Artist's Comments

As the title says, a portret of my dog Sammy. I drew it for my brother because he wanted something to remember her by. She died in january.

I'm not to happy about it, and this is not the usual nitpicking. The highlights on her head looks different from the highlights on the rest of her fur. The highlights on her head took me ages and almost caused sleepless nights. The black part on her jaw looks to dark and weird, allthough it really is there on the ref pic. I like the other drawing I did of her better, see [link]

I might tweek some things about it. If I do, then I will update the newer version.

Coloured pencils on 30x42cm paper, about 10 hours.

That's an AWESOME picture, you're pretty damn talented. I don't see anything wrong with it, but I know why you would, cuz you're the artist, your own critic...sleepless nights, yeah, but they were well worth it right? Awsome!

I do that sometimes, especially with highlights...start out with one style on the head, then unwittingly switch when I get to the body. But to be honest with you, I see absolutely nothing off about this picture...at first, second, third, fourth, etc glance it still looks great! After reading your comment and scrutinizing the drawing, I can see what you mean about how it looks different, but it still looks like it all meshes together! Great job =)

Yea I agree with Lefty, it seems to mesh together fine, from one big self critic to another:)

Yes I know, I shouldnt be so critical. I looked at it again and saw that the highlights look a lot better in real life than on this photograph. Thanks for your sweet comment!
