Great Pyrenees Dog Portrait

Before switching to digital painting, I did all my pet portraits with an airbrush. Comments, suggestions, critique always welcome :slight_smile:

That looks amazing! The fur in his thighs has such good volume.

I have zero experience with airbrushes, so, opinions of a dumba** haha

If anything, i think the background makes the image too somber. Kind steals the beauty from this gorgeous lad.

Beautiful work as always and thanks for sharing @Elixiah

@ASK432 ,I developed severe carpal tunnel in my hands from 30 yrs of airbrushing motorcycle art. I could no longer operate my airbrush or handle traditional brushes. Surgery alleviated the pain and numbness, but I have permanent damage. A friend introduced me to digital painting, which lets me hold the stylus very lightly and still paint effectively. I fell in love with digital ever since. :slight_smile:

Thanks @CadillacRancher . I airbrushed art on the motorcycles themselves. When I first started out, I also did the prep, base coat painting and clearcoat. But later on hired a partner to take on the โ€œgruntโ€ work so I could concentrate on artwork only. I still have some of my custom paint jobs on my Facebook art page. Hereโ€™s a link to it. Thanks for asking :slight_smile: Facebook
