Collies

These are a pair of Rough Collies. I wasn't sure of the breed at first but the owner clarified it for me. I always called them Lassie dogs I guess that shows my age   
This commission was for a Christmas present and I almost struggled to get this double portrait delivered in time as it wasn't for a person in the local area. I was initially worried that it wasn't what the commissioner was expecting or if he liked it, but I was reassured that he thought it looked like his individual dogs and not just dogs of that breed. The dog on the right has sadly died and I think that put extra pressure on me to get a good likeness. 
I'm becoming more confident with the prisma pencils now and am enjoying using them for the dog portraits.
