I have taken lots of photos of it for you as I painted it so you can see it pop to life...


 This is the original sketch on wood that I did to begin.



You can see I have made my first brush strokes to shade in the fur.


The next steps are  the eyes, the ears


Nose



and mouth!



Next are the fine lines and background to really bring him to life!




Ta Da!

That was so much FUN, and I am so excited to share him with you!

I hope you enjoyed meeting him as much as I did! :)
