LESSON NOTES
This project was modeled on the Golden Retriever but it can serve for any of the larger dog breeds.
BEGINNING
Begin your sketch by drawing lightly so you can correct it later on.
Start with a circle for the forehead, brow, and back of the head. The muzzle starts as a rectangle and two lines form the neck and shoulder. The line under the jaw is curved forward out and then back for the fold of the jowls. The muzzle is divided into unequal halves by a long thin triangle that will form the smile of the Dog.
DEVELOPMENT
The nose is a rounded triangle on the top of the muzzle. The eye looks like a triangle with a large circle inside, but the bottom of the lower eyelid curves down. The ear is two lines that start at the back of the head and tilt forward like a large letter "U". The mouth is curved slightly like a smile. There are four teeth shaped like triangles and a gap between them and the long tooth at the front.
DETAILS
The eye is almost all black, the blackest area is around the edges. There is a shiny spot in it. The mouth has a black edge all around it. The nose has a dark line going up for the nostril. The tongue is two curving lines that go out and down then back up and in.
FUR
Take your time with the fur. The fur on the face is short so draw short thin lines that do down and back. The fur on the ear is long and flowing use long slightly thicker lines. The fur on the neck and shoulder are long and flowing use long darker curvy lines.
