Next I draw in the color on the dog nearest to the top, Maggie.  Her mom says she was as smart and sweet as she was beautiful !  I draw in thousands of short, tiny pencil lines representing the fur of the Rottweiler, all the while paying attention to which direction the fur is going in. Highlights on her fur are drawn in next for dimension and realism.

Finally, the second dog Suzie, the Yellow Labrador, is drawn in.  Highlights showing the light shining on the dog's fur are also drawn in.  Eye detail is checked once again before completion. Eyes are the most important feature on an animal showing their unique personality. Shown above is the finished portrait showing both Maggie and Suzie together.
