Description (to be scrapped eventually.)

So much has been happening over the past two years that I realized I never uploaded these! If some of you may recall, more than a year ago I asked people to suggest dog breeds for me to doodle, in lieu of my evolving art style ([link] ) . I've drawn quite a number out of all that were suggested to me, but I suppose being busy with my senior thesis at the time I forgot to scan and put them up. Oh well, better late than never, eh? Hopefully most of them are recognizable.

I've actually been developing a different sort of style too. I'll have to submit some stuff.

Dang these are adorable!

I've never really drawn dogs--- I'm quite tempted to give this a try!

This is extremely inspiring to me. I try to improve in the hopes that someday I can capture pose and expression in such a way. You are basically ome of my role-models in the art world. I would try to pick a favorite of these, but I would end up just describing all of them.
I am so excited for the day when I can commission you!

OMG I rad my original request and gagged at my noobishness. *Facepalm*

BUT THIS IS EPIC! I see a DANE and a Bedlington, and I also see a whippet or two I tink!!

By my favorite. MY FAVORITE is that smiling bull terrier. Oh, my. God. SO ADORABLE. I freaking love it to death SWIFT.

These are awesome, these are adorable! I cant get over how much i love your doggy drawings. *flails*

hahah, we all start off as newbs.

yeah there are a couple whippets ('cause it's me after all) but I was trying to experiment with breeds I don't draw a good deal. the more 'generic looking' ones like retrievers were actually more of a challenge -- weird-looking dogs are more fun to draw! -- but I enjoyed it all.

bullies are hella awesome, such a fun shape. I gotta draw more of those, maybe animate some even.

thank youuuu missy! hope you've had a productive summer.

Eeek so cute! Oh man I love all of them, but the Corgi, Samoyed (love the smile XD) and the Borzoi definitely stood out to me at first look... Borzoi in particular have such great features that make them perfect for caricature. XD So beautiful as always!

Sammysmile! thank you hun. next step: attempt to apply these skills to people faces, which is the real challenge for me at least...

Ooh yeah I hear you there... human features/expressions can definitely be daunting...

Light and shadow is where I'm really thinking I need to practice more, sigh~ *tries, tries again!*
