Its been a busy week but I managed to finish the pastel portrait of Chico.
I've darkened his fur and smoothed out/softened some of his curls. I've never seen him with his ears raised. I think my concerns about not having his colouring right are based on the fact I'm normally looking down on him and the fur on his back is black/grey. He doesn't have any dark hairs on his face or chest.
Because it will be travelling out to the Canaries with me in hand luggage, I've had to put Chico's portrait into a mount/frame that will fit my cabin bag and the only ones I have in the right size are black/white. I would have preferred to put him in a cream/burgundy mount with a wooden frame but ... if Chico's owner doesn't like the colour scheme he can change the frame later.

Looking at it on the screen, I can see area I'd like to tweak but its staying firmly in the frame or I'll be in danger of overworking it!
