My chocolate lab puppy (Leia)

 

I have been working on this portrait on and off for months. It's hard to draw a pet who is practically like a daughter to me! Started when she was about this size right after Christmas and finally got myself to finish it. I drew her collar to show how small she was back then, She is now 9 months old and has grown a lot! Now I want to find another picture of her to draw to show how much she has grown.

Portrait based on this photo.

Jack Russell Terrier (Moxie)

11x14. Pencil.

Drawn as a commission for some friends. From this reference photo(below). Was one of their only photos of Moxie as a puppy and they obviously didn't like the quality of the blue photo.
