A few months ago my wife had the idea of asking our friends to send us photos of their pets - she didn’t explain why - so no pressure on me. We ended up with 14 photos (including 2 pot belly pigs!). These are the first batch. The paper size is 14 x 11 inches and I used a variety of graphite pencils from 2H to 4B

I recently posted a portrait of my silly Jr/Rat Terrier (“Cracker”) in pastels. These are so cute.
