Don't you find the time passes by so quickly too when sketching? Btw, it turned out great!

Her jowls are much smaller than those of the other dogs, but that may be an illusion. She never wears her dentures and I think her jowls are always tucked up inside her mouth, sort of stuck to her gums.Krista/Rucahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036077085275566499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962804444331994152.post-15547830981827864152012-02-23T14:01:51.925+00:002012-02-23T14:01:51.925+00:00Thanks Laure!Thanks Laure!Krista/Rucahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036077085275566499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962804444331994152.post-27597703515623379832012-02-23T14:00:48.161+00:002012-02-23T14:00:48.161+00:00Elizabeth, I think you're right.

Sketching outdoors is slowly freeing me from that, but get me indoors and I just can't do quick. You achieved some amazing textures in your friend's fur, though -- and I love the colors !
