When starting an animal portrait, my process begins with selecting reference photos that clearly capture the pet's unique expression, particularly focusing on the light and emotion reflected in their eyes. While fur texture is important, I believe the essence of the pet is conveyed primarily through their eyes and facial expression, which helps owners immediately recognize their beloved companion in the artwork. I decided to incorporate a green background to accentuate the pet’s eye color, creating a balanced and harmonious composition that draws the viewer’s focus to the most expressive features.
