AAR Dogs

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.

( 3 more pups! )

Two more drawings that went out a few days ago. I did not get a chance to go scan these in before I sent them, so I took photos instead, making them look a bit odd. I've been enjoying the opportunity to draw different breeds and different types of coats. This was my first attempt at brindle, and the first time drawing any of these breeds!

Ginger and Echo, a cute duo.




And the Brews Brothers, Stout and the famous 2014 4" PNAC Porter

I'm making a real effort to document things I make now. It's sort of an important thing, I suppose.

Here's my first comissioned dog drawing, a goldendoodle named Boomer who sadly passed away this past winter.



And here's a drawing I did of Panic for practice. I don't like to draw my own dogs because I'm never quite satisfied with the results, but I gave it a shot anyway.




Like I said before, I'm delving into the world of custom dog portraits over on Etsy. Coupon code LIVEJOURNAL gets you 25% off! I've been having a lot of fun with it and I'm hoping that I will improve and develop over the course of this endeavor. I still don't quite know what to do with the background of these drawings, but I decided to try some swirly stuff out on these guys.
