This dog, who’s called Dennis and who has his own blog at http://dennisthevizsla.com/ just does not want to be drawn! Or maybe he does, and it’s just me who can’t seem to make it work. I gave it two tries, and the sketches ended up out of proportion and also.. bizarrely human (?) both times. I think that it’s starting to dawn on me, that if something doesn’t work the first time, a second try rarely makes it any better.

Well maybe three is the charm?

Sketch of a scary balloon artist

Can you hear the fairground-music playing?

This is another Reddit gets drawn sketch – the request was entitled “My best friend is a balloon artist” – and the guy in the photo didn’t look nearly as scary as this drawing does. See the reference photo here

Hope he’ll forgive me!

And this was my 771th drawing since the 9th September 2014!

 

Sketch of a kid who likes crabs in pena nd ink

A Reddit gets drawn sketch of a boy, who aparrently likes this brand of brightly packaged crabs. Sea-food is healthy, so I suppose it’s all good.

I went for pen and ink again – I think I went a little overboard with the ink in his face this time. I should have left it a little whiter at some places, but it can be hard to control with ink. Especially if you can’t bother to slow down and do it properly!

It just dawned on me that I ought to show you the reference photos that I use from these RDG sketches, since they’re already online, so let me start to do that from now on. Here this one

This was my 761’th sketch since 9th September 2014.
