Thank you!
If that dog actually tied it himself your sister could be becoming wealthy, lol.
That a good point my friend (lol).
This breed is actually capable of being very smart dog breed!
And I mean it!
No many of dogs are capable of imagining 2D flat drawing as an 3D object!
The Border Collie the TV documentary was about, could recognise (if I get it right) around 400 of 2D flat pictures!
After showing him the picture he was going to other room, and picking up matching item and bringing it over!
Wow!
I wasn't aware that it's sort of unusual skill to the dog, to being able connect the 2D picture to the real 3D item, whether it's a shoe, or ball or else...!
So my sister's dog could be actually considered to be capable of making this bow tie by himself!
(
- it's joke obviously 
)But the TV documentary is not
What I find interesting in the way you approach a drawing is that you work the whole drawing at once. Some here some there.
Yeah, that's true...
You see, there's many things to do while we drawing...
When I gave no time, I'm blocking the background in then, so I'm carry on progressing as often as I can...
The plain background requires me no much focus or attention, and it can be very relaxing
So once is done, I can move on to more challenging parts of the drawing when I can spent moretime on it
How do you keep that charcoal powder from getting into the image?
I'm rubbing it into the paper tooth with the cotton ball, so it isn't loose anymore.
But this is actually my first time when I'm experimenting with mixed powder to walnut oil.
I have rubbed the mixed liquid into the paper surface, so it's firm and solid like a paint...
Once dry - won't smudge the drawing (I'm hoping so, as this is an experiment
)
Thank you!
Looking forward to following your drawing.
