Pet Portrait: Diesel and Oakley the Boxers

Some of you may be thinking, "Geez, Lauren, you sure like to draw boxers!" Well technically this is correct because they're pretty adorable, but more accurately I'm just lucky because there is one family out there who really loves their dogs. Does Diesel look familiar to you? Because he should. This is now the third portrait that he's been featured in, along with a rotating cast of siblings. First Roxy, then Dior, now introducing...[drum roll noises]... Oakley!

Random note: Clearly Diesel has a preferred posture and sitting position, because his pose in this drawing is practically identical to his pose in the last portrait.

Up Next: The next drawing is a commissioned surprise/present so I can't really get into the details of what it is. All I'll say is that it involves one of my favorite breeds, the German Shepherd. Don't worry, other breeds, I think you're just as special.

Until next time! Lauren H.
