There’s something special about creating a piece that feels warm, welcoming, and full of personality. My newest illustration, the Gentle Guardian Pup, is exactly that—a soft, cartoon-style Swiss Shepherd with a bright spirit and a friendly smile. This artwork was a joy to bring to life, and today I’m excited to share not only the finished piece, but also the drawing video that shows how it all came together.
