Latest Commissions - Ivy and Bo

Ivy
8x10 inches
Graphite and coloured pencil on drafting film
Bo
8x10 inches
Coloured pencils on drafting film

These are two of my commissions from this week. Of the two, believe it or not, Ivy was the easiest to do. Poor old Bo is no longer with us and so I was working from some older, quite fuzzy photos - this is a Christmas present from his Mum to his Dad and so hopefully I have done him justice. He is a Blue Merle Collie cross.

    Thank you so much Akiko - it was a lot more work with the hat and hair but that all adds to the challenge and interest.
