Okay I started a new portrait of Bandit, and I added darker blue values and a touch of red to Astro's...
#paintings#work in progress#pet portraits#wip#watercolors#dogs#watercolor on panel#tbh bandit's new portrait is more realistic than astro Or the og one of cooper. on the other hand roscoe's portrait looks like itll end u#up being on the more realistic side too#so...its probably okay#dksartz

Cries in they don't look ANYTHING like each other style-wise AT ALL which was a MAJOR goal of this commission, to do 3 more of the dogs in the same style to display together!!
They're all equally wonderful portraits but they're in completely different styles and idefk what to do rn ;___;

Sketching out new sticker ideas (also for acrylic charms/pins maybe) and these are my favorites so far! ^.^

Some more progress on bandits portrait
If I'm removing paint is it reverse progress? I'm also adding paint as well, but sparingly.

I decided to Very carefully try and undo my overworking on this piece, just erasing excess paint with carefully applied water, and then adding in some brighter bits of sepia and goldenrod to just make it not so dull and dark and flat looking.
So far I think it looks a lot better, still some work to do, but stopped here for today.

Isn't this face so endearingly squishable? This is my favorite of the dog portraits so far and makes me want to redo the other one otl
#pet portraits#wip#dogs#paintings#watercolors#dksartz#so i have two styles when working with watercolors. one is Mimic Acrylic. the other is Classic Watercolor tm#if i use watercolors as if theyre acrylics (more or less - theyre very different but if i push them i can do it) i get something more like#the portrait of bandit. meanwhile this is what it looks like when i let watercolors be what they are#the problem with the one of bandit is i thought i HAD to push the paints to layer and be dark bc the dog is black. but so is astro!#and astro here - you can TELL this is a black and white dog. even tho hes blue-purpley#and while the request was for bandit to be more browns (and needed to add blues) i didnt REALLY need to push the paint that hard#i could have left it LIGHT AND AIRY and still communicated black dog with curly fur#and brown tints on his muzzle etc#but ... idk what to do with the existing painting of bandit if i start over on a new panel

Ive made some progress on the next portrait for this commission, another curly black-furred doggo, this time using blue-purple tones - and golden-pink for his distinct white patches!

Working on a pet portrait comm, 1 of 3!
Plus the previous painting I have to more or less match the style to:

#pet portraits#pet portrait#painting#watercolor on panel#dog portrait#watercolors#dksartz#wip#work in progress#also de-aging the doggos a bit depending on the photo ref bc the first one i did looks like the dog as a puppy#so sticking to that style to make all 4 pieces look cohesive together means making them all look like puppies#eveb if the photos are of adult doggos

The mini sketchbooks will also be available soon but I prioritized the larger formats first especially the Pride ones ^_^
