Welsh Cob WIP
Right, here's the scan I promised of Geoffrey's portrait - well, the work in progress. I am very pleased indeed with how the eye turned out.
I have mentioned this before - I always start with the eyes. You might get a 'perfect' likeness..get all the markings and details right...right down to single hairs, yet if you don't manage to capture the look in the pet's eyes - that individual look the owner loves - it is not this particular animal but just some cat, dog, horse.... It is the pet's essence I want to capture, their personality.

Oh wow! You've captured his eye perfectly. I always think the lines above his eyes may him look like he's a little worried and you've got it spot on.
He's very warm and loving and eager to please and I can definitely see that in your portrait of him.
