Illustration Friday: Impatience


Dogs are the most impatient, but in the best way. There are all those great smells out there, and they can't wait to run and around and investigate them all.

We at my house are impatient too, because we are getting a new puppy. I've been working on a puppy fence (our backyard used to be fenced, but when we built the addition on our house, the fence had to go to get the big equipment in), and the boys are asking me every day, "Has the humane society called yet." We went in last Friday and visited lots of puppies and dogs, and put in an application on one.

I have another dog picture that I started for impatience, but since I had to wait for a wash to dry, I made this little one in the meantime.

  6. Brilliant pen work. Superb cross hatching.

    You've not overdone it with the black either which is easily done.
