Beautiful Pippin.

When I saw a photo of this sweet shiny-nosed, bright-eyed dog, I felt I had to draw her. She is so pretty, with incredible velvety ears and obviously so well-loved. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to draw her. 

It is always a challenge to capture the sweet nature of each dog. I chose black pastel paper with an initial white pastel pencil outline. I spent a lot of time drawing the eyes and nose and coloured them in first as I felt they were essential to get right in order to illuminate her loveliness
