Free pet sketches

I made an offer last week on my DA account to sketch a few people's pets and e-mail them the finished result for free. I hadn't done any sketches in a small while so wanted to get back in the groove of drawing. Plus relatively quick sketches make a great alternative to the slow process that is oil painting.

I've since completed and e-mailed people with the finished sketches and thought I would share them with you.

So here I am working on Ollie the Jack Russell . I like to block the areas in working from dark to light so to avoid smudging the softer pencil markings. As well as sketching Ollie I have also been drawing Scully the German shepherd, and Saffy (tan) and her son Iggy, the staffies. Below are the finished sketches. I hope you like them!
