Tess

Tess
This is a drawing of my old dog, Tess.  She didn't actually look like this, but you get the idea.  First, I drew all of the dog with an HB pencil, and then I gradually used darker pencils finishing with a graphite pencil which I used for the eyes.  I then used pastels for the background.  I wanted this drawing to mainly focus on the principle of emphasis.  I did want the background to pop, but the dog is meant to be the focal point.
