Collie Commission and Tutorial

Pete

8x10 inch commission

Coloured pencil on drafting film

Meet Pete! This commission brings back memories of childhood and watching Lassie on TV. They truly are magnificent dogs and my next commission is another Collie. The lady who commissioned this portrait asked for a step by step guide as to how the portrait was created and so I thought others might be interested as well. If you would like to try your hand at drawing this Collie dog, you can find this 16 page step by step tutorial on the tutorials page of my website 

Step by Step Drawing Tutorial - Graphite Dog Portrait

This tutorial is a lengthy 17 pages long, with numerous progressive images to guide you through doing a graphite pencil portrait of a dog. This tutorial is also available as a PDF either directly from my website or from my Etsy or Ebay stores. It has a comprehensive list of materials used and provides many hints and tips on how to work with drafting film which can take a little getting used to at first, but is well worth persevering with. Drafting film allows you to draw with very fine detail and makes a photorealistic looking portrait quite easy to achieve.
