Bob's aunt has a funny little black poodle. Today's sketch is a preparatory drawing for a painting I am creating for Christmas. (I am a big fan of handmade gifts!)
Please be sure to stop by Sophia's blog to see what some of my friends have been sketching this week.
(I'll be visiting tonight because I'm heading out for a ride on the Polar Express!)
