Pet Portrait: Archie the Dachshund

Archie the Dashchund (Colored Pencil - 2014)

I know some people (who are dead inside) get a little annoyed with all the pet photos people post on social media, but I hope it never stops because sometimes I come across the cutest pets that I then stalk until I get the nerve to ask if I can draw it.  Then I pester that person until they tell me yes just so I will go away.  That's how I came to draw the Dachshund, Archie.

Paper Used: Strathmore Premium Recycled Drawing Paper (400 Series) cut to 11×14″.
