💕🐾 Meet Atlas 🐾💕
Atlas is a handsome German Long Haired Pointer. I’m told he is a big softie but his nickname is ‘Doofus’ as he can be a little goofy 😆. Despite being 37kg his 2 year old family member can walk him round the garden on a lead. Such a good boy 💗.
I thoroughly enjoyed working on his portrait. I always love capturing curls and the brown tones were lovely to layer.

A little close up showing some more of the details :).
New sharpener!
I have a new pastel pencil sharpener coming today… Hopefully! Until now I have used just a blade to get a rough point and then sand paper so file down to a sharper point. I haven’t had any luck with sharpeners when it comes to my pastel pencils but this one has come highly recommended. If it works I’ll make a blog post here for all the other artists who follow me if they may be having the same issues :). Pastel pencils break reallllyyyyy easily! One of the frustrating things about them and keeping a sharp, fine point. I spend more time sharpening the pencils than drawing I think haha.
