This was a commission - I enjoy drawing & painting dogs, cats, horses and whatever other domestic pets, especially in oils. Although it's ideal for me to meet the animal and take my own photos, I can work from the client's reference photos as long as they provide enough clarity and character to be adequate reference. If I'm working in a tight realism style, especially acrylic miniatures, I require exceptionally detailed photos; but whatever the medium, I need to get a sense of the animal's character, so the more photos, the better!
Jack definitely has a devil-may-care attitude. He's mischievous, curious and the king of the house... and he knows it.
