Here's my work in progress in my messy studio room!
I've finally sat myself down and drew a bit more of the GSD' I started earlier this month, here's my progress so far...
This is a drawing of an english staffordshire bull terrier in graphite pencil. I like it, and enjoyed drawing her - yet am a little critical still... perhaps the angle of the snout...
Sorry have not taken photos while drawing her - so no step by step images
One of my Favourite drawings (which took a while to create) has sold to a bloodhound owner - I'm very pleased it is finally going to a home where it will be appreciated!
will be sad to see it go - but it will fair better on someone's wall rather than in my studio!
Haven't done any more for my drawing yet, I'm itching to lock myself in my studio and get it done though!
Going away this weekend to a music festival, so won't be able to update the drawing until the end of weekend (fingers crossed...)
P.S My English Staffordshire Bull Terrier puppy Jah is coming home in two weeks photo here: He's currently 6.5 weeks old, look forward to bringing him to his forever home!
I am a beginner Pet Portrait Artist, as I have a passion for drawing and creativity and I love animals,
For starters... I have found this image of two German Shepherd Dogs, and thought it had a good composition, and would create a little bit of a challenge for me - as there are two, long haired dogs. I will show you a step by step on my drawing of these gorgeous dogs...work in progress!
I'll keep this regularly updated so you can see where I am with the drawing!
First Step:
I started with an overall sketch of both dogs, but my pencil is too light to be shown in a photo ...
I have stared a the top of the Dog on the right hand side, generally drawings should be done from the lightest colour first, (all over the image rather than in sections) and then progress to the darker shades, I tend to do the dog section by section, which works out well for me - i'm not patient enough to do one colour at a time! I do still progress from light to dark.
2nd Step:
Here are the finished ears, i will go back to them at the end of the drawing in add a bit more depth.
Step 3:
Here I have started the progression of the top of the head, adding a bit of colour and depth to the eyes.
Step 4:
I have decided to start on the eye on the left, as I'm right handed and didn't want to rub the drawing while i added the details. making sure I outline the eye and it has an expressive shape.
Step 5:
Here i have added the eye detail, i slowed down my drawing to make sure i got the detailing correct, nothing worse than a cartoon eye on a realistic drawing!
(Apologies for the photo quality)
Later today i will be adding to the drawing, keep posted on the progress.
