Original Drawing - "Abbey" Chihuahua/Yorkie Cross

in #drawing7 years ago


Greetings fellow Steemians! Look at this sweet bundle of puppy cuteness, meet fur baby "Abbey". Who can resist those puppy dog eyes! Abbey belongs to a friend of mine, that I've known since my teenage years, she was feeling a little lonely since her kids grew up and moved away. Although not a replacement for the kids, Abbey has brought a great deal of joy to her human parents, so much so that Abbey has another little Chihuahua Cross named "Buddy" for her little brother. One thing is clear, these little dogs have a whole lot of love to give! Everyone should have a dog in their life.



I began this drawing on January 9th. I am working on an Ipad Pro with the Apple Pencil, using the app procreate.



Still looking pretty rough at this stage. I find that I get frustrated working on the same drawing, so I have several on the go. I have a drawing in the works for @jcedwards, her lovely Thomas Cat, coming soon!



Eye's don't look right, toy in the photo is upside down, I think it needs a little fixing.



Down to the finishing touches!

P.S. If anyone has a highly detailed photo of their dog, I would love to draw him/her for you and make a post like this. Feel free to message me or leave a link to your image in the comments.

Amazing work! It's great to see the process in every picture :) Cute puppy!

Wow! Nice drawing from @braveheart29.

Dogs are so alluring in nature, with their irresistible beautiful eyes. I really love dogs and I thank you for sharing this amazing work with us.
Upvoted and followed as I can't wait to see your next post. I'm hoping you do the same in return.

Thanks and regards!

Thank you very much! I saw your painting, lovely!

Oh my goodness, how adorable is she! I love that you were able to reposition the little bear - it looks like Abbey is whispering secrets! I can't wait to see what you do with Thomas Cat! You have so much talent!

I am a little stuck with Thomas Cat, he’s at that awkward stage at the moment. Thank you for your kind words!

No rush, no stress (no pressure, lol) - I know you will succeed! xox

Thank you for your patience! I really don’t do well with stress.

This one is my favorite of all! :D
Not so much because of the dog, or the teddybear...
But because I feel like you've put more of yourself in it.
You're giving us more than what the picture is. You've altered the picture and given us your perception of it. You've turned the teddy bear around, made less of the dog's mouth show, ...
Love it! ;D

Thank you my friend! Your words of encouragement keep me going! I did put probably about 30 hours into this!

It shows. :D
And I mean that in a very good way! :D
