Return to the Cairn Terrier.

Hi all,
          I don't know about all of you, but time does seem to fly past so quickly these days, or is it just my age ? 2011 is here and to be honest I am glad about that, as I don't believe in looking back too much, going forward into the unknown can be scary, but so rewarding too, so upwards and onwards with my furore into untested new mediums and styles.
          Up above it the Cairn Terrier that I started last year and never completed for various reasons, but I have come back to it,made some subtle changes to the fur colouring by adding in some lighter beige's and a little bit of brown. This picture was done when he was a young pup of about 6 months and his colouring was quite light and you were able to see all these pale tones in his coat, but now he has grown somewhat as has his coat and he is much darker almost black/grey in some parts. Even so the dark bits tend to be on the tips of his coat and around the face,lift it up and look underneath and you will see the light parts. Got to say drawing scruffy/long haired dogs is never easy, short coats tend to be a lot easier, but once this is finished I will be happy with it. Size of this one is 10 x 8 inches on Stonehenge in CPs.
