This original pencil drawing was a birthday commission from a thoughtful boyfriend to the owner of this funny character. It is one of my favourite canine portraits to date.
haha, sometimes creating art is its own payment! amazingly detailed work! you captured this dog's spirit, I'll tell you that! A+
Artist Reply: Thank you for your kind words. I was thrilled and a little bit sad to receive a cheque for the balance of this commission two days ago and I delivered it today! Okay, mostly thrilled. I kept a good quality copy for my portfolio, too.
You did an amazing job on this one. Sometimes it's nice to keep some for yourself anyway! I love the expression in his eyes... good ole dog. Your technique is perfect.
This is great! It would be wonderful to keep, and at least you got paid for half. I bet if you tracked down the girlfriend she would love to buy it from you!!
Artist Reply: Thanks Diana. I'm thinking of hanging it in a local vet office or pet store in the hopes of drumming up more business...
