Dogs. Just dogs.

Most of the 251 drawings that I have done to date are pets. Some are still with us, and others have moved on. I like to think that they have evolved.

 

The greatest number of these are dogs.
I had to stop and think on it, and then I had to look them all up and count.
And I kept finding more and more.

 

The first couple of drawings that I did back in 2009, in fact, were dogs.  Big dogs, I admit, are my favorites.

But I've done my share of the little ones, too -- most especially Bella, my silly Puggle, getting a kiss below from her big brother Corly.

As with people drawings, animal pictures start with the eyes. If the eyes aren't right, the entire portrait is wrong. Dogs have very round, deep, knowing eyes.

I personally find it easier to draw dogs than people, despite the hair and whiskers.
They are more patient and forgiving, on paper as in real life.

I believe there are more than 60 of my dog drawings out there, or in my very own art room.
This serves as an overview of the collection.


If you have a dog drawing that I have forgotten, please send me a reminder.
And if you want one done, well ... I have references ...
