Well, I really enjoyed this tutorial. I wanted to learn more about the colours used to draw a good black dog. I thought the blues and greys worked beautifully to achieve a great black without being a stark black.Thank you for sharing this tutorial Paul Jones. And I hope you like my version...Jennie B
I have not been able to open this after I downloaded it and saved to my favourites page. Access was denied.Working on IPad Pro 2018, same with TeaTime and grazing horses. So disappointing.

good except i don't have the fancy derwents or swiss pencils
Loved working on this~!
I wasn't too pleased with the instructions of Mr. Jones. Perhaps because I'm new to colored pencils. I didn't like that he used four different brands of colored pencils. Some of his instructions were not detailed and were lacking in my opinion. I did enjoy working on the drawing very much though, but I had to guess on some of his instructions because they weren't clear to me, and in some areas, I drew to my own way of looking at the subject overall. I didn't apply the partial red collar. I didn't understand why it was red when the collar was brown so I colored it all brown. I will not be buying any more tutorials from Mr. Jones.
