This is incredible, I thought it was a b&w photo! What a gorgeous rendering of your beloved Luca, I especially love those fantastic eyes that look as though they could see deep within ones soul. incredible texture in Luca's fur, I feel like I could reach out and feel the softness of your dogs coat. What a superb image for this contest, sorry I can't give you more than a 6 as this truly deserves a higher rating, best wishes to you!

I had to read the description twice to have it sink in that this was a drawing. You have captured a perfect photographic quality in this post. The eyes are so lifelike and even his muzzle and whiskers are crisp. The DOF has the muzzle reaching out to be petted. Outstanding work.

Beautifully done! Your work is incredibly realistic with the soulful expression in his eyes and intent perk of his ears. Lovely composition with excellent colors, tones and exquisite lighting. Best wishes for the contest!

Wow, is this really a drawing? It looks so much like a photo I'm stunned! What medium did you use?
The dog's eyes are so realistic, as is the hair.
I'm impressed!

This is a very well produced pet capture in both demonstrated technical skill with a camera and artistic talent.

The tight portrait framing of Luca is pleasing to the viewers eye. Every dog just like humans has their own unique look driven by their personality and you got this one pegged - superb timing for this take.

The B&W suits Luca, you can plainly see a bright and vibrant companion.

This is a really fine entry and I hope you do well ... Bob

Oh my goodness! This is stunning. I thought it was a photograph and had to do a double and triple take. I can't believe how lifelike this is. And such a beautiful subject! Well done!

Luca is a truly lovely dog, and you have pictured him so well. Especially the eyes are well done, and you have also brought out so well the fine textures of the fur. I also like that this drawing is done in black and white.

This is of course also done paying a very good attention to even the smallest details, and with good use of high lights.

The format and framing is perfect, and Luca is well placed within the frame. Truly beautiful work, and I wish you luck with the contest.
