Pet Portrait: Shawnee and Winter
Though these two buddies were moved slightly to make a better composition on the paper, Shawnee and Winter really were just hanging out together like this. It's not that my dogs don't love my boyfriend's cat, Scout's just too impatient to sit there calmly when she could be giving the top of the cat's head a bath. Seriously, she coughs up more fur balls than he does.

Disclaimer: One problem with working off an image where the flash was used is dealing with the demonic red eyes, which is why natural light is definitely preferred in reference photos. Hopefully my educated guess was close enough (I did have help with at least being told the cat's eyes were most likely blue, so it wasn't as stressful as I could have made it)!

Until next time! Lauren H.
