Henry - latest commission

This is Henry, who has sadly crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. He looks such a delightful little terrier, just look at the devotion in those eyes. He is sorely missed and I hope this portrait will bring back some happy memories to his owners.

Size A4
Support: Dark brown Colourfix paper
Pencils: Derwent, Faber Castells Polychromos and Prismacolour.
