I was trilled receiving this project, apparently my first time for a dog with a parent portrait as a commission and I have surprised myself to have this done in 2 days. Well the dog made me excited cause yeah, I'm a dog 🐶 lover. ❤
So here are the photos in progress 😆 :
(camera used Ipad Mini 1)

Human First. I've drawn the upper part first so the lower part of the paper is clear and I've got nothing to smudge on.

I always start on eyes 👀, it is very important to really focus on them, so at first look you'll know they are them. 😲
Tip: use kneaded eraser for highlighting.

Zooming in. For dog's fur, I used empty ball pen to leave white lines/ fur strands they wont be cover up by the charcoal pencil.
