Puppy proportions can seem really odd with enormous heads, paws and ears, and as always when drawing a puppy I sketched this numerous times before I felt it was accurate. I always prefer to keep to a very loose sketch and leave the detail for later, but with this sketch I made sure to definitely mark where those gorgeous wrinkles were on the head.
I worked through the rest of head and body using Faber Castell Pitt pastel pencils and Unison soft pastel.
The finished portrait measures 12" x 10" / 30 x 25cm.
This portrait was donated to an auction to raise funds for the pointer rescue Apollo's Angels in the UK.
