THE CREATION PROCESS

As you can see from the reference photo, the eyes are rather dark minimising the detail I needed, however I was able to lighten up the eyes a little more and added the missing catchlights as well as lightening the rest of the face and also tone down the shadows in the white fur which was over exposed on the photograph - this all helped to balance out the image and the final Artwork.
