View a better quality image on DeviantArt: http://bit.ly/1QecX4p . Music is slightly delayed at the start. Unfortunately, YouTube did not keep my HD. :/I seem to work around each painting in a similar fashion: eyes done first, then a little of the face, then the nose, any body, background then whiskers. Each gets multiple layers of paint and color. It's just a routine that feels right. :)For more Drawing Mom, and to order your own pet portrait, please visit http://www.drawingmom.com. :)Thank you for the music, http://www.bensound.com.
