I saw a photo of a dog playing in the water on a beach in the WetCanvas reference pics and fell in love with his face.I took him from the beach and placed him in more of a Tennessee setting, with river water and a mountain in the background.One thing I can say about this drawing is it has been a learning experience.I have tried to get the scan as close to the original as possible but it is hard to determine color and tone online.Thank you for looking.
