Winter's Warm Embrace

I ripped the paper when I was erasing makes me sad.

But anyways! I drew this off of 's gorgeous photograph. It has beautiful contrast, the colours are nuanced, and i wish I could take photographs like that.

look at it here: [link]

So this is the first time that i REALLY drew a dog. i don't like drawing little hairs, so the fur turned out well despite that. I think my biggest problem (before i ripped the paper, now i cant look at the drawing without cringing--it doesnt show here) was drawing the snow. I couldn't just erase the snow b/c my eraser wasnt precise and strong enough.
