I was thinking about what to do with @everlove 's photo for the collaborative art journey. When I first saw the picture she posted I thought it was some sort of abstract painting until she explained that it was peeling paint on a wall.
What I couldn't stop seeing in the picture was almost the perfect shape of a dog. So, that is what I made the picture into.
This is also my first time trying to paint like this ever in my life. Up until I got my digital graphic pen I was limited to only pencil sketches on paper or more cartoony drawings on the computer. This pen really opens up the power of photoshop for any artists out there. I highly recommend getting one if you're into painting, sketching, animation, etc.
I got mine off amazon for only $55 CAD when it was on sale, so they are certainly affordable now.
Time Lapse
I've also made a time lapse video showing the whole procedure. It's a little long at 21 minutes, but that's 800% faster than it took me.
