Description Drawn using Polychromos pencils and Gamsol solvent for blending at the end. I’ll get dimensions and date of completion soon. It’s a rather small drawing

Thank you! Not really, however I’m happy to take helpful advice to improve So long as it isn’t harsh, I’ve only started coloured pencil drawings this year, and the Goldie was my latest haha. I’m aware I’ve got a load to learn, so tips are definitely appreciated if you’d like

Ok, late but better than never, right?


First off, I love how you did the fur. The texture is really nice and it looks super fluffy.


Unfortunately, the dogs head seems a little flat at the top here. I can see a very faint line running above the eye though so I am guessing it is there but does not stand out enough from the background.

My suggestion with traditional art would always be to scan it and tweek the scan enough to show the actual contrast and colors.


The anatomy of the butterfly is very realistic, btw. It looks like you put some effort into it.
