This is a memorial piece for my dog, Gripper. I’m very happy with how it turned out.

    Thank you so much!!! I have a bit of an odd process. Usually i just eyeball the sketch, but because of the size of this drawing i used the grid method. I then look for kind of a natural chunk/area to start shading. On the horses i do it’s generally the nose, however for this drawing i just went square by square because it was a grid. I then use a 6B (the only pencil i use for the entire drawing) and lightly shade the area I’m working on, to the point where its about a medium gray. I use a blending stick to smooth, and then go back over and lay in the dark parts and shadows (and blend again). Then i will use a kneaded eraser for the light areas and a regular eraser for the sharp highlights. I generally completely finish an area before moving onto the next one. Hope this helps :)
