Wolves

The wolf pups in this picture are a good example of what NOT to do when drawing wolves. Pup #1, when drawing a wolf or any other animal, you do not want to fill in the eye ALL black. If you are to accidentally fill in the eye more black then you wanted fill it in most of the way but leave a white dot for light reflection. Pup #2, when drawing wolves or dogs (besides pugs, bulldogs, etc) you DO NOT want a super short snout. It leaves the wolf or dog looking more like a pug then a wolf. And now for pup #3. This is not as bad as the others, but the last thing that you do not want to do is make a larger wolf or dog fat. This is optional though. If you are the kind of person that likes fat wolves and dogs, you can
completely ignore this tip.

American Bobtail Cat

Once again, I am sorry for not making a tutorial. An American Bobtail can come in almost any color (reasonable for a cat not blue, green, purple). The distinct thing about the American Bobtail is the bobbed tail. I will try to get more tutorials out soon.

Plastic Wrap

I learned the plastic wrap technique at water color class. First you start by getting a paint brush and dipping it in water. Then you paint your paper with water. Then add a little bit of paint, if you put enough water on the paint will spread itself out in the water. Once your paint has spread out, get a sheet of plastic wrap and cover your painting. Once the paint has dried you will remove the plastic wrap. Then outline shapes that look like different things (such as a duck or rhino). Then use different colors to paint in the areas that are not distinctive shapes. Then you will end up with something similar to this.

How To Draw A Dog #2

First you will draw two rectangles for the head and snout, after that you add two rounded squares for the body.
 Then starting from around the middle of the back of the head, add the first ear and add the other one after you make the first one. Also add the back of the neck.
 Then make the head and make the front of the neck and chest and erase your rectangles and squares (except the one in the back).
 Then make a sloped back.
Add the legs (always start with the leg in front).


 Then add the back leg and erase the last square.
Next add the last leg.
Now add a nose, markings, and a tail (markings can be any design).
To make the eye make one curve and make another that attaches.
 Then color in the eye (any color)


Then add dark brown lines for fur (any color will work)
Then use a light brown to color in the dog (once again you can use any color)
Then add shadowing (by lightly using your black in certain places) and sign.

Kitten In Presents

This is another picture that I did of Sushi. I based it off of a picture, when she was a kitten. It did not turn out a lot like the picture since I made a few changes. I did not include the tree or all the presents. It was easier to make since I did not include the tree or all of the presents. For Sushi I did the fade circles and a couple of lines. For the presents I did squares and colored them in. And the blanket was basically just a curved line with a bunched up area on one side.
