This is so good. I like how you didn't use any lines for this and the white just blends in with the background. Love it.

Woooow beautiful! I love the fur right by his throat, it looks very realistic, you really understand how a dog's fur grows from his skin

SAU21866 In reply to sfenley1 [2010-05-25 21:43:44 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much....constant sharpening with my electric pencil sharpener...a pain in the back side really and as you probably know the lead in color pencils are so soft that it is very difficult to keep sharp...so using a quailty sharpener helps alot I use a Panasonic brand and they seem to last forever my old one finally bit the dust a few months ago but I has it since I was 18 and I am 44 now so I am hoping this new one will last me for a very long time LOL

sfenley1 In reply to SAU21866 [2010-05-25 22:30:14 +0000 UTC]

They are soft and I tend to work them too hard, frequently breaking that needle point I worked so hard to get in order to get the darkness I want That's a great recommendation for the Panasonic brand, I'll have to remember that! I just bought a multi-size one because my Derwent watercolor pencils are a tad to big for a regular one so we'll see how it goes. My Xacto one bit the dust awhile back...
