This is my first sketch of my first dog - Nelson. He was a 10 years old German Shepherd and a hansome one too. He died sadly soon eight years ago, and I could never cope with that loss. So I drew him, as I see him now.
I used to be an arting maniac, many more people other than myself thought I was very good as well, then I met my now ex-wife and after an almost decade long abusive relationship I came out the other side of it struggling to delve into my artistic outlet.
