I started with an underpainting to capture the cool tones in Fig's fur:
Next, I used black paint on a fairly large brush to map out the general details of her face:
Finally, I used a smaller brush to define her nose, mouth and eyes, as well as the wonderful wrinkles in her face. I decided to change the color of her collar to purple and paint her against a pink background, since she is a very "girly" Pug.
I've made some major updates to my animal portrait Print Store and Notecard Store, so check them out if you want to order a print of Fig Newton or any of the other dogs in my show.
