Well – it was supposed to be a dog called Fenris. I got a request from “Alasandra the cats & dogs” to do a drawing, and I picked the dog Fenris. It went all wrong! This crazy sketch is way off. The snout is too small and weirdly crooked and… Yeah.
I’m pretty happy about the sketch, though. But we can call it “crazy expressionist dog” instead of Fenris if you like 😉
Sometimes if you let go of the reference photo, it permits the drawing to become something else.
.. I may just do a real drawing of Fenris or another pal from his household at a later time!
453 !
It’s GOOD to let it “free” sometimes!!!!
Pam
That’s what I figured 😉
I love the expression on this…..lol!
Thanks 😉 It was fun to make!
I think it is great..super expressive and i bet that Fenris will be pretty happy with it 🙂 and it is called creative licence for a reason 🙂
Haha, true.. It’s fun to experiment. But I think that I’ll do something a little more precise tomorrow 😉
Good for you..i am off to bed now been working on pics from today..foxes and roos all sharing a paddock..bizarre!
Goodnight to you then!
And good morning/day to you 🙂
Thanks.. Afternoon 😉
I did not have to see the title of the post to know that was Fenris, so you did capture his essence.
Haha, I’m glad to hear it 😉 I do think that these last two sketches are falling a bit behind, though. I hope to make a more precise and careful sketch tomorrow !
I think this is really expressive and characterful.
Thanks.. I’m happy with it as a sketch, but not so much as a drawing of this dog in particular 😉 Good think that nobody is paying me to draw it !
That’s how it goes sometimes. Some of my best life drawings look absolutely nothing like the model. The lack of verisimilitude, however, need not undermine the quality of the art work. It’s art after all.
My thoughts exactly! Thanks 😉
I really like it!
Thanks 🙂
Great face. And the contrast of darks and lights works really well too.
Thanks 🙂
HaHa! I can’t believe it but fozzie.m said exactly what i was going to say. I make pets likenesses in yarn and I just start and see where it goes. Fenres looks great!
Thanks a lot 😉
