I'll paint a portrait of your dog (only today, 22 Dec!)

I offered free animal portraits last year, and I really enjoyed hearing little stories about the relationship people had with their pets. Plus, it's a nice way to gauge my progress over time.

I sketch them out with pencil on paper, then paint it in with gouache. With this style, each one takes me 15-20 minutes, so I'm not going to be able to do hundreds today. If there are more submissions than I can get to, I'll pick the photos that have the best lighting and/or personality. So send me your favorite picture of your four-legged companion; I look forward to seeing them! I'm also considering this my Christmas gift to the people of Reddit 🥰
