Best Friends-Graphite
This is Aaron and his beloved dog Yeller. It was commissioned by his mother as a Christmas (2007) gift. This was very interesting to do because of the backlight and the sunglasses and that bandana! Aaron is a major award-winning bronze sculptor and master taxidermist. I had been drawing for a year. Sheesh! 14X17.
Best Friends-Graphite belongs to the following groups:
1 on 1: The Fine Art of Portraiture , All Pets Great and Small, Mans Best Friend's (Dogs only), Pencil Drawing (2 per 24 hrs) and Realist Traditional Art

Thanks for your very kind comments about my work “The Budding Artist”. It’s much appreciated! You say that my work is the kind of style you aspire to…....but when I see you work, I would say the same thing!!! I’m striving for greater finesse and detail, such as your work has! This is a truly stunning piece and I very much admire the exquisite realism you have achieved here!
