Pet Portrait: Sherly The English Shepherd Mix

Sherly

Remember Dexter? No not the Showtime serial killer, the dog I drew earlier! He's the one without a murderous bone in his body. At least I don't think so; you can never really trust a Chicago sports fan... But just in case you don't have a photographic memory in concern to all the portraits I've done, you can get a reminder of who he is here. Seeing as he's most likely a lab/border collie mix, it was only a matter of time before his owner would need to find help from an in house buddy when it comes to energy drainage. That's where Sherly comes in. Granted she could just act as a catalyst to up his playful personality. How's that working out for you, Caitlin?

Time Spent: 17 hours and 9 minutes

Up Next:  I have one more commission lined up of a previous portrait repeater. Someone really loves their boxers! But before I get to that it's time to focus on my drawing for Stray Rescue's Urban Wanderers. More details on that later!

Until next time! Lauren H.
