The challenge of this subject , aside from drawing the likeness of the dog, was in figuring out the form
underneath the shaggy fur and to render it convincingly, without overdoing the details of it all.
I have been sketching dogs for months now, and yet I had a hard time with this dog, a shaggy maltese named Prince. I originally plan to use Clip Studio Paint for this sketch, but since I was having such a hard time drawing and painting this that to use a program I'm still unfamiliar with would be another difficulty I wouldn't want to take on right now. So I reverted back to using Artrage.
After this sketch, I plan to focus in learning the technical aspect of digital painting. So no more sketching dogs for a while. There's so much I need to study and learn. Now that I'm in the right frame of mind, it's a good time for me to do just that.
