My Yellow Lab, Jackson

Okay, Today I’m posting the drawing I did for my grandpa, my dog Jackson. He is a yellow Labrador and we actually got him free with his sister Belle. When he was a puppy, Jackson had a curled tail. And since Labradors are meant for hunting, he couldn’t hunt without a straight tail, so the breeder gave him for free. Jackson with his sister Belle is 6 years old now. And the best dog that you can have. But let’s get started on drawing!
1.  Get your pencil, paper, and the picture of the person, or animal, or thing you’re going to draw. Or what I call, (the Three P’s ! )
2.  Then start on the outline on the animals head, or figure, and work down to the whole body if it’s a portrait or full body image.
3.   Make sure the outline of the figure is exact; you want the animal to look exact. As much as possible.
4.   Start the outline in the eyes, nose, ears, ect. Make sure they are all close as possible, and realistic!
5.    Start to lightly shade your spots of the picture that has shadows, or darker spots. It makes a difference!
6.   Start adding fur on the animal; you want to make sure if the animal has spots, you draw them too.
7.   Add the detail to more exact level; you want the fur to look like fur, not like skin.
8.   Start darkening the lightly shading on the drawing.
9.  Add the extra accessories like collars or ect. And make sure if that also has dark spots do shading, add the detail, ect.
10.                   Then finish off with hairspray on the picture, so your shading doesn’t smear. Then you’re done!


                                 Thankyou!!
Remember to look at other drawings of mine!
