My photos have been coming out truly sad... washed out... can't see detail.
Grey Girl Graphics (company that built this site) showed me how to make my own Photo Lightbox.
I made this one- learned some things and will make another=Larger with White Tape instead of Black.
​All in All though it came out pretty good I think.

Step by Step of Dear Darling Dudley.
I took a gazillion photos to get a decent one I could use... he was such a sweet dog. 
I was gonna leave off the slobbery brown bits around his mouth but owner Jim said "Leave it in. That's Dudley."
So I did.
This is literally the second pet portrait I've ever done.
The first was of my own Sweet Squirt. I was unhappy with it. And too depressed as I drew it.
She passed. VERY hard to handle.
I started the portrait years later. But couldn't deal.
It's been 8/9 years now. 
I may try again... we shall see.
