Pet Portrait: Pip the Border Collie

Pip the Border Collie

I can't believe it has taken me this long to draw a border collie! Well, the previously drawn Dexter is thought to me a lab / border collie mix, but you never know with some rescue dogs. All I know is that they're one of the smartest breeds so they should know to come to me for all their portrait needs! ;) No, but seriously, border collies, learn from Pip and bring me your business.
