Grady, finished

I think I'm going to call this one finished. I've darkened the middle of the mouth, the nostrils and the right ear, but otherwise it's not much different from stage 3. There's lots more that I could do to it, but I think not without changing it into a completely different style of drawing. Those of you who were kind enough to comment and said you liked dog drawings, you owe it to yourself to check out Mike Sibley. Now there is a real master of realistic graphite drawing! But I'm quite happy with my drawing; I think it captures the personality of the dog. I'm really going to have to practice those noses, though!! Thanks again for the advice and encouragement.
