Portrait of Bob W.I.P.

I have slowly, but surely, been working on getting portraits of my pets done to promote my new endeavor of painting portraits of peoples' pets. I have not gotten much interest yet, but I am hoping that will change with having more paintings done. Here is the progress so far of my painting of Bob.

Portrait of Riley - Steps

I had this idea to paint one of my dogs as if he was in a traditional portrait. I put in about 8 hours on Saturday while listening to "Roseanne" on the TV in the background. I figure that I have about an hour or two left until completion. I have had a really great time painting this and laughing the entire time. Here are some of the steps in my progress so far. Painting done entirely in Adobe Photoshop on a Wacom Cintiq tablet.

Update***
Painting complete. Total time: 10 hrs.
