I was at a family gathering last night, and there was a dog there. The dog’s name was Duchess, and she looked like this:

Yeah, she was one of those Ewok-faced dogs, who’s breed I can’t remember the name of. Despite the fact that I’d expect a dog named “Duchess” to most likely be pretty snappy and mean, she was quite friendly.

It was rare that I was able to draw a dog while they were awake. Usually, when I’m trying to draw a dog from real life, they move around too much from place to place to get a good drawing, unless they’re sleeping. I have quite a few drawings of sleeping dogs, and it’s nice to have an awake one as a model for a change.
