Just something I did for fun with fur. Graphite on Bristol Vellum. Image size about 8.5 X 8.5 inches. 15-20 hours.

Thanks for peeking.

:wow: Wow! I'm amazed that this doesn't have hundreds of comments on it already!
This is absolutly beautiful. The fur is so nicely textured. I love the wavyness of it and how realistic it is. The way that it doesn't all flow in one direction is very natural looking. The tone variation and the way some areas have picked up the light is really eye catching. I also like how the fur seems to stand up ontop of the dogs head :aww:
The anatomy of the dogs face and shoulders is spot on. It adds to the realism of the peice. I think it's wonderful how well you've encorporated the markings of the dog in with the tones and light variations. I know that it's something i would struggle to do half as well as this.
And i really do love how you've drawn the collar and dog tag. The writing on the tag looks so realistic, like a real engraving. :)
