My first dog portrait of 2021 depicts Rosie, a Coton de Tulear. The Coton is a small white dog named after the city of Tuléar in Madagascar and known as the “Royal Dog of Madagascar.” Those that own the Coton de Tulear find they make a bright, happy companion dog. This breed loves to clown around and follow their owners around the house. The Coton may be small but a very sturdy small white dog.
The Drawing
Sometimes I receive more challenging images to create a drawing. In this case, the photos were not the most glamorous. Some were in your face-head shots with Rosie’s tongue hanging out. These types of images cause the dog to look out of proportion and not the most flattering. I finally settle on the following photo. I figured it was the best to show off Rosie’s personality.
As you can see from the image of Rosie, I had to create part of the hind leg and the tail to make the drawing work.
This drawing was a gift from Rosie’s owner’s best friend. Pet portraits make lovely gifts that your friends will always remember you by.
