scotish deer hound

i still have quite a bit to do but i think and im not trying to be big headed ,its going to be one of my better pieces . i dont realy know why say 1 out 0f 20 of what i draw stand out from the others as i put just as much passion and time into everything i draw and i always strive to better myself .i would stop drawing i think if i couldnt see an improvement over the years unlike my spelling lol . if you think thats bad you should see my writing with a pen as aposed to a key board .anyway ill let you be the judge you take care people and i hope you enjoy bye bye . i realy apreciate your opinion it means a lot to me .

if you squint it looks finished lol

You have a great talent Nosey, truly a wonderful work of art. I can only draw the curtains. lol

bless ya lol thank you so much

A lovely breed of dog,and yet again you have captured his expression.Many animal portraits look bland with no soul. Skillens friend will love it :))

I love this breed very much and your pastel will be amazing Np :o)

Beautiful...as usual Np...Skillens friend will be over the moon........

thank you so much dont tell everyone lol

Okay..lips are sealed ! Lol

lol good good good

That's lovely that is, it looks a bit like my dog Jake, he's a lurcher deerhound thing. You've got the silkyness of the hair just right.
I like your spelling, it's imaginitive...

youve done it really well.......it looks great...

very impressed NP ...

look great as always.

Thats great Leigh , you are doing a brilliant job as usual , I'm sure Skillens friend will be every bit as happy with her finished result as I am my Ellie ... .. Hope to see you soon .x

ofcourse you will see me again amy i wouldnt have it any other way you know i hold you in high regard and thanx everyone again for your support it means a lot .i guess a deer hound would realy look just like a gray lurcher yet you have me perplexed .my spelling is what most people call rubbish lol i dont realy understand the imaginitive part realy flowery please explain. you could ofcourse just be even more of a nut than me that i find realy hard to believe lol.take care bye for now people xx.

This just gets better Leigh! :~))))))))))xx

Ithink its brill! so talented! keep it up leigh......

I keep coming back for another look lol !

talents to the fore. i can just about draw breath :o)

Well done Leigh...
Excellent artwork. :o)

He does look like one, but smaller, I've put a picture of him in my pictures.
I suppose 'Proper English' wise your spelling is, in fact, rubbish, but I really like the way it bounces merrily along in it's own nice funny careless way, and we can all tell what you are saying- so it doesn't matter what order the letters are in, that's what I think.
x

ow thank you flowery im not a hard person to talk to so i guess that does makes sense . that is the best description of my bad spelling ive ever herd .take care bye for now xx.

He looks fab NP - another masterpeice! Look forward to seeing the finished peice!! I'm still practicing with my pastels - I find backgrounds hard for some reason - think I might try it like you've done next time!!

Brilliant NP

thank you again people . any tips you mite want dont hesitate to ask sid ok xx .

Leigh, I was that chuffed when I saw this that I forgot to press 'like' lol !!

ow thats a good sign then lol.it will be more real when ive done the fine detail . pitty i cant frame it hint hint lol but thats just my selfish side lol skillen.ive only rubbed some pastel in,put the eyes in a bit and run white over it to give me direction though the outline was the importent bit and gets lost a bit with the pastel.hence the white as its a mane colour.saying that im chuffed to bits with it.bye for now skillen and ill keep you updated xx.

It looks real enough to me already! How more real can it get hee hee. I never said you couldn't frame it, I just said I wanted grey lol. I know your hellbent on framing it (you do make me laugh). I'll email you a pic of the type of frame i would like and see if you can match it , what about that lol :~))))))))xx

Brilliant as ever Leigh! lovely dog well captured......... love him

ow thank you skillen youve made me so happy honest and you will have to weight to see it finished to see how real he gets .he will be able to lick your face and bark with a frame on lol .the frame might have to be a blue gray but apart from that it will be perfect.the frame makes the picture and it will be cheaper to.the orangutan and baby is a slightly bigger picture than yours and it cost £25 to frame.add that to the £22.50 delivery and its still 2 thirds at least as cheap as the best i can get done but a lot of framers are more than that.i dont know how he does it or on the otherhand i see other framers for the greedy people they are as he does a very good job and obviously does well out of it . ow im so chuffed you said that skillen.if the frame is a bit blue gray it wont matter as the deer hound is also lol . im colourblind between these 2 colours and i think i told you before its harder to get a gray frame than a blue gray one he told me.thank you to neellan .take care bye for now xx.

Looking great Leigh, Can't wait to see the finished article. I think he's going to look more handsome than the original. Lol.

thank you doc i do hope your well mate . take care bye for now .

Oi Doc Bob, that's our Wallace Wingate yer talkin' about! How could it possibly be more handsome than him lol. :~))

Leigh, now I AM getting excited! and I'm glad I've made you happy lol. As I said it looks soooooooooo good already. Lynda is going to love it, I'm sure. I Love your drawings and I don't know what I expected but the more I look at this, the more I like it. :~)))))))))))))xx

cool makes me happy watch this space or perhaps ill do a part 2 blog of it. i cant weight either . i know i keep saying it but this is going to be one of my best ever dogs ever i believe but time will tell. i cant weight to here what your friend thinks skillen realy i cant.i wish you lived closer or i would deliver it personaly lol .you think im joking .to me its great making people happy with a gift i proberly dont deserve given to me .i was usless at school,i wasted most of my adult life .started drawing seriously 18 years ago . i went to evening classes and here i am.

Yeah do a part 2 :~)). Yes, It's a real shame you can't deliver it personally and I know your not joking lol. You may have wasted a few years but haven't we all? You're sure making up for it now. xx
