I've decided to a portrait of a dog. I don't know how long it will take to complete, but hopefully sooner rather than later. I've got a bunch of reference photos. I drew a very rough sketch to settle the pose and I've also sampled and laid out the base colours. I am going to wing it with the paint; a better strategy would be to use a finer cartoon sketch - a "cartoon" is the name for a drawing the artist makes that gets painted over.
I took the cartoon, reversed the colour in Photoshop, and superimposed it on the paint so that the dog doesn't look like the amorphous blob the first stages of a paint job so often resembles.
