Check out Danny Amazanas work, also. Same concept as Susans.

I've made a start and learned a few things. A) I am going to need to use a lot more grey and blue tones mixed with the blacks because otherwise it just looks like a blob of black B) I have trouble cutting free hand shapes...all my shapes want to be linear. C) I don't have to finish one area,I can skip around and fill in bits and pieces as I see them.
Here he is...His name is "Atlas" and my daughter found him as a tiny puppy abandoned way up North on the Trans Canada Highway. [ATTACH=CONFIG]596189[/ATTACH] And, here's what I have so far....the black triangular pieces will come off once the face is done, they are just there to show me where his facial bones end and his ruff begins and the highlights in his eyes and the tongue are just bits of fabric stuck there for now, but you get the idea.

Great progress!
It's going to be fun to watch Atlas come to life!!!! Roughly what size is he going to be? (PS ... check your PMs) |

I have no idea of how to construct it -
but I do have a suggestion for something to look at. go to jigidi.com - and look at the puzzles featuring animals. It's interesting to me how my mind/brain "sees" the colors - for example, I think I am looking at a white cat - and it's actually tan or greenish white or grayish white. On some of the black animals, the shine comes across as "white" |
Beautiful dog and wonderful project!

How about taking a photo of the dog in black and white - instead of "color" - and then the shadings might be easier to see.
