Japanese chin
This is another black and white dog – and thank heavens for the white part. I am still working on how to do the black without it getting overly dark. I am not very familiar with this breed but it is on the small side. This is a puppy picture and it has a certain baby animal softness to it. I wanted to retain its playful quality too. I can just imagine it scampering around with its tongue hanging out, exploring new things. I’m going to darken just a hair around the left eye and then it will be done.

Fantastically cute! And such a great job with the tongue! I always worry about any kind of open mouth, but especially with a tongue like that. Terrific!

I was especially worried about the tongue because it is the bottom side! Curled up tongue = harder. And she told me she liked the tongue hanging out.

I know he is someone else’s dog, but oh, I could take him home and love on him. Good portrait, Ruth!

I have met him. He is my cousin’s dog and he is very sweet. A little on the small side for me, though.
