Description
Finally done. This is a drawing I did of my chihuahua, Misty. The butterfly was done with prismacolor colored pencils and the rest of the portrait was done in with graphite pencils. I added a bell to her collar instead of a boring ID tag because I thought it might be cuter. I am really happy with the outcome of this. It was my first time leaving everything completely unblended. The only part of the drawing that I did blend was the light cast shadow on the ground. After doing a couple still life drawings, I felt like my eye sight was very tuned in terms of tonal flow and shapes. The message I was trying to convey in the drawing is sometimes it's the little things in life that mean the most. Thank you to everyone who commented on the WIP.12"x18" Fabriano Hotpress

The combination of excellent craftsmanship and humor blended with love for the model,

its stunning. i particularly like the wayyou've described the chi's fur. perhaps one little thing, the butterfly does not look realistic compared to the chi. i like it as there is a good contrast, but perhaps maybe a closer look into butterflies? whatever.. i love it.. and here comes a fav. well done

Thank you. Nope, I didn't do anything with the background. After I put cast shadow down at the bottom, I thought it looked fine as is.

Thank you. Yeah, I'm glad I did the drawing like this. Originally, I was thinking about making the whole drawing in color. But I'm glad I didn't.
