Siberian Husky Pet Portrait Drawing in Pencil

I can breathe a little easier now that this "rush" commission has been completed and shipped to the client all the way to Kentucky!  I don't like rushing but sometimes, I have to discipline myself and spend more hours in the studio...and put the do not disturb sign on the door!
