Mixed Media

This is my Mixed Media artwork of my new french bulldog puppy. I used mostly ink, black charcoal and white charcoal. I chose to draw my dog because I love him and was hoping to give this to my father for Christmas. The background has lots of lines because of the wooden floor. I originally had my dog made with charcoal when I was first drawing the ear, but later decided to use ink since it would be easier and possibly darker. This is why most of my drawing is made out of ink. There isn't really a story/meaning other than my dog. It relates to my life because my dog means a lot to me and has given my family and I lots of happiness. He's become a very big part of my life which is why I knew I wanted to draw him. My father is in love with him which is why I think this would be the perfect Christmas gift. I don't think I would change anything because I am extremely happy with how this turned out. It looks so much like him, and usually my artwork isn't accurate.
