Description A white winter rose.

For you it is a rose, for me it is my heart ~

My beautiful darling, Shira. Shes a purebred Swedish White Elkhound of 12 years. A veteran hunter, known for her good cooperativeness and excellence in the field. This year was her last year as a working dog, now she is retired.

Quite a few hours with my bamboo tablet and photoshop. I'm very happy with the result, and I had much fun doing this piece. I hope you like it!

Please full view, and let me know what you think!!

Aww, im sorry I dont! But theres loads of great tutorials out there! When I first started digital painting I checked out quite a few of them. After a while I developed my own technique. Heres some links to a few good tutorials. If you search for "fur tutorial" you will find LOADS more! [link] , [link] , [link] , [link] .

This is beautiful!
So realistic, and I adore her calm expression. Very peaceful ^^
And you're technique is awesome, the fur is so detailed and looks silky, but not too soft, and you can still see her facial features underneath! Amazing ;D

First of all, what kind of dog is she? She is beautiful!
Second-Critique time as requested!
The theme is followed through. You repeat colors very well. The grand pose of the dog is very noble and her anatomy is very realistic I have to double take to make sure its not a photo.
Background is a little boring, but I guess it doesn't matter since its all about the pooch.
I think you MASTERED the eyes. They make my heart melt.
Over all, beautiful piece and beautiful dog.

Thank you! Shes a 12year old swedish white elkhound.. I think I have to edit this and put that in the text, a lot of people asks that question.. My bad :8

Im very happy you think this piece is so well done, I put a lot of work and effort in to it! <3 Next time I will try to make a more interesting background, without it stealing too much focus Maybe I could have drawn some trees or something in the background here, to make it more interesting?

Yeah. It's just missing something. It's too empty. Trees or mountains would look good.

Midnight-Sun-Art In reply to ArcticIceWolf [2012-11-01 22:07:39 +0000 UTC]

Shira aint no white shepherd ^^ Kinda looks a bit the same, facial, tho. Have had more people ask that, or akita inu (when you see her whole body, you'll see shes not a shepherd, but many people mistake her for an akita instead, lol! ) Shes of a rare, not very well known swedish breed; swedish white elkhound (its quite new, got accepted as a separate breed in 1993 ) I do understand the confusion, I really should write more about that when I submit photos/drawings off her.. <.< Here she is, take a look if you like : [link]

Wow! This is incredible, Stidi. I see a gigantic improvement from the ones you submitted before to our Group. I love how clear the fur is and how well defined everything is. Plus the face is very sweet and adorable. Well done!

Thank you! I compared them and was like.. woow.. Quite the difference! So I have to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your critique, it was of so much help to me. I'm very happy that I managed to improve that much, and only because someone took the time to give me some good advice and help <3. I'm in so much debt to you! When my horses are as good as this one, I'll dedicate that one to you! So keep declining until you think its good enough
