Porkchop, the Boston Terrier

This was a first for me! About a month ago, Joy, a friend from high school, contacted me about painting a picture of her beloved Boston Terrier, Porkchop. I was honest in telling her that I had never painted portraits of animals (or humans) for that matter, but that I was up for the challenge! I'm not going to lie, I was a little nervous. Luckily, Joy had faith in me and once I started sketching Porkchop, I really began to love this project. Joy had sent me a few pictures of Porkchop, of what she was looking for and just asked that I include bright colors. What you see is Porkchop dressed up as a ballerina one year for Halloween.
