Whoops, a whole backlog of drawings from my Etsy that I keep forgetting to post here.  Now that summer is here I definitely have way more time to spend on things like this, so orders won't take as long as they have in the past. It's been really fun to practice drawing so many different types of dogs, and I do hope I'll continue to improve. I used to do this type of drawing all the time, but probably as evidenced by my last post, I have two pretty radically different aesthetics going on.



Merrell was really fun to draw. She's such a cool dog, and her coloring was quite the challenge.


Another Oregon pup, Ripley!



Black dogs, hard to draw and even harder to scan in. All the drawings look WAY BETTER in person than they do scanned. Not sure how to do that better...



Cute Matilda. I've definitely drawn more doodles than anything else!

Monday! Then I start my internship Wednesday. I'm getting nervous though, I thought I had an apartment lined up to sublease but I haven't heard back from the person since last week...

grrrr... do you have a back up plan? I'm frantically trying to think if I know anyone living in the Chicago area. I think I'm coming up blank!

A very close friend of mine lives there and I'd be able to stay with him until I find something.

I've been trying to give this person the benefit of the doubt because up until now it's gone so smoothly, but today I'm desperately seeking out other options.

What part of town is your internship ? Bronagh might have leads on apts in Hyde park... She loves her car magnets! And the Razzle tote I had made too!!
Your drawings--each one so wonderful. You really capture so many different dogs so well! You can feel their personalities
I love Joey and Matilda too!

I'm looking for places on the north side of Chicago, mostly Lakeview and surrounding areas, so Hyde Park would be pretty far for me unfortunately. Thank you though! So so glad you have liked all the drawings, and thanks so much for getting them! It's really been fun!

I love my Merrel drawing. You did a great job with her color. I still need to hang it.

Safe travels. I look forward to reading about your summer.

You could try fussing with the scans in PS to possibly get them to look a little better on screen if you don't already. Sounds like your doodles are my aussies. I've painted/drawn so many aussies. I get to paint even more aussies soon.

Thanks Rebecca. Unfortunately I don't have PS, but I do what I can in Lightroom. I should mess around with it more I think. The prismacolor marks are so gorgeous in person and I'd like to able to convey that. BTW I was looking at your work on facebook the other day and was blown away by it!
