- Jack 4
All scratched, and I started inking with a tech pen to bring back the darkest areas. You can see that on the left side; I have to finish inking that large dark patch of chest on the left side and add ink to the right side. Then I can add watercolor & scratch to fine tune. His eyes need more work also. - Jacob (Final)
Jacob's portrait is finished. I love his crooked little smile! 5" x 5" scratchboard, with watercolor Scratched with a #16 X-Acto. Color is minimal - a purplish grey for everything, except brown for his eyes. About Jacob: https://chimphaven.org/chimps/jacob/ - Ranger 5 - Face Detail
Face detail of Stage 5 I didn't scan the entire drawing at this stage. More scratching since the last update has built up texture and depth, tones are blended. Highlights here and there, more contrast between his face & the water (although I'll tone down that white edge a bit). - Ronin & Me
- Deputy Gregory & Me
Deputy Gregory and me, with a print of the Ronin drawing. Deputy Gregory was Ronin's former handler. I took the reference photo for the drawing when he and Ronin were at a fund-raising event and wanted him to have a print of the drawing.
