Australian Shepherd WIP11

Thank you so much for taking a look at my pencil drawing work in progress! My drawing is nearly done, I just have to add details to the final patch of leaves. I wanted to post one last work in progress picture because I have made a few changes and added a bit since the last one. It amazes me how taking just a bit of time away from a drawing can make you see things that you hadn't noticed before. In addition to sketching the last of the leaves, I played around with some of the finer details on my dog and I think I was fairly successful in adding a bit more dimension to her body. I'm so excited to see the finished product but I'm trying very hard not to rush it!

This drawing has truly been a journey for me - I have learned so much throughout the process of drawing this over the last three months. I would like to thank you for joining me on this voyage of learning and for all of the comments, encouragement and support the deviantART community has given me throughout this endeavor!
