I'd say that is a VERY good likeness! I am surprised the person wanting the sketch did not buy it. Maybe something changed for them. Maybe like me, they had a month of over-indulging the Yorkie passion. But, I am willing to bet if you put the sketch up for sale under Yorkie products, you just might find a buyer here. Since Yorkie pups look so similar at this stage, there is bound to be someone who thinks it looks like their own baby.
Has he ever thought about trying to take his drawings on to pen and ink? I had great luck selling those. I worked from photographs or patterns but he could do it freehand. I started with a pencil sketch, then went over with the pen and ink, and often used a "rouging method" after that. Rouging is taking a small amount of oil paint mixed with a gel and putting a little tint on the picture, just in some areas. You rub it on like rouge, hence the name. Just an idea....
Best of luck to you both!
