Yeah I know he looks kinda mean, but Click the video here to see what I mean ^^
I am also starting to get used to drawing full-spread on my Moleskine too, after discovering something called "Fixatives".
Oh and thank you all for the comments on my library sketch, and the cards request. I've posted all those that are in the US but for those outside US I'm going to do that today. The people in the post office will have to spare me a little time considering I am sending to so many different countries ^__^
Awesome drawings here Alex! I got my card!! Love it! Thanks so much for sending me one! I'm ever so glad you have had opportunities come your way with it. Cheers! --Jennifer
ReplyDeleteWonderful drawings! I just love dogs, and that video was hilarious! Thanks for the link. hugs, nancy
ReplyDeleteGreat sketch. You really caught his wild, angry, threatened expression. My kids tell me that I change my expressions quickly too! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the video and the sketch...I wish I knew what they were saying though. :)
ReplyDeletegarang nya ... ;)
ReplyDeletewat is 'Fixatives'?
He's great! The "evil" expression is awesome, very realistic! "Wolf-style" dogs have always been my favorites too! A yoga-friend of mine has a beautiful (but nevertheless hopelessly clumsy and stupid) one that *really* looks like a wolf - I think it's called something like "Czech wolfhound"?
ReplyDeleteThe video is freaky! That chihuahua gives me goosebumps... XD
PS: SO looking forward to that card! (And I already have an idea what to send you back in return! <3)
You really captured his expression. Like Nancy, I love dogs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. I appreciate your kind words!
Marvelous work! The video made me really laugh out loud !
ReplyDeletegreat drawings of the dogs, you got the expression real good. The video is very funny, (no need to understand Japanese).
ReplyDeleteYour sketch of people in the latest post is very good,it is true, sketching outside and specially people teach to go fast.
If you still have postcards,( congratulation to have your artwork on display) I will gladly make an exchange, let me know by e-mail if it is ok with you.
These are just terrific, Alex!! Brilliant work!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent sketches! Dogs do have many expressions, especially our spoiled pets :-) We got our cards! Thank you so much! Yours are on the way.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, you got his expressions so well! Portraiting animals is as difficult as portraiting people (to me, at least). I'm going to watch the video now!
ReplyDeleteAnd, while I'm here, also want to say I love your moleskine page in your post below, it looks great! Love the thick linework and composition!
The husky is mad but so funny. Good drawings Alex, I like 'big' dogs too...I have a gentle giant at home!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful drawings, Alex! Both are very expressive.
ReplyDeleteoops before I read the post I thought this was a werewolf. Sorry Alex. Interesting pics and post.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, Alex! And thank you for the card...I did receive it! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat dog looks so fierce! As we say around here - 'I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of him!'
ReplyDeleteDogs really do speak with their faces just like we do. So many people think dogs are just stupid so don't bother looking for the expressions. Nice job on your drawings here.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog too. I can see how you'd be missing your family. I spent two years in Japan when my husband was in the navy and not being able to just drive to family events was really hard. I would like to live closer than 6 hours away but it's better than having to take a long air trip. It's good to have family you can miss though and now we have skype, cell phones and other means of being in close contact so that's better now even though not quite the same.
what a big difference between these 2 sketches! the one on the left looks really adorable while the other one is very ferocious! an intriguing contrast!
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous drawings, you really have captured the changing emotions on the face of the dog... I must check the video out again! Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteOh, and of course, I'm definitely with you re. wolves!!! x
I got my card!!! I got my card!!!!! Thank you so so much! It is beautiful - esplly in the size that it is! Thanks also for the wonderful message inside.. it is incredible how you take time to write to us.. be it blog or as you have in your card.. :) :)
ReplyDeleteAaahhhh... fixatives!!! (light bulb going off in head) - makes perfect sense!! I really hate when my pages smudge together.
ReplyDeleteAlex, somehow I missed lots of posts of yours that weren't showing up in my Google Reader. I'll have to check the link I have for you to make sure it's valid. Sorry I missed so many of your wonderful drawings, including this one.
I'm a bit behind here. The husky is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAnd then I find out you are drawing in public! I fell off my chair. Excellent drawing!
And, if it's not too late, Breaux Bridge! And if you are out of that one, I-10!
