Day 3 - AEDM & Nablopomo - #34 sketch

YAWN!!! 
I'm feeling quite tired for some reason 
and it's only early evening. 

Last night, we had an overnight guest. 
My son, Beau, and his house-mate, Steven,
were attending a house-warming party 
and had planned to stay overnight. 
So, Steven's dog came to stay with us for the night.
She is a German Shepherd/American Staffy Mix, 
if I remember rightly, and she is SO sweet!

Unfortunately, we had to keep her separated from our fur-boys. 
All she wanted to do was play with them but, 
Cody gave her a wide berth and, 
Jack refuses to tolerate other dogs on his turf
and Lexi was no exception. 
He wanted to have her for dinner!! 
Too funny being that she's more than twice his size.

Anywhoo, Lexi became sketch #34 of 75 pen/ink sketches.

Let me state right here and now that 
I haven't done this beautiful girl justice.
In reality, she is slimmer in the cheek areas of her face. 

Pencil-free sketch in A6 Moleskine pocket sketchbook 
using ZIG Millennium and Micron pens.

Despite my tiredness, 
we are planning a movie night and, 
no doubt, I'll fall asleep at the crucial point.
Just love it when that happens...NOT!

Enjoy your weekend!

~ Love, light and peace ~

  11. aw ... Lexi is a cutie! Love the one flopped ear, which she probably gets from her AmStaff dna, the upright from her Shepherd dna.
