Now with color! This is the first pass of watercolor, next I'll scratch to soften, blend & bring back details.

Scratched to fine tune after adding color. It's lighter, but just wait, I'll add another pass of watercolor, then minimal scratching to fine tune, and the portrait will be finished! I'm in the home stretch....
Check out this video where I added the highlights to her eyes.
And this video that shows scratching previously added color. - Hanna 8 (Final)

Almost done with the scratching to the point where I can add color. The left side of his face needs to be scratched, then I'll ink to bring back dark areas, then add color. I'll also layer more fur over his "Sheriff" collar, but have to wait to do that until I have the color down first, so the fur can overlap that. - K9 Yukon - #1
Just getting started ... Plenty left to do at this point, but good progress. - K9 Yukon - #3
All scratched - ready for color - K9 Yukon - #5
Not quite done, but really, really close. Needs watercolor over some of the scratched areas, then select scratching to finish the portrait. Compare this one to the previous image where the portrait was much rougher. The scratching has helped to blend & soften the fur and tones. This stage is lighter, but the last pass with watercolor will bring back some contrast and color. - K9 Yukon - Final
