Here's my most recent drawing. A buddy in Germany asked me if I'd draw a pic of his dog, who passed away last year.

I said I'd give it a try, so he sent me a pic of it, and I printed it out on my horrible printer. The print was pretty horrible, but I decided to work with it anyway, and waded in swinging.

I tackled the eyes first, since I couldn't make out much detail from the pic, and figured they'd be the most difficult portion of the drawing (I was right). Surprisingly, they turned out very well and didn't take that long.

Overall, I think it turned out well. It's an 8x10, done with pencil (mostly #2 pencil).

Of late, I've done several pet portraits for folks, and they seem to turn out pretty well.

As usual, that is wonderful work, Jim. Someday you will have to show us a pic of your walls. :)

Beautifully done! Whether it be a photograph or drawing, the eyes always make the image what it is. Get them in focus or drawn just right makes all the difference. Thanks for sharing your artwork with us!

I can't add anything to what's already been said. Your drawing is absolutely beautiful.

My Uncle lived in the Superstition Mountains in Arizona. He was quite an artist too and created beautiful pictures in pen and ink.
