"Daisy Blue" - In progress 2

As per my assignment, I'm working entirely in black and white. In the reference photo I'm using of Daisy's head, her eyes are looking upward. Carolyn wants Daisy looking straight at you, and I know this breed well enough (even tho I don't know Daisy personally) that I want to capture that "Border Collie intensity" in the eyes. I'm leaving her eyes blank for now, and will concentrate on them last. Eyes are the critical part of every portrait. I'm known for being able to capture the soul in the eyes. (Oh the pressure...)
