This is a great work of art. The eye for the details, the color coordination, the body language and the facial expressions along with the dedication to the presentation are all perfect. And done with graphite and colored pencils makes it even more amazing. Now the one thing I noticed was that the small timid dog is not looking at the subject that is intimidating him..
Very small detail, so very awesome art work.

    Thanks Valenteana. Very observant of you with the eyes. Perhaps I could cover myself and say his eyes were darting back and forth in fear and I caught him just as he looked away? :) Thanks once again for reviewing this! R

Nice drawing. Like the vivid colors, the detail in the dogs right down to the leashes. The only thing for me is the angle of the wall as if it is falling over, otherwise, well done and GL in contest. HAGD.

    Thanks HAGD. The angle of the wall is deliberate and it was to make this look like an incidental image rather than a manufactured one. Thanks for the review. R

Your work always has so much personality to it,and tells a story of some kind. This is so precious, and I can relate very well to the somebody has my toy! Dogs are well done, especially white and black one. The look on his face is perfectly rendered. Always enjoy your paintings. Good one! Do you work on paper or canvas? From a photograph or memory? Just interested in your creative process! Sarah

    Thanks pattigirl. I work on paper and both from memory and photographs. This was a mix of two photographs with some memory thrown in. R

Raoul I love the detail and the expression on this little dog. I am an animal lover and I absolutely love this. You have captured his muscle tone, love the chain you put in the picture. The eye expression and the ears cropped up, I think hes saying to the viewer " hey what just happened here." You have captured a true feeling on the little dog and the bigger dog with victory. Excellent drawing one of my favorites.
