Keeva’s portrait is really starting to take shape. In Part Two of the tutorial, I focus on deepening the realism in her ears, fur, and nose, laying the foundations for her full character to shine through. I talk through how I build texture, adjust tones, and make subtle decisions that bring her to life.

Part one of Keeva’s tutorial is now live on Patreon. I talk through step by step in real time about everything I’m doing to draw this beautiful German Shepherd pet portrait in soft pastels. Here is a brief overview of the experience of drawing Keeva so far.
