Materials: printer paper, mechanical pencil, Derwent drawing pencils, Prismacolour pencils, Lyra blending pencil.

I love how you did the dapples, you made them actually look furry. especially on his belly.

I usually use printer paper. Right now I'm usung a piece of cartridge paper for one of my drawings, but the texture is REALLY grinding my nerves.

Yes I feel really lucky to have found so many people who want to commission me.
Most of my clients are locals who I actually know, I've only had a couple of people show interest online. Most of the people on DA are artists themselves and thus have little money to afford to buy art.
