#process pics!
I started by digitally drawing lineart over the reference photo. I printed just the lines and transferred it to the canvas to get a starting point for proportions.
I wanted to do this one more loose than some of my recent pet paintings, so I tried to focus first on over all values and not get caught up in individual hairs. I also filled the eyes in black first, which helped, since last time I had issues with tiny flecks of white canvas showing through around the edges.
