Drawing: Sleeping cutie

In this drawing I decided to use colored pencils for a smoother look. Yoshi's eyes are this unique shade of brown which are hard to copy perfectly, but I believe I got them as close as possible without mixing paint colors.

He has so many interesting wrinkles that it takes a little bit longer to get them just so. He is truly a champion Pug in every sense of the word.

The combination of his eye color with the black and white drawing is a unique look that I will continue to try. There are so many fawn pug drawings and not enough black pug drawings out there. Black pugs deserve their share of attention on the Internet. Yoshi is the perfect model to get that achieved.

Drawing: Yoshi

Yoshi is one of my favorite things about living in Central Texas. This pug brings such joy and whimsy to life here. His expressive eyes are unique in that they almost speak volumes in one look.
I have been attempting to capture his expression for a long time and I am finally satisfied with what I have achieved. Enough so that I decided to publish it on my blog.
My drawing ability may still need some refining but as they say "practice makes perfect".

He is a constant companion and has this innate ability to know when I am in need of a cuddle. I can honestly say that is indispensable in my life these days.
He is a show dog, lap dog, and ham in every sense of the word. His AKC grand championship may be 5 points away in their books, but he has been a grand champion since the day I met him.
