Not quite 3 x 3 but who is really paying that much attention?

It’s Tayto!  Looking quite dapper if I don’t say so myself and he is Blue. Tayto has a way of staring uncontrollably at a person to the point of awkwardness. Luckily, being that he is a dog its not quite as weird as if the human next to you stared for a solid 5 minutes. Imagine how strange that would be.

Tayto

Anyway, he was just sitting so still I decided to sketch him out. Naturally I had a highlighter near by so he became a blue Pomeranian. After sketching Tayto I felt as if he needed a little something, a chair, a pillow, maybe a thrown if he had his way. He acts pretty entitled like a Royal might, really he is just a moody little thing but I love him all the same.

Enjoy and see you next time!

Three Hundred and Sixty-Three!

This image looks as if Lady Boo Boo (my dog) did Shrooms. Just for all the animal lovers out there I did not give my dog drugs, I just painted her in a landscape that is somewhat hallucinogenic. I started this image a while ago and have been slowly developing it. It still feels unfinished but unfortunately for me I have a deadline and you do what you can. I can always rework it later. Enjoy and see you next time!

Three Hundred and Forty -Nine!

Quick sketch of Miss Noel sitting so politely at the table. It’s amazing how one dog can be so good and then the next dog would devour that piece of cake before you had a chance to move it out-of-the-way. Enjoy and see you next time.

Three Hundred and Thirty-Seven!

It’s Lady Boo Boo in all her glory! For those who have not had the pleasure of meeting this fantastic lady, this is my Pomeranian. She is quite the lady and has a very majestic way about her. She always stands tall and alert even as she gets older. This winter was fun as she loves the snow and utilized the snow piles in our yards as look out posts.  I do not have too much more to say other than I am pumped that I was able to capture her aging face in this image as I tend to always make her look like a younger pup. This is who she really is… Enjoy and see you next time.

Three hundred and Seven!

Okay, so in all fairness this image is a little creepy. The floating dog heads, flowers and spinal references just seem so random. I really do not know what I was doing… I will blame it on wine and lack of sleep. This weekend I realized I was falling behind on my 1.5 drawings before April 2nd and tried to just draw for ages. The images seemed to start normal but as I got tired I began to turn to whatever was in my muscle memory. ,Result nervous system/web-like patterns and teeth/stones/spinal cord like structures. Lets be honest, I would draw that type of thing everyday if it got me anywhere but obviously that is not where my success lies! Enjoy and see you next time!

Two Hundred Sixty-Four

image

Currently I am working on two portraits of two different Pugs for a friend. Although this image definitly resembles a pug it does not look like his pug, so I guess Ill try again tomorrow. Please take that into account when looking at the images many sections were left in their initial state as I suddenly realized this pug was too fat! In the meantime, enjoy and see you next time.

Two Hundred Fifty-Five!

image

Meet Buddy, the most perfect Chocolate lab in the whole wide world. He isn’t my dog but everytime I get to see him he brightens up my day. As I mentioned with the image of Tayto, I need to build my library of images of dogs. I love working on images of animals but I will say I still struggle with perspective and depth within the image. Regardless it is all a learning process. Enjoy and see you next time!

Two Hundred Fifty-Three!

image

Its Tayto! Recently I was approached by a few people who were looking to have images of their dogs made into art pieces. Now granted it’s just a portrait but I need to start building a library of images to show these potential customers. On that note, I decided to draw Tayto yawning. It is one of my favorite images of him. Anyway Enjoy and see you next time.
