After yesterdays feeling of self doubt, I decided that I had to re-visit Oliver's portrait again. This time I attacked the drawing very carefully. Sketching on tracing paper, working out all the bugs before I transferred the drawing to mi-tientes drawing paper. I did a color swatch of Oliver's fur, which helped me rendered this drawing. I am now pleased with the way he turned out.
Lesson learned...there are no short cuts!

Have you seen David Hockney’s lovely little book of his dachshund paintings? This reminds me of those.
Hi Julie,
Thanks for the wonderful compliment. I had to google David Hockney's pet books and when I saw the cover I immediately knew who you were talking about.
