Needs a pat! I can feel that from your work.

I love, love, love this drawing! Do you do commissions from photos? It really shows the demeanor of the Goldens. I love the hair the coloring, the highlights, the eyes and nose. It's beautiful! I wish I had been the one you commissioned this for. Lucky person!

Thank you very much. I am pleased with the outcome. Yes I do these pet commissions from photographs. Animals are not very patient models If you are considering to commission me for one, you can find my e-mail through my website. [link]

Thank you. My best tip for drawing realistic fur is to pay close attention to the direction it grows in.

It's hard, tough.

Its easier when you have a photo reference like I had. I hope to be able to draw realistic animals without having to rely on photographs so much someday.
