Border Collie

[Whisper]

I recently discovered digital art. I still prefer traditional mediums, but I do enjoy working on the computer.

Here's one of a Border Collie I did. Don't be harsh, though. It's only the second digital painting I've ever done. I know the whiskers are all wrong.

The fur texture is spiff. :O I love it.

My only crit is that the nose/muzzle area looks way more toony than the rest. But you seem to be aware of it, and it's just something to practice as you go.

Wow, the fur turned out super well! I like it!

Virginia, that looks amazing. Really. The eyes have such detail. <3 <3 Keep drawing!

[smkie]

Nice depth too. Great work

 

[MyHorseMyRules]

Very nice! That's super cool.

I think it looks great. The fur looks so real. I love it

 

[puppydog]

Very very nice! I love how you have captured the expression! I love it!

Looks totally pet-able! And those eyes are really excellent and expressive

Thanks, everyone! I just saw this. I know the muzzle is weird, so I'm paying special attention to that now. I'm practicing more digital drawings with Jessie's dogs right now.

I think it looks really good, the only thing I can see is the nose, which looks cartoony rather then 'real'

What program are you using?

 

[Whisper]

Yep, the nose is all wrong, and I really BSed the whiskers, too. The size of the file I was working on was too small, so I couldn't make little realistic whiskers and the muzzle was what I did last, so I was like, "Ok, a few whiskers. DONE! *collapses*"

I used Paint.net. I can't afford Photoshop at the moment.
