Pet Portrait: Reagan the Beagle Mix, Revisited
This past summer, my shadow, Reagan, turned 10 years old. To commemorate the occasion I decided to do a then and now portrait of her, though I suppose she was much more excited about the cake she got from Three Dog Bakery than the drawing. (Don’t worry, I didn’t let her eat that whole thing in one go. And she had to share it with her sister. Begrudgingly.)
This is actually the second portrait I’ve drawn of her. To see the previous one from 2013, click here.
Original Photos: This puppy photo of Reagan from the week we adopted her will forever be my favorite photo of her. Her coloration has changed a lot over the past 10 years, but one thing that is still going strong is how photogenic she is!
