My boy, Brix
Brix is one of my most favorite drawing subjects. He's four years old, a labrador/golden retriever cross. I raised him from eight weeks as a Canine Companion for Independence puppy but he was clear from the get-go that he didn't want to be a service dog, he wanted to be the boss and he wanted to cuddle all day, not work. The professional trainers got the message so he was released from the program at 23 months and has been our beloved family pet ever since. He sleeps a lot giving me a real chance to draw some basic contours before he shifts position again. Here I used watercolor pencils, a Micron .5 pen and my faithful Moleskine sketchbook.
very cute!
