Bulls-Eye



I created this pen and wash piece of a Bull Mastiff earlier this year and recently uploaded it as a greeting card with GCU. Yesterday, I discovered a customer had made two bulk orders for him, making him my best selling greeting card to date!

I recognize that expression well - our friend's Bull Mastiff Tula wears that same face. He's beautiful. I can see why your customer wanted copies to send all her friends.

OMG! He is such perfection. Everything you've done with this one adds to the feeling. Which lines are clear, which are only suggested, colour....each choice the right one. Awesome!

Anita, this is amazing!!!! I have to agree with everything seesue said. You can see so much emotion on his face.
I think this may be one of my favorites!!!

Yes! You captured the pup's personality and what is so charismatic about Bull Mastiffs. The washes are exquisitely and masterfully done! I love it!
