I finished the Sharpei today. What a fun drawing to work on with all those wrinkles and bristly hairs to work in. Working on it reminded me of the first time I held one of those dogs. I had only seen photos before and when the puppy came into the shop I thought it would be all soft and cuddly. My reaction to scooping it up for its bath was....eeeeuuuuuwwww. There does not seem to be a direction to pet this type of dog that is not prickly. Very special indeed.
