You and I are on the opposite ends of the time spectrum. My drawings of pets take about 20 minutes. I usually work from life, however, so, 85 hours would be a little hard on the dog.:) They bring them into the mall and set them up on my table in front of me. You are endowed with patience. I am not. As a matter of fact, I probably am the most impatient artist that ever was. But I like the live action, fun and challenge of drawing live dogs. I do work from photos too, but usually they are horrid snapshots, and I have to make sense out of them.
Once, I was to draw a dog from life, but it was way too hyper. I happened to have my movie camera with me that day, and I took a one minute shot of it, and worked from the stopped frame which we selected.
Your work would lend itself well for cards, callendars or prints. I know of a man who draws the movie stars in graphite and sells the prints at malls at the holidays. He only needs to draw one drawing a month to make a very, very comfortable six figure-a-year living.
I have never been able to get into that kind of thing with my quickies.
