Description Christmas gift for ~pyromaniac1992 cause Sheep didn't really go shopping this year... XD Sorry I toned down Pyro's markings again, sheep is all stubborn like that. You're awesome, Jess, even if you don't think so. Here's to another year of best-friend shenanigans. Merry Christmas!

Tonight I can see a star shine
And its splendor fills up the sky
It’s the same that appeared
And the wise men revered
When hope was born this night
Out upon the snowy fields
There’s a silent peace that heals
And it echoes the grace of our Savior’s embrace
Because hope was born this night

Glory to God in the highest
Peace on Earth
Goodwill toward men
Let all of the world sing the chorus of joy
Because hope was born this night!

Technical mumbo-jumbo: Scan killed this, probably because it's a mixed media modge-podge of watercolors, pastels, colored pencils, and graphite.

Even if the scan did kill the colors, the muted color pallet and simple composition are gorgeous. What paper was this drawn on?

I think it was your average-grade pastel paper--98lb, 160G. It also had what the Canson company is calling a "subtle texture." XD Thank you very much!

This is really good, the anatomy of the sheep and the dog look perfect (not that I really know what it's supposed to look like but it looks right!) They look so cute playing in the snow together! I also really like the one big star.

Thanks! Actually I think that dogs are easier because 1) there's no limit to how many guides/references that can be found for dogs and 2) sheep can be really easy to turn into woolly horses. XD
