No, I don't. I drew it from a photo of a friend's boxer. He was a fantastic dog.

Absolutely amazing you did this with colored pencils! He's just so shiney and the black part is gorgeous and so dark, a wonderful portrait all together!
The only suggestion I could think of is this little bit of background you've drawn on the dog's left side (for the viewer); I think the color is ok but the contrast is too little.

Your critiques are right in line with my own opinion of this piece. I drew it a great many years ago, when I was still most focused on rendering skills. After that I took my art and ran in a completely different direction, focusing more on very strong lighting contrasts. I'm also still very much working on my compositional techniques.

Yes I saw that you pay a lot of attention to lighting, nice to know that you agree with my thoughts about your drawing. It's still very well done though!!

It was a few years ago, so I would guess about twenty hours. I'm much faster now, but it would still probably take about 12 hours to do something this detailed, this size.
