short noses

January 26, 2017  •  8 Comments

I've been continuing with the quick daily sketches, and over the last week I've made my first foray into short-snouted dogs. I'm so accustomed to being around and drawing dogs like Labs and Goldens and Shepherds, I thought it would be a good idea to learn the (remarkably different) anatomy of these other breeds. So here are a few of those quick sketches. These dogs all belong(ed) to a colleague who adopts older/mature dogs and gives them a happy home in which to live out their final years. The one he has currently came with a lot of baggage in the form of separation anxiety, and he managed to arrange to work from home a few days of the week to try to help the dog overcome this issue. Dog people are the best.

I'd say you have mastered the short noses. They are all so soulful. The lines so detailed.

They look amazing. The last one looks so sorrowful!
