Some of you may recognize her as I have shared her portrait earlier on my IG account. As you can see the picture is small and blurry but since Bamse sadly has passed away, I had to work with it and I&#8217;m still happy with how the drawing turned out. I used many photos of other Bernese Mountain Dogs in order to get a feeling for the coat&#8217;s texture and the direction of hair growth while still capturing Bamse&#8217;s unique face and expression. <br \/>In general, I&#8217;d say that the better the reference picture is the better the drawing will turn out. But I know that in some cases there are no photos of good quality of a beloved pet and I can absolutely work with those, too!<br \/>I will always do my best to capture the texture of the animal&#8217;s coat and the uniqueness of its features. In fact, the drawing usually still turns out to have a wonderful hd effect \ud83d\ude0a<br \/>So don&#8217;t hesitate to contact me if you want to purchase a customized pet portrait even though you might only have a blurry photo to work with \u2665<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Sometimes people ask me if I can also draw portraits using low quality reference pictures &#8211; the answer is yes!\ud83d\ude0a Here you see Bamse.
