Dog Project, Round 1

Like with my other pet projects (Doxie, Kitty, and now Dog), I sketch at least one pet daily, then post it online when done.

I started my Dog Project at the beginning of May 2020 and have been building upon it ever since. The latest sketch immediately follows this text.

The images start out as pencil sketches. Next, they are painted with watercolors and key lined with pen. Finally, are brought into Photoshop where they are finished. Among adjustments, Photoshop allows me to separate the subject from the initial background, but not all sketches are finished that way.

NOTE: As of July 29, 2020, I will be starting a new page, “Dog Project, Round 2” to fill up in August!

Happy pup in his forever home!

Kitty Project, Round 1

As of April 20, I’ve started adding kitties to my portfolio. Many of the references were acquired at random through Upsplash and Pixabay, but I am looking for *yours.*

If you have some interesting pictures of your cats, especially if they are doing funny stuff, contact me at Karen@Sketch-Views.com.

Dachshund Project: Round 2

I finished 14 Doxie sketches in the first Dachshund Project, and started the next today with 38 new pictures from the Dachshund Lovers Group on Facebook. The picture I sketch uses a number that a group member selects which matches a random number assigned to each photo.

In this round, I’ll be trying out different styles. There will be a few more Doxie posts then I’m on to cats.

The Dachshund Project

This March I offered to draw/paint pictures of Facebook’s Dachshund Lovers Group’s pets. Thinking that only a few people would take me up on my offer, I almost immediately got 55 responses!

So to be fair to everyone, I assigned a random number to each respondee, then set up a procedure where I asked the first person responding to my post to pick a number from 1 to 100. The random number (or next one in line), therefor, identified what picture I’d draw next.

On April 7, I will develop a new list of Dachshund Lovers and will start a new page of sketches.
