It's a lot of fun. The eyes were difficult, especially on the Aussie who has those unusual eyes.
Well now I must come back and offer you even more praise. I thought your picture was a printed color photo. Great coloring of the portrait!! I will have to check out the NeoColor II crayons.

love it. I did that with a dog we used to have. I used the same method for texture.
