Well, I messed it up big-time and didn't want to touch it anymore. So 'tis done. LOL... *cringe*

 

[Whisper]

How do you not like it, Grace? I think it's beautiful.

 

[RD]

I messed up big time on the shading. But thanks, Virginia!

Photoshop is fun! Lol. Here's the start of another quick picture.

 

[Lizmo]

It's beautiful, Grace. You did a wonderful job.

 

[AusCatDogs_4Ever]

Those are so awesome!
What brushes and things do you use to do the fur??

 

[Brandyb]

Wow! Great work!!

 

[smkie]

why in the world are you cringing you silly silly girl, wonderful work!!!!!!!

 

[RD]

I made my own brushes, Aus, and I do some of the fur detail with the standard hard 1px round brush. I downloaded some "fur" brushes out there on the 'net, but they looked kind of odd and were very difficult to use.

Thanks for the comments!

Edited to add what I've done on the BC picture so far:

 

[Lizmo]

That's AMAZING! :hail:

Eve's breeder is going to LOVE it

 

[RD]

I hope so! It's almost done.

 

[Whisper]

WOW, Grace! That's inredible! I LOVE it.

 

[Lizmo]

Oh My Goodness, Grace! That's Magnificent :hail:

 

[Plear]

That's amazing!

 

[RD]

Aww, thanks!

 

[Brandyb]

Beautiful final product!!!! I don't know how you do it. I play around on photoshop all the time (its part of my job), but to do something like that - well - I'm in awe!

 

[Laurelin]

Beautiful RD! Do you use any brushes. I must be stupid because I can't figure out how to make them work. Well that and I don't have photoshop, only paint shop pro. But I try to make due.

Here's a quick little rough something:

ETA: Sorry it's so big. The outline was inked without any erasing- I'm trying to get better at just drawing without having to erase and erase and erase. Colored quickly in PSP 9.

Here's the original:

And here's my current WIP, though not really a dog... Anthros count lol?

And a detail of a detail I don't know why I'm putting in as you can hardly see it anyways:

It's taking me forever. >.<

And as of now, it's 11 confusing layers.

 

[Brandyb]

Hey Laurelin,
Nice work!!!
I'm on deviant art too. I tried to see if I could add your papillion to my favorites, but I can't see the option on your page.

**Edit - opps, never mind, the problem was me, you can disregard this - LOL

 

[RD]

I love it, Laurelin!

As for brushes... Honestly, I'm not good at using them either. I wind up just using individual strokes most of the time. I don't know a thing about PSP so I don't know if you can make your own brushes in that, but I do make my own in photoshop to give the rough "appearance" of hair before I add the detail. You can download "fur" brushes for photoshop but I never got the hang of them.

I can't draw a dang thing without erasing. It's actually easier for me to get things right in Photoshop because I *can* erase my mistakes without ruining the piece.

 

[Plear]

You all make me feel so un-talented. LOL
