Recently received an assignment for a pastel drawing in size 21 x30 cm. The Tervueren Shepherd Doenja is a beautiful dog with a tough appearance. The eyes are the main focus of the portrait for me. These reflect the soul and character of the dog. On the photo her fur and tongue are lighter from the sun. I adjusted the colors while drawing and also omitted the background and shadow. On gray pastel paper, the portrait of Doenja comes beautiful into its own.
