Approach this dog portrait with a focus on blending and layering to achieve realistic fur textures, creating depth and character.
Colored pencils are highly recommended for achieving detailed fur textures and subtle blending on the dog. Markers can be used for the larger background areas for smooth coverage, while fine-tip pens could enhance the collar and nose details.
Start by coloring the largest fur areas with light, even strokes. Use a limited palette for the dog's fur, focusing on gentle blending between any patterned areas. Keep the background simple by applying one or two shades of green, ensuring all areas are filled without going outside the lines.
Utilize cross-hatching and stippling to build believable fur texture. Employ subtle layering with multiple analogous tones to add dimension to the dog's coat and create a lifelike appearance. Use soft blending for the background foliage to maintain its out-of-focus quality, while adding a few sharper leaf outlines for interest.
