Your animal sketches are really quite good, You are managing to catch a personality in each portrait. Watch for 'hard' lines within the features.

Artist Reply: Thank you very much my friend : ) This portrait is a little older, i think I have gotten better with the 'hard lines' I enjoy you work by the way : )

Very nice tribute! I like to go for the eyes first too!

I'm speechless! The first time you drew a doggy like this?? It's fantastic! (and I can imagine that his owner misses him very much. )

This is adorable, Leah, white fur is so difficult but you've made it look easy. Love the expression in his eyes. Most excellent pencil work!! LouAnn

I like most of your animal portraits, but this is my favourite, if you have captured the true character of this little dog, then I can imagine he was full of a very gentle kind of miscief; I firmly believe that animals - dogs in particular - do have a well developed sense of humour, in this little sweetie it can be clearly seen. I lost my dear companion of over sixteen years just five weeks ago; I do wish that I had the special talent needed to capture the essence of him in a painting.
