Lesson 8 | Dogs – dogs – dogs

Hello.
I’m happily Sketching. I’m drawing a dog with the first rule of the fluttering line. Why do we draw dogs? What are the advantages? And there are several, several advantages for the dog, like anatomy. The dog’s anatomy is the same anatomy that mainly all mammals have. So the joints and the bones of the legs, we have similar, elbows and ankles, wrists and all this stuff. So we learn about anatomy.

The second thing is texture. Here it is fur. That’s very beautiful to draw because you really can see the object and how the elevation lines go in the object. That helps you very much.
The other thing is, if you Google a dog, then you find something emotional. This means that everybody has a feeling toward a dog and this helps us while drawing. And this catches the observer when he sees what kind of feeling a dog or an object has. So because we are doing the expression, this is helpful. And last but not least, the dog is always a popular subject and that’s why it fits very much. For our purpose for drawing, we are doing fast sketches. So we are doing several sketches: one for two minutes, one for 90 seconds, one for 75 seconds, 60, 45, and even 30 seconds. And I do it so that you can see it, how I do it, but I do it silently so that.

You can observe me drawing and how long I do take for this. So I first draw this dog. I have to put it away so that you can see my drawing. I start with some fluttering lines and the eye. I have to find the overall proportion. I have only two minutes, but I need some time, in the beginning, to start so to know where the default form is. And afterward, I can go in, let the line flutter.

Yeah, I think this is it. Two minutes of drawing a dog. Two minutes for a dog. The second drawing is 90 seconds. For this dog, here again, I put it away.

90 seconds. This is the dog for the 45 seconds.

This is the drawing with 45 seconds.

And I dare to do this dog in 30 seconds.

How long do you need to draw a dog?
