Description Another piece for my admission portfolio, just to show what I can do with a pencil

This is =JadedInNowhere 's late dog Dixie, she's such a B-E-A-UTIFUL dalmation!!!! I really loved doing this portrait, anything with animals just makes me all tingley inside.

The original photo was taken by and it is here: [link]

Done in around 6 hours, it would have been faster if there wasn't a THS Investigates marathon on TV.

2B, 4B, 8B pencils

...I was just about to say when I saw the thumbnail, "I bet this makes Sarah tear up." I had no idea it was actually her dog. xD

How the flying hell do you manage to get the contrast so good!? O_O

hehehe
sometimes i use a little black prisma. but other than that, just press down super duper hard?

also i kind of touched up the pencil strokes via photoshop, not much

i touch up all my pictures. taking a picture of my artwork with my crappy camera never turns out right, this way, it will look closer to how it actually looks. its more presentable
