One of my favorite drawings of our Yorki-poo, Miya, has been nagging at me that something just wasn't right about it. Today I decided to revisit and make a few changes hoping to capture her likeness better.
Original Drawing and evaluation:
Although this has been the closest I could get with likeness, I was bothered by the shape of her face and eyes. They were off making this look like another dog. Face appears too wide and eyes not large enough. If I look at Miya, her eyes are closer to the size of her nose. I also felt this lacked shading on one side of her face...making it look kind of flat.
Today's Changes and feelings with results:
I think with the changes, I have come much closer to her likeness and I like the shading a little better. I wasn't crazy about all the white in and around the eye that I left in the original drawing and definitely made her eyes too small. With the changes, I felt I should leave the eyes a little smaller than the nose, keeping in mind the foreshortening with her snout/nose being closer.
I might re-evaluate this again at a later time but for now I am pleased with the changes. This definitely looks more like our Miya.
