I think we must have used the very same reference photo from NG... LOL what are the odds. You did a fantastic job on it, excellent blending, fur looks so soft.
Nice work. similar to one I did in pastel, and also in scratchart, so I know how difficult it is to capture the image and the feeling of the animal itself. My reference photo was given to me by a photographer from our local newspaper. Your colored pencil work shows great attention to detail without losing the "big picture" values.
OUTSTANDING!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!
TALENT, DEDICATION AND DEVOTION, SERIOUS DISCIPLINE. YOU ARE HONORING THE GIFT GIVEN TO YOU, YOU ARE HONORING THE ARTS.
