Little cat in profile

This little cat, called Percy is part of the blog “Jans Funny Farm

I was asked by the blogger over there to make a sketch of one of the several cats and dogs that are represented on the blog, and I pricked this one.

If there are any other bloggers out there who would like me to do a sketch for them, let me know !

This was my 777th sketch since September 9th 2014

Two not very good attempts at sketching a dog

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 cat called Graphite. In pen.

This cat is called Graphite. One might think that it would be obvious to draw this one in.. your know – graphite – but I did it in pen.

I originally got this request back in April, but never got around to making the sketch, so when the person behind the request asked weather Graphite could be put back into the mix, I happily did so. The poor cat had to wait 10 months!

Today is one of those gray winter-days where the sun comes up just before it goes down, and I tend to be really tired all the time at this time of the year. This must be part of the reason that Graphite ended up a little out of proportion. Maybe I’ll try again in another 10 months..

Here’s one of those Reddit gets drawn sketches of a Sheltie dog – A quite happy Sheltie dog, I might add!

See the reference photo here

I’ve drawn a few dogs already on my pet art portfolio – but no Shelties yet! I hope to get to make a commissioned portrait of a handsome dog like this at some point.

And this was my 770th drawing since the 9th September 2014!
