Today I proofed Lucia. This pretty little Chihuahua was a lot of fun to work on. At 88k the original photo was pretty low in resolution. I did several things to improve upon the original photograph before I even started painting. The first thing I addressed were the shadows and highlights in the photo and the lack of detail in the eye to our left. I brightened the eyes and opened them up just a tad wider. Then I rotated the head just a little bit to get a fun playful expression.
You can click the image above to see the detail in the changes made. Below you will see a bright bold proofing option and then below that a more tame version with natural coat coloring.
