Woof!
What a cool dog! I could not resist.
This is another trip to Reddit Gets Drawn, tidily restored to the traditional Saturday slot, however, the wheel, erm… wasn’t working, so I couldn’t do it under timed conditions, sorry. 😉 No, in truth, I just thought I probably wouldn’t be able to do this lovable little tyke the justice deserved. Too adorable to go by swiftly.
I reverted from Corel Painter back to Photoshop for this. Starting out in Painter, I quickly began to get lost in an awkward smudge of black and brown paint, so after a few hours found myself back with the ol’ faithful. Maybe I shouldn’t have chickened out of the practice, but the dark coat and fur seemed a very daunting task and I just felt as if this would be the better way to go. The Photoshop result has come out better, with a pleasing synergy between it and my drawing of the grey wolf. I will, however, endeavour to try a furry creature in Corel before the trial expires.
Here’s the comment thread, which contains the photograph and some particularly good responses.
In signing off, here’s another cool dog:
Too much laughter. Woof woof indeed.
He/she is beautiful, a humans best friend 🙂

I’m told his name is Rebel. I can only assume, with a name like that, that he’s incredibly well-behaved. 😉

Great dog portrait – methinks there’s money to be made there? 😉

Wow, Jacob, this is amazing! Really lovely work and that’s a challenging face because of all the black fur. Making this even more impressive. Well done!

Thanks Laura! He was quite the challenge, but mercifully, an adorable one! Indeed, the reason I abandoned Painter for this was my struggling (understatement!) with the dark colours – it was a heck of a lot easier to shade and colour in Photoshop, where the medium isn’t so clever!

Wow! Awesomely rendered pup you got there! He looks fantastic Jacob! I’m sure he this dog wouldn’t even need a “How to pick up Bitches” book. He’s quite handsome! Hehe

Cheers, Charlie! He (Rebel, I’m informed) was a lot of fun to draw. Isn’t he adorable? The dog in the photo shouldn’t need it either – he’s beautiful! Eeek! I want them both. 😛

I can only handle one dog at a time. I’m always sure to stay clear of all shelters or I’d want to adopt them all. 😊

Haha, I’m the same (with cats as well as dogs!) You probably should keep to one, otherwise you’ll have a jealous Phineas start yodelling to regain your attention 😉

Thanks so much, Rebecca! That means much to me – I always have such fun drawing animals, I’m glad it comes through. One only wonders why I don’t do more!

You should, although you do have an amazing talent for people also. I am usually open mouthed, with a gasp, followed by a wow, and a run upstairs to show my daughter 😀 with all of your work.
