Yorkshire Terrier Portrait
I have now finished working on Max’s portrait. It was really enjoyable, as Max the yorkshire terrier is so cute in the reference photograph.

Basset Hounds Portrait
This is the final scan of the finished drawing of Jasmine and Daisy – the very cute basset hounds. I really enjoyed working on their dog portrait.
