Day 656 Lets Say 

Who knows for sure. Yesterday I felt a bit better and drew my cat. I don’t know why it’s easier to draw a dog than a cat but at least for me it is. 
   This is go round two. And I like it best. I like the lines. I like the shading. A stripe or two suggested.  


 Toms a pretty orange cat with a white mask belly chest paws and tip of his tail. Try drawing and orange not quite striped cat with brown pen. Too much thinking required.

Black dawg – day???

Here’s a black dawg story for you. Did you know if yer black dawg can walk under the kitchen table she’s considered a small lab?!! Bytw a black dawg is usually a lab or lab mix. Lovely sweet animals. Worlds softest velvety fur.     
These are two of my fav sketches ever of Honey and I have drawn a lot of them. I think it’s the lights and darks. 

 Anyway my black dog honey loves to look out the front windows of this house. I call them gun slits because they are only two feet wide and six feet tall. She couldn’t care less about the back windows which are all triple sliding glass doors. She has to keep up with what’s going on in the neighborhood. Can’t do that from the back. 

  
  

 Honey actually resting her chin on her command post window. 

Drawn with my noodler Creaper ahab Carbon platinum black ink superaquabee tablet.

Day??? 

Posted on wrong blog. Sickness side effect. 
 Sickness update. 

Finally well enough to go to doctor. Didn’t want to ask a friend to take me because I feel like I have the plague. 

Turns out it’s a massive sinus infection ears stopped totally. Cipro and steroids. Here’s to rapid improvement!! 

   Zoe is still on snuggle mode at my feet on the sofa. Maybe I will try some tv sketches soon?! 

  
In a hurry. Going to draw Honey who is actually where I can see her. A rare occasion. 

   

Did u know a skylight casts a shadow when you try to take a photo of your sketches under it?! Who knew?! 😳

Day 653 Black dog

     
Honey could not resist the smell of the sausage and lay patiently waiting long enough to draw her. At one point I thought the sketch was ruined but I smudged the only shadows and she improved greatly. 
  

 Giving up. No sausage for her.
