'Trixie'

​

This lovely, cheeky Spaniel cross, Trixie, was a rescue dog from Yorkshire Rescue.

​

This was such an interesting tutorial, using mostly black pencils, which made getting the lights and darks just right so important. It was all about carefully building up those tones to bring Trixie's expression to life. 

​

I really enjoyed seeing her emerge from the page!
