Here is my first attempt at drawing a dog, a short haired Dachshund. I used pastel pencils on pastel paper. I loved drawing the eyes and nose the most (and I think it probably shows), the fur I found challenging and also selecting what colours to use, but overall I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. I just love those eyes!
I discovered a pet portraiture course the other day at the
London Art College. It's a 1 year course and I think I'm going to take it! They accept overseas students and you can work through the course at your own pace and learn how to draw and paint animals in a variety of mediums.
Very nicely done for your first attempt, well done you:o)) I'm owned by a Smoothaired Mini Dachs in a red/tan colour so I reckon you are pretty close to getting it right:o))

Thanks so much Lyn! I've never owned a dachshund but I love them so much :)
