Up Next: Preparing for Bark in the Park.  Still planning on seeing all of you there.  ALL OF YOU.  After that I do plan on drawing my youngest beagle mix since she is the last of 6 dogs in my family and she is the only one that hasn't been drawn yet.  Poor Scout.

I also plan on starting story-based drawings that form the narrative through panels.  Basically the same design as comic books, but drawn far less awesomely since I am not Jim Lee.  Maybe some day.  The series has the working title of Couple's Counseling for now, but it could still change.  But instead of explaining it further, you'll just have to wait and see it.  Maybe for a while if I break out my tablet to learn how to color with photoshop.

Until next time! Lauren H.
