Beverly in Progress

This is the next picture I'm working on.  This little girl Beverly (at least how it sounds to English ears) was a next door neighbor of ours for several months.  She talked about 60 miles an hour in a really high-pitched voice, and couldn't listen worth anything, but you've never seen a cuter little girl.  Their family gave us the puppy, Rocky, she's holding.  When we went for a walk, she made sure to be there to carry the poor puppy the whole way. 

So, we'll see how the rest of the picture develops.  I haven't drawn fur in years and the fact the puppy is white will make it that much harder.  If anyone has any comments or critique of any of my stuff, please feel free to leave a note -- it would be appreciated.
