Description
This original drawing is for sale on Etsy! ----> [link]The Prismacolor Colorless Blender is the greatest thing since canned dog food.
I went through periods of love and hate with this drawing. The sketch started out awful and I almost trashed it, but I liked the paw. I picked it up and started to ink it and I really liked it. Once I got to coloring the grass, I was ready to throw it away again. But now that I see it finished, I'm pretty happy with it.
If anyone's interested in a commission of their pet in this style, please leave a message or send me a note!

Wow this is a really awesome picture!!! You have great talent. This drawing reminds me of my border collie that plays Frisbee. Border Collies rock, and you did a great job portraying their personality.

Thank you! I have a rough collie, but she doesn't play frisbee. She just lays around and demands to be waited on. ^^

Yay for Foo Fighters titles. xD
I'm lovin' that tree in the background, and the dog's expression. :3 your traditional art is always so awesome.
I still don't know how to properly use the colorless blender, though... I try to blend, but it just over-saturates the colors and makes everything look worse. >>

I love that song. Thanks, Chloe!
When I use the blender, I just scribble around in the general shape of the object. If you press too hard, it lifts up color and leaves funny streak marks.

Thanks! I'd pretty much decided that grass was the enemy of all things good and decent in the world. ^^

I love the pose and the expression. The prismacolor pencils look like they would be worth buying XD

Thank you!
They're wonderful. The only problem is they get a bit expensive. But they're wax based and blend really easily, so you only need a few to get really cool results.

awesome! Thanks for the info. Yeah, I've seen packs for eight at like... fifteen bucks! I need to save money to buy some XD

Your best bet is to buy as big a pack as you can afford. That's the cheapest they come. 48 of them from open stock is like twice the price of the 48 pack.

wow! I'll try to save up my money so I can buy them
