Happy Lunar New Year Everyone! Welcome to the Year of the Dog!
This is today's entry into 's Artstorm Contest for my original non-digital art, created in fifteen minutes. Below is my reference photo, found at shutterstock.
I chose this one because it reminds me of the shiba inu from doge coin. I do have a slight bit of doge in my blockfolio and I totally love dogs!
This certainly wasn't easy for me to finish in only fifteen minutes! I loved the challenge though! My lines need to be straighter and the proportions more in proportion. :) Instead of only using a #2 pencil along with my color pencils, I would have used a marker to be able to more quickly fill in all the red! Using colored pencils requires much more time as it needs to be layered more in order to fill in the crevices of the paper I was using. I also would have erased my lines.
I do like the way the picture incorporates the white space as part of the work. Again, more time would have allowed me to fill in the background in order to make the white stand out.
