Dixie & Zoe

Yesterday I delivered this portrait of Dixie and Zoe to my friend. She commissioned it for her boyfriend as a birthday gift. They both loved it :-)
I also met both doggies for the first time in person. They are so sweet and playful! Exactly like on the portrait, both laughing all the time.
Dixie is black labrador and Zoe is pitt bull.

These are reference photos I used. I got tons of them, so it was easy to choose the ones where they both laugh a lot :-)

Here is just a fast sketch on the paper:
