Light sketch of Clowie the dog in ballpoint pen

April 29, 2015

Hi everyone. This is a request that I got from Clowie’s Corner.
What a beautiful dog Clowie is!
It can be hard to draw white fur with black lines, but I think that the best way to go is to be as “minimal” with the lines as you possibly can. Although this is mostly just “hinting” lines that somehow give the viewer an idea about what goes on, I still am quite happy with it.

I’m just about to run for the train – We’re going to my parent’s and then a few days vacation. I’ll try to make my daily drawings from Rome these next few days !

That was number 472 since 9th September 2014!

I really like your approach with this drawing, the more minimalist mark-making. Have a wonderful time in Rome. I have a yearning to return there that we refer to as being “Romesick”. I look forward to seeing what you draw while you are there.

Haha. I hope to get the time to just sit down and sketch a little. But there’s a lot to see!

I know Clowie and like this….I would imagine sketching a white dog would be full of challenges, but this looks great!
