Sketch of a dog called Nacho in ballpoint pen
Hi everyone!
Here’s a dog called Nacho. Nacho’s owner shared my “free drawing request offer” on facebook, and today I picked her with the randomness-generator at random.org (random numbers from static noise! It doesn’t get more random than that!)
I think this sketch could have been better, if I had zoomed a little in and only focused on the face. It’s so difficult to simplify the details when they’re small and they always just get muddled up into a black mass. I got this “correction pen” a while back that has allows you to paint some white laquer over the areas where you put on too much black, and I gave it a shot with the eye.. It wasn’t really successful.
Anyway – thanks for sharing my offer on facebook, and I hope you (and everybody else) like the drawing!
That was my 465th drawing since the 9th september 2014 !
Oh I do like it……even with the darkness Nacho’s eye stands out – love those ears!

I like it. I think if you don’t point out the problems nobody will notice.

Haha – Sometimes I just speak to myself 😉 I’m also quite happy with it, but when trying to improve a skill, I think that auto critique is really important.. I always try to objectively point out what i would like to improve in order to focus on that. Thanks a lot for your comment!

I think it’s a great drawing, full of personality. My 9 year old thinks it’s a great drawing too and thinks it looks like Nacho is reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.

Oh that might be it! I was wondering my he was standing like that, but the recitation kind of explains that !! Thanks a lot for your commentaries both of you 😉
