This darling little dog was a joy to draw - such a sweet little appealing face, which makes my job so much easier. :)

Very very sweet - it's a look that says "Yes, I'll have my pat now thank you".

I really love the sheen on Bella's coat along her flanks - just beautiful.

Cheers,

Cindy

Karen, the eyes are beautifully done, highlights and all. Do you add white pencil or simply allow the film surface to be the lightest part?

Unknown said...

I love it, what a great expression Karen, well done!

Thank you all Dors, Cindy, Mona and Sam - I can't tell you how much I appreciate you all stopping by and leaving your wonderful comments!!!
Mona, I usually try to leave the film blank - I find it gives a whiter white than applying white.
