Pitbull - Drawing Process <3 (and opinions)

in #drawing6 years ago (edited)

Hello everyone! I will show you the process of my drawing of a pitbull with a wreath of flowers and leaves. It took me a lot of time but i enjoyed every moment i was drawing <3

The materials i used were:

  • White cardboard (letter size)
  • HB pencil (for the sketch)
  • Colored pencils (prismacolor premier)
  • Watercolors (for the background)
  • White and gold painting (for the details)
  • A bit of gold glitter

It started with the sketch, where i used the pencil hb, although at the beginning i did not define the lines of the crown on his head, but i started to apply the color.

I made the eyes, the nose and part of its snout. Since i was a child i have always loved and respected animals, but dogs have been my favorites over everything, i can not describe their love for us, their sweetness, loyalty, fidelity and companionship. I just love them so much! It does not matter if it is of race or not <3

I fell in love when i finished his little face! So cute! <3. For the coat, first apply a light green color, so that when i used the light brown, i achieved the tone i needed and i was patiently mix with beige, intermediate brown and dark brown, plus a little pink for the areas of the snout and eyes.

And so i started to draw the flowers that i then needed to outline, i decided to write my name since i was uploading the process to some social networks and i wanted to avoid any inconvenience and despite having a reference, i had to change the tones a lot because i do not have such a wide range of colors.

I delineated all the flowers and leaves to put the color (i was mixing and testing colors at the top and bottom of the drawing xD) but i was enjoying the result. Especially his face so tender!

That's why i do not believe in the false myths about pitbull's, they are very strong and imposing, but they have a cute and beautiful personality. If there are aggressive pitbulls and with bad character, but it is only the result of a bad owner or mistreatment </3. When you have a pitbull and you educate it with love and affection, you will be returned a pure and infinite love as any other dog does.

Let's continue with the process:

I put a lot of effort into him and i must say that i completely loved the result!!!!

I placed the watercolors, the paintings, added the glitter and finally cut the surplus and finished my work!

Thanks so much for looking! A hug! <3 <3 <3
Let us love and care for animals.

Thanks to a person in the comments, i was able to know who was the author of the photograph i used as a reference, the credits of Sophie Gamand can look at the photo and follow it in Instragram, it is full of beautiful things! https://www.instagram.com/p/BFjHpXkEPai/ <3

Hi! Your drawing looks good! Love how you blended the colors well and the proportions are good as well. It would be more awesome if you include the photo reference on the post though, not that it is bad if you don't, but it would be lovely to give credits to the photographer Sophie Gamand who took the shot. <3

Thank you! I'm glad you like it!, i appreciate the information, it was a picture i saw on Facebook and i did not know who the author was, i love it!

Wow! You did a great job! Love the flowers and the color. I like how you used the colors and texture, this is truly a work of art and deserves to be rewarded.

And I agree, we have to love and care our animales.

One of the most cutest and funniest drawing process I have encountered. The dog's reputation and the the flowers just contrasted. I like the color blending and nice job on the anatomy/proportions. It looks really lively :D

Thank you very much for your nice comment! I'm glad to know that you liked it :)

Pretty :) I love pitbulls, they are not the demon dogs people make them out to be .... And the colours are beautiful, you blend them well!

Congrats for curie, also :)

The pitbull is some kinda sad or starting to cry?
It makes us more compassionate to animals.

But the drawing is great!
You're very creative indeed!
The colors are fantastic as well.

Thank you very much dear friend. Seeing the photo also gave me the impression that there was sadness in the expression of the pitbull, then, when i read the description of the photographer, i knew that she was a very scared bitch and that she needed a home, i hope she has found a family that takes care of and give her all the love she deserves <3

Oh yeah!
She will be fine. There are still many pet lovers, especially for dogs. But there are also those who sold them or even make them food for survival. But its prohibited here in our country. There is a law on animal right act here.

this is a perfect beauty♥

thank you <3 <3 <3

I really like the autumn palette and the crown on the dog is just aww adorable

It's great when artists go beyond their imagination.

The flowers on the head are crazy cool.

And I quite like the area of the eyes and nose, has been beautiful, this Pitbull is tender <3.

The background with watercolors is a journey.

Congratulations Danianny!

That fog looks so cute and adorable, you did an amazing job with this! I love the glitters in the background and the colorful wreath on his head makes him look even more cute!

I totally agree with you on the fact that a dog acts based on how he/she is treated. If you treat it with love then be sure that you are gonna have a loving a sweet pet and if you treat it badly then well, you are gonna get what you give. Lol!

Yes, it is exactly like that, I wish all the people without exception will love and take care of them

That would have been really awesome!

Just wow. THis is amazing. It's funny how you start with just the nose painted as if it was nothing yet :D And that nose alone is amazing :D

Btw I'm wondering why did you add that signature on the 3rd picture. Is it cuz it started to be quite good already at that point so you wanted to add the signature against people pirating it or?

Great work there! Congratz to ur curie upvote! Well deserved 100%

I am very grateful for your comment, thank you, and yes, as i went on i started having more people who shared my work, so i decided to put my name, there are people who do not mind doing plagiarism:/

A friend of mine had a pitbull who was the loveliest animal in the world. He always wanted to hug and lie close to her. Such a sweet puppy. I don't believe that a dog's character is wrong. I agree with you that it is a result of a mistreatment or owner's behaviour.

I fell in love with this dog too! He looks so sweet. And I love the 'crown' that you gave him. The autumn theme is great for this season. Those little pumpkins must be difficult for it to balance on its head but it looks like this dog is managing it perfectly :)

I love the colors that you used for the flowers and leaves. And the rustic background is not overpowering the focus point that is the dog.

Very well done! Thank you for sharing!

Owwww thank you very much, i appreciate it very much. Your friend is undoubtedly a great owner :)

Love this pitbull, they are one of the favorite dogs, many people are very afraid of them but they are very tender and obedient.

I like very much your mixed technique of using colors, pencils and paint but the brightness, very realistic the expression the coat and his eyes impacted me, as well as your subtlety to paint every detail and blur the tones.

I must say that I did not expect to see the dog with an ornament on his head, but that gives a much more tropical touch and gives a lot of strength to the piece.

Very nice creation, let's take care of the animals.

pitbull is the best

See you soon, friend. Thank you for sharing.

Felicidades por tu primer voto curie.. Has hecho un increible trabajo con este dibujo y está súper merecido, un gran abrazo @daniannyveronica

Ahhhh muchisimas gracias!! Apenas comencé y recién me enteré de lo que era un voto curie, lo mejor fue recibirlo en el post con uno de los dibujos que más he amado hacer, te envío un gran abrazo para ti también!

The drawing of the pitbull is really magnificent, I loved the area of the eyes and the snout. The wreath of flowers seemed strange to me, but still original and well made. A very nice work. Upvote!

Indeed, you must love the result because it is beautiful. It is very colorful and that is a very unique pitbull with flowers! 😄

How big is your drawing? And how long did it take you to finish it?

Thank you! I was pretty busy with the university, so i only drew small moments when i could, i did not take the exact time, but i think it could be about 15 hours, or a little longer, i try to give good details, without hurry. The size is small, when i cut the leftover parts it was 21.5 x 22 cm :)

21.5 x 22 cm is still a pretty good size for a painting. And you still make very good painting in spite of your busy school life. That is a very good hobby to spend your free time with so keep painting great stuff! 😊

What do you do with your painting by the way? Do you print and frame them?

Thank you very much, i try to take the time to do what i like the most. And yes, i try to frame them, or at least those drawings that i think i've done a great job :), like this for example. And others, i keep them well stored in folders so they do not get damaged over time

I think your paintings will look great as lined up on your wall. How about that? :)

They are scattered around different places and with different people, family and friends who are very precious to me and to whom i give some drawings of what i do hehe

That is very nice of you. I am sure they will treasure your gifts.

If you have more paintings and you do it more often then it can be a good part-time business, you know. 😊

What a beautiful illustration, the doggo looks totally cute with all the leaves and plants on its head. Nicely painted :D.
