The task for this drawing was to show the curliness of the dog's hair without drawing every single strand of it...just like with the baobab tree, to show (or suggest) the leaves without drawing individual ones. This is something I KNOW, but haven't had a whole lot of experience with....
I think it's a very successful rendering of the texture of the dog's coat. And it certainly conveys "dogness" also.
ReplyDelete"Successful" was going to be my choice of word too! I can feel the denseness of his coat and the curly texture. Great job.
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job on the dog right down to the cute face!
ReplyDeleteI'd say it's a success. This is a wonderful illustration. The dog looks ready to play! I'm always trying to figure out the leaf thing, but fur is a whole other challenge.
