Watercolor Dog Portrait Illustration

I’d like a watercolor-style portrait of my dog on a gray darker gray background. Please paint him without the collar so his neck looks natural and uninterrupted, and aim for a moderately detailed finish—clear features and lively brushwork, but not photo-real. Most important is that you capture a happy, playful expression that feels true to his personality. Once we begin, I’ll send a reference photo. I’m happy whether you work in Procreate, Photoshop or traditional media scanned at 300 dpi; just be sure the colours stay vibrant against the white backdrop. Deliverables • Quick sketch or rough layout for approval • Final watercolor portrait, collar removed, white background • High-resolution PNG (minimum 300 dpi, A3 size) and the layered source file (PSD, Procreate, or equivalent) Let me know your estimated turnaround time and any questions you have about the reference images.
