A photo freezes the movement of a running dog as a reference for portrayal.
When a dog runs, alone a camera can freeze a second in day and catch all the details. Illustration a dog running at comprehensive velocity is a threat at the choicest of times, on the other hand the office is all the more easier when you bag a crack photograph that is in limelight. You may wish to appropriate the photo yourself or benefit a reference dead ringer taken by a learned. This type of delineation is comprehensive of method and may hurting for aggrandized continuance to construct successfully than whether the dog were stationary.
Instructions
1. Present the reference carbon copy of a running dog beside your portrayal station. On a lot of drawing paper, draw several rectangles. Begin with one that represents the entire dog. Measure the relative size of the head on the photo and draw a smaller rectangle or box to symbolize it, using the measurements from your photo to set up scale. Draw more rectangles to define the dimensions of other areas such as legs and torso. You should now have a geometric drawing that represents all sections of the dog in your photo.
2. Continue to compare proportions as you start to sketch the outline of the dog within the rectangles. Draw the head, neck, body, legs and tail. Continue adding detail to the ears, legs and tail. Erase all the guidelines and rectangles as you have now fully established the dog's outline.4. Use short fuzzy lines to denote fur, but keep the lines going in the right direction.
3. Draw in the eye or eyes of the dog (a side view only shows one eye) in the shape of a triangle with slightly curved sides. Outline the ears and the shape of the snout and mouth. Shade in the nose area and outline any visible teeth and/or flapping tongue. Do not be concerned with detail at this point. Make sure the outline of the dog is complete. Use curved lines to denote the dog's outline along the dimensions established by the rectangles. Go beyond these guidelines to create the actual curves of the dog's outline, but work carefully to preserve proportion.
Mark the dog's whiskers with dots, and draw in the pupil of the eye. Use flowing lines to denote the flow of the fur, adding a sense of movement to your drawing. Accent the legs, and make the hind legs thicker than the front legs. Look for highlights and low-light areas in the photograph, and transfer these to your drawing. Continue to add detail until you create the illusion of the dog at a full gallop.
