Joey

A close friend recently lost their family pet, Joey. As a tribute gift, I did his portrait. I usually just draw people, so this presented quite the challenge for me. I have never attempted to draw animals/pets. Bic4 Ballpoint Pen, Sanrio Novelty 10 Colour Ballpoint Pen on Archival 8.5" x 11" paper

Incredible work on the fur.

@arthurkoestler Thank you! That was the first time I've ever attempted to draw fur. I usually have a hard enough time drawing hair and hairstyles.

What a lovely drawing, beautiful dog, and thoughtful gift. I hope they loved their tribute.

@Ffej Thanks! I felt terrible for my friend having lost her beloved pet - this was my way of honouring his memory and what he meant to her and her family.

@JoerB I have 4 doges and two cats. We just sent our senior kitty to the rainbow bridge. Her name was Pepsi and she was 14 years old, she will be missed very much. They are family
