(Wo)Man's Best Friend

Screen print of a fabulous dream

Sketching these two dogs in my sketchbook by pen and ink.

I feel lop eared dogs are so cute these days. And I realized my dog got a lot of ribbons from his groomer (She give my dog a lovely ribbon every time we go and I really like it so keep them). Then, I drew this. I want one more dog or a cat...

A close friend recently lost their family pet, Joey. As a tribute gift, I did his portrait. I usually just draw people, so this presented quite the challenge for me. I have never attempted to draw animals/pets. Bic4 Ballpoint Pen, Sanrio Novelty 10 Colour Ballpoint Pen on Archival 8.5" x 11" paper

This week, I've been doing pencil drawings of dogs---usually while listening to the news on my computer. Cardigan Corgi, Bloodhound, and Borzoi (Russian Wolfhound). Various graphite pencils on Canson Sketch pad paper. Random on-line photos as reference.

Forgot to post this doggo sleeping I made some time ago.

Weibe is a lazy bassett hound. Got on a dog drawing kick and was experimenting with a lineless style, which I've come to like.

Another pet portrait!.......I'm just loving doing these.

Dogs will always make me feel better, especially the big one when you can just snuggle into that furry body!
