Blurry Photos

This is from a _very_ blurry photo I took while stalking other's people dogs on the street. Sometimes blurry photos are the best to draw from, they force you to see only the essential details. It is easier to make yourself fill in the rest.

Gotta love her puppy eyes!

Thank you to whoever left their cute dog waiting outside Beretta!

Can you tell he was not fond of the camera?



Shiba

Shiba Inu.



Made on 6/2.. It's been that long already?

This one was done yellow to add color to what would be dog-mosiac wall paper. Well I decided to omit it when I did get around to making a wallpaper. I was too impatient to wait until I had a whole bunch of them. I like it, even though the color combination is meh. I could not make the Shiba look right, its position was too similar to the Husky's.

Colorful value studies

 I think I will make a few more of these and tile them together to make a wallpaper.

A value study. I'll be doing a lot more of these.

The Tablet

Some people do not consider digital art as “real art”. You can’t feel the texture of the paper, thin out the paint just right, or blend with your fingers. Then there’s those who get suspicious and cannot stop thinking:  Is that really drawn, or traced? Was that background a blurred photograph? 

For me, using a tablet is just very practical. It is a great way to get artistic without having to spend a few minutes arranging supplies. You do not have to worry about wasting materials, handling fumes and toxic solvents, or interruptions while your paints are quickly drying out. Getting your hands dirty is fun, too bad it’s inconvenient. 

 

Anyways, I did bother to dig out supplies today. I rediscovered my black canson paper, which I had abandoned after experiencing how ridiculously non-intuitive dark paper could be.

 I love this one! Although I’m unhappy with the mouth. I can’t figure out how to fix it..

Value

Today's drawing: playing around with value.

Cute Doggy

I think was the first drawing/sketch of the year

Can't tell if it's a border collie or black mongrel or something else.. but it's a cute doggy for sure.
