Thread: Pet portraits - dotty dog doodles...

No doubt we lost a good one, have you got a link to the Fantail pic ? How long does it take you to do a pic like the dog you posted ? How did you come to choose to dot art ?did it just come to you or did you see someone's works you liked? I can not get over not only the skill but the patience you must have.

My Grandfather was a painter who supported himself sign writing ,my uncle was a sculptor who supported himself sign writing & my wife does metal work & landscape painting & l here l am not having a bone of artistic talent in my body,so l admire you guys .

Hi again @bunji....
If you check out the start of the thread , 1st post on page 1 , I mentioned the time it took and the fantail pic is around halfway down the page. It's not as detailed as the dogs as it is only on printer sized paper but the eagle head attached below shows the detail that can be achieved if you have waaaay to much time on your hands.
There's a few other drawings on my 'pet portraits - animal art' thread and more of the leather stuff in my 'playing with leather' thread if you fancy a nosey....
I like doing the dot style drawing for the detail and not many other people do it. I am experimenting more with the colour pencils and may do a series of nz large game animals to sell as prints if enough interest and I think they are good enough....





Ignore the crease line though , that's a copy of the one on my wall that's been living folded in a draw...

Thanks l missed them as the Nett at the farm is that slow at times you can read 6 pages before it loads large pic files off this forum ,they look grear ,next year you should offer the Game /Wild life drawings on xmas cards etc.

My first experiment using solely coloured pencils.... decidedly average but hopefully some practice and I will improve....
