Too cute! Charlie looks like an absolutely adorable dog. His expression is full of life and happiness. I think your work on the fur looks realistic and the colors are blended nicely. He looks like a long haired miniature doxie to me. The pose is really cute too.

Excellent choice of subject.

Fine facial features & fluffy textures...
Superb eye clarity.
Dichromatic rendition...

Thank you for your five vote and your comments. I laugh daily at Charlie. First laugh is usually around five in the morning when he sticks his nose on mine.

Carl,
A wonderful living & breathing picture of Charlie his eye sparkling & fixed on you as he watches your every move & a "smile" exposes his beautiful white teeth...I suspect his tail it also wagging behind home as he rises up on his hind legs begging for that treat you carry in your pocket.... Created with very skilful draftsmanship beautiful choice blending & application of your colours. Juno~Dog sends greetings.
Susan

Thank you for your five vote and your comments. I assume Juno-Dog is your little furry treasure. They really are such little delightful and attentive companions. I laugh daily at Charlie. First laugh is usually around five in the morning when he sticks his nose on mine.

Carl,
Yes Juno~Dog is my four legged companion with her silky velvet like coat & big brown eyes who knows not where she came from until I rescued her from The Dog pound aged just six weeks old..13years ago.

Hi Carl

This is an excellent depiction of this dog's expression. His delight radiates right off the page to infect the viewer. Excellent work, sir and all the best in the contest. R

Thank you for your five star vote and comments. Yes, I am so glad I got Charlie. It took him 14 days and 14 long, long nights to decide that he wanted to be a member of his new pack.

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan
What an expression! He looks so pleased to pose! This drawing is very well rendered. Lovely smooth lines. Fineness of the features well drawn.The shading is just fine. Overall a very good effort.

Ha! A Great rendering of Charlie. I like that look he is giving. They are always so unconditional with affection. We have a rescue dog as well and I guess we are meant to make their lives pleasant as long as we have them. Great work here Carl ~ Steve
