Be the artist your dog thinks you are.

You can’t be mad at an ugly drawing of a dog. It’s impossible.

I met so many charming canines through my years of working and volunteering in animal shelters. Rescue dogs come with stories that are begging to be told. Drawing is the gateway to to bringing those canine characters to life!

4 reasons to draw dogs:

• Drawing them builds confidence for tackling challenging subjects.

• You can’t be mad at an ugly drawing of a dog. It’s impossible.

• Dogs come in a variety of interesting shapes, colors and textures.

• They’re fun to draw! You need to have fun when you're drawing or you won't want to keep doing it.

Dogs are special creatures and deserve a place in your sketchbook. You deserve an hour of drawing fun canine colors and forms.
