Here's how the portrait of Smokey is coming along. I'm taking my time and trying to be more exacting in hopes of creating realism is the piece. It is to be for a friend to give to her father as a gift so I want to do the best that I can. The texture of the fur is coming along as I like...so far so good.

Whoa...I had to set aside the kitten and dog project to begin a commission drawing of Smokey. Here's where I am so far. I working it as a WIP on WC also.

I have a new work in progress. This kitten and dog is being worked on 6x8 smooth Bristol. I have layed in the basics of the kitten and see that I need to work more on creating a more realistic texture for its coat. I think I'll just try to do that before I go any further on the dog.
