You have the expression captured perfectly. Loving dogs in the right hands

Superb detail and a great work Russell

Thank you for your positive comments, much appreciated.

Pitbulls get a bad press - because when they do turn, they have immense strength and can do dreadful damage. However - 99 times out of 100, this is a direct result of human stupidity or wickedness: either people have no idea how to handle dogs (any dogs) or they&#39;ve bred them to be fierce and vicious, trained them to be an extension of their own fragile masculinity. <br /><br />Here endeth the First Lesson...<br /><br />This is a lovely drawing of a lovely dog. Even the collar has been finished to a high degree of perfection: it IS detailed, but not photographically so, and you feel you could attach a lead to it!

Lovely drawing

Super portrait, with excellent tonal work. You&#39;ve captured the affectionate, playful side of the pitbull, qualities not often associated with the breed but, having met a couple, I can attest that they&#39;re quite soppy and you&#39;ve conveyed that expertly!

Thank you very much Robert, Glennis and Seok, very kind of you. I couldn&#39;t agree with you more Robert with regards to the &#39;bad press&#39; associated with this breed of dog. Just a couple of weeks ago I was sat in a pub having a quiet pint when in walked a man and his pitbull. The dog, called Big Dave, proceeded to sit next to me and was absolutely gorgeous, a right softie!

impressive drawing!
