SAFFi the DOGGY

Normally when I get asked to do a Commission I say No, I think it’s due to Fear, but when Nikki emailed asking if I would do a Drawing of her lil doggy Saffi, something inside of me said Yes; I’m glad it did, because I enjoyed this one.

As is always the case when I ‘finish’ a drawing, there’s always bits I wish I could do better, but I’ve learnt that part of the drawing process is being able to let go, and accept when something is good enough.

Saffi Became Like A Puzzle. She had sections which were Dark on Light, while at the same time being in front of even darker sections. Trying to work out how to draw this was like something out of the video game Portal, I found it really Satisfying.

This drawing’s now in it’s new home; Nikki messaged me to say she really liked it, hopefully Saffi does too :)
