Description This is Gus, the collie, a commission piece.

I've used Caran d'Ache Supracolor soft pencils on A4 cartridge paper.

Time taken approx 8 hours...well it's only A4

Wow, I applaud your use of coloring pencils on this amazing work of art. Sadly, my coloring pencil techniques aren't as astonishing as yours. Hopefully one day I will match your skill. Great job!

RTyson In reply to Skipychic [2007-05-03 16:16:22 +0000 UTC]

Thanks very much

I can do a Staffy, if I'm commissioned but I tend not to do pets 'just for fun' anymore.

Thanks very much!! aww it's so sad when they go...I'm glad you had him for many years tho'...my dog died last year aged only 4...I felt robbed.

Orchid-Black In reply to RTyson [2007-03-31 07:37:48 +0000 UTC]

My sympathies to you. Ours left us last year, as well. It does feel like being robbed when they leave us at such a young age.

donnaquinn [2007-03-10 04:04:44 +0000 UTC]

It's awesome. Sooo awesome, and made even better by the fact that I haven't seen a doggie picture from you in a long time and by the fact that my sister got a malamute pup three weeks ago and the little bugger is biting my legs a lot. @_@ So I have a love-hate thing about dogs at the moment. Mainly love.

Aaaanyway:
Ruth, it's gorgeous. And although this is out of your control, Gus is a great name for a border collie. The eyes are huge and wet, and... wow, the lighting on the nose!

Thanks Donna! awww a Malamute pup, it'll just be a little ball of fluff with teeth at the moment then will it?

oh btw I featured you in my journal 'old' friend.
