Drawing a dog's eye with coloured pencil from a poor photo 

This is wonderful! I bet you could make a whole series of videos about ways to make bad reference photos work, since it pretty much comes with the territory. Thanks Bonny!

You are a true life saver! I have just started selling pet portraits from photos over the last 6 months, the amount of people that give me photos where I can't see the eyes!! OMG it's frustrating! I'm self taught & your tutorials have helped me improve so much. Thank you!!

Thank you for sharing, Bonnie!! This is SO appreciated!!!!! :-D

I love your channel!!! just found it :) I really love that you make in depth tutorials. There are a lot of time lapses of realistic drawings, but not so many tutorials of realistic drawings. I feel like your video's are really helpful. I'm always trying to improve my art, now I really want practice drawing more realistic. I'm pretty young, so I haven't completely found my exact style, but I feel like practicing realism is one of the best ways of improving my skill level. That's because there's a ton of basics in realism like shadows, proportions, and highlights. You can always change your art style afterwards.

Amazing again. Thank you Bonny.

Thank you so much. This was great. I'm new to dog portraits and have just been casually offering to do friends dogs but often get a really bad cell phone pic. I've been making changes but I feel like now you've given me permission. 😉 I've been following you on Instagram and love your work!

Very helpful Bonny! I just got a new doggie, who has amazingly expressive eyes, so when I end up drawing him, I can use himself as a reference (if he will sit still long enough! ). Thank you!

This will help me a lot, thanks!

First animal eye ive ever tried to draw, was a trainwreck, your eye is completely different from the reference, made it very confusing, guess i should have just picked one instead of get caught between the two. Think i'll try something easier.

Beautifull eye Bonny better than the photo

Hi Bonny. Thank you so much for this video. It has been a great help! I was wondering how you deal with the kind of photographs where the dog's eyes are just completely black, and you cannot find any highlights in it?
