According to his owner Shadow “was the kindest, happiest dog with a great smile!”
I think we can all agree he really did have the best smile around.

@maxharvey79 Oh! You should try it - it does take longer but the freedom to make more expressive marks and really get stuck in on the details js something I love.

[Paula Pencil Sharpener @PcsIllustration]

This is an example of one of my smaller portraits, these are a challenge for me as I always want to add more detail! Hope you like this one.

@DerrySketcher @BikerScout Awh thank you! That means a lot. I’m feeling very out of touch with drawing lately.

The beginnings of a new portrait. They always look a bit odd at this stage!
