Chihuahua, Pastel Sketch

I'm planing a gift painting of chihuahua dogs and have not ever painted any. I found 3 images in the reference photos on wetcanvas.com and did a sketch in about an hour to try my skill at this. Thank you, CanisLupis for the reference photo for this sketch. Here is the result.

Chihuahua Sketch
about 8 x 10 inches, Pastel on Canson paper

My plan is to do three different dogs in a single frame. The paintings will be 5 x 7 inches, so may be a little harder to do. Hmmm. I am pleased that this looks like my reference, whew. I'll keep you posted on the project.
