Daily Sketches #5: Canines and a couple oddities (Patreon)

Next up, sketches #29-35! Lots of dogs here. <3

Canine Tail TF Study #1: Was supposed to be German Shepherd but turned out looking a bit more Coyote? Whatever the case, was more to test a gradual motion blur to express motion. I think that worked out alright.

Canine Footpaw TF Study #1: Demi Shiba-Inu with a focus on learning more about dog toes and how they angle together and squish under weight, it’s subtle. Also, g-shep footpaw, blending the anatomy of the foot and toes while the big toe, unchanged apart from shrinking, vanishes into nothing. The difference between fore and hind paw in dogs is fascinating, imagine having a different number of digits on your feet than your hands!

Canine Forepaw TF Study #1: Not a whole lot to say abt this one, was for testing the spread/flex of forepaw toes as well as trying out spotted paw pads.

“Missed a Spot”: When transforming yourself into a Shiba Inu, it’s good practice to make sure you drink the WHOLE potion… or cast the whole spell… or whatever the case, because missing the face can still leave you mobile… missing the hind legs after your hips go quadruped? Whoops, good luck with that one~

“Akita Issues”: Wanted to do a bit of apto with dog paws, so Quakie wound up totally fumbling this sake pour due to lack of thumbs. The ears and tail were added to make glasses and pants ill fitting and maximally distracting~

“Imperfect Sphere” Perma fusion tape silliness, I’ve never done a male griff-ball going all the way, and it seemed like a good way to test a way to convey sensory deprivation in a thought bubble, needs some work but I think it’s a good start!

“Bird-vase Facing Forward” Lmao I realized I had never drawn these birds facing forward and perhaps there’s a reason for that!! Though, still something worth practicing. The pot is incidental, I didn’t want to draw a whole griffon and ceramics have been on my mind a lot lmao so have some additional celadon. Couldn’t quite get the ball gag to look spherical here, so that def needs more practice.
