    FYI-The jelly pens are not archival, you could end up with yellowed highlights all over your drawings in a year or so. You don’t want that to happen if it was a commission piece.

I am actually under charging if we are going by minimum wage - £10 x by 13 hours it took me to do a drawing should be charging £130 for it, but people won't even buy it at the £100 I have them up (new price to what I had them at) which was £50 and even then I wasn't getting many sells, and someone told me recently that I was over charging for them now, and should put them down to £60 which I did that my drawing per hour would only be £4

    Hi Grace, I am a VERY early beginner in graphite. I want so bad to learn to draw pets and people. I thought I would start with my husbands GSP. I have searched and searched for a drawing tutorial on a GSP. I finally stumbled on your channel while watching another artist. When I saw the picture of this dog I almost screamed in delight 😊. The fur on a GSP is so different than other dogs because the hair is so short and all the spots. I have practiced the fur in so many different ways but it just didn’t look right. You explained the stroke so well and how to get the white in as well as their dark spots. I can’t wait to try it. I would love it if you could do another one that shows more of the body. I want to do a drawing for my daughter who now has my Piper Jo. I moved after my husband passed and didn’t have anywhere for her to burn off all of her energy. She is a BEAUTIFUL dog. I want so bad to do her justice. I hope to see many more of your tutorials in the future. Your work is AMAZING!!!! This dog is just as beautiful 😍

  • @sayusayme7729
