'Hixxy & Freya' - 2014 - (Drawing)

©2014 *Stevegillettart

Here is a commission drawing that I drew for client for a birthday gift to her husband. I enjoyed the challenge of drawing this picture as it is a mixture of two photos.

My client did not have a good enough quality photo of Hixxy and Freya together so I took two photos and put them together. I picked the photo of Hixxy so it would look like he is coming from behind the chair that Fraya is sitting on. I hope it works?

Hixxy by the way is a Shar Pei breed of dog. I've been hoping to draw this breed for awhile now.

If you have any questions about this or any of my other drawings then feel free to ask.
