Description Last weekend I bought a new book "The Artist's Complete Guide to Facial Expression" By Gary Faigin to help me portray more complex/interesting emotion and personality in my works, so expect more portraits in the near future.

I was going for a stern looking individual who thinks everyone including the viewer is inferior, I wasn't originally planning on it becoming a king but as the piece progressed it just cried out king to me.

Over all, I think I've accomplished my original intent.

Hope you enjoy

Never knew I’d see a pompous puppy! So awesome! Your works are so detailed and you make them look plausible too, it’s great!

You learned well I agree, the pose needs a king.

I'm checking the book out now too

Thank you. It’s a great book; both informative and inspiring.

I'm finding it especially fun trying to make Human emotions work on an Anthro’s facial structure, it’s a wonderful challenge.

That's been a challenge for me as well. In the last month I finally worked out how to draw a horses profile good enough to suit me (which isn't easy and anthropomorphizing it has been a big challenge. I'm studying the muscularity, skin, fur and skeleton of the horse head to see if I could do something. Your book may be a big help too . I can't wait to see what you come up with.
