My drawing commission is finished and the owner is thrilled – here is Merlin.
Here is a pencil drawing of Merlin the miniature poodle on Fabriano Paper.
Below are a few of MANY unsuccessful photos during our photo shoot for Merlin.
I used an oil pencil and a kneadable eraser. I like the oil pencil for its blackness and the fact you can smudge if you wish and it can to a point be erased if you change your mind. Oh and generally it is not dusty and can be sharpened to a very fine point.
He is very cute and quite boisterous.

Thanks Janette I appreciate your comments.
Wow, this is really great!!! What a cute little doggy!
Thankyou Ann Christina for your comments. Merlin is adorable he is like one of those dyed t-shirts in that he is darker on top and gradually lighter towards the bottom.
What a fabulous portrait! You have really captured Merlin. So happy to hear the receiver was thrilled, and they should be!
Thankyou Sharon, It is always a challenge to take on a portrait so a positive attitude is a good start. It worked.
Lovely work! ~Rita
