The pack of three 😉

Seriously. I've always drawn FOR ME. Even commissions. If you're not enjoying it - stop! Or, in my case, if I knew I wouldn't enjoy it, I never started it

Great advice indeed - it's basically the way I want to approach my way of drawing for myself, to express MY FEELINGS not the others...
I found it difficult to say NO, I'm keep trying

New video?
It'll be on YouTube too later tonight.

I'll follow !!!

I've been improving the fur today.
I did focus on those two lighter dogs, and left the blacky unattended for now.
I wish to improve the light fur details much more...

...but don't try too hard. We used to have a house full of Poms - Jenny bred them at that time. And they do have really fine, soft hair, so too much detail might make the coats look too coarse. By all means push it up a level or two, but I don't think you're too far away from them looking just right.

In any case, you've captured their characters very well, so the hair is incidental.

You might need to use a little artistic licence with the right-hand foot of the Blackie. It's at that awkward angle where the paw flows directly into the leg, so you might have to emphasise the curve at the top of the paw - to stop it looking like a furry stick .

Thank you...

And thank you again

Thank you for mention Mike, but as you know it's just at that stage, where you see the fur stick, where I'm just marking the shadow intentionally, to help me distinguish the border separating these dogs...
It's temporary only, just for my personal reference dear friend

I know exactly what you're trying advice...
Too less detail might be not enough, too much detail might be just off...

I wish I could get it just right...
Thank you!

Hey! Welcome back my friend!

In my case, drawing subjects I love has given me a sense of peace and happiness that few other things have. The day I no longer enjoy it will be the day I quit. Just no point, you know what I mean ? I love what Mike said. He’s working twice as hard now and loving what he does.

Also agree that the white pom’s are looking close to finished in my eyes.

Thank you my always supporting me friend
Yes, Mike is to me like a working machine - he never stops !!!
I wish I was the same !!!
Yes, I got lost within working bad habit ...
Money money money ...
I could afford many expensive things, but I lost myself at same time.
That was the longest breake I've ever went through!
It feels terrible
Lol.
Thank you for kind words Laurene

[PogArtTi]

Slowly slowly, but eventually getting there

[PogArtTi]

Bit by bit - getting forward every time I can
I know, that even a little steps will get me there eventually

[Laurene]

Ah! The eyes make such a difference! They’re looking at me now!

[PogArtTi]

They’re looking at me now!

I am SO SORRY (lol ), I'll never change my bad habit of drawing eyes as the LAST thing
I keep promise myself - do eyes first!
