This is my first “real” picture in a long time; I’m usually too lazy and busy to complete a colored, clean-lined, non-sketch. It is my first attempt at drawing a girl with an animal, and also my first attempt at drawing someone sitting indian-style. Although she’s mostly still, my hope was to make the picture come alive through the pup’s kiss and the girl’s emotional reaction. Aside from skimping on a few details and not getting her legs 100% correct, I’m happy with how she turned out. Hopefully, you’ll think it is cute too .

I’ve actually drawn this character before, once in 2003. There are many ways I’ve improved in the past three years, but I think it hardly shows. I need to draw more!

P.S. The puppie is named, “Chocolate Chip.”
