Sketch a UNIQUE DOG PORTRAIT - An Easy Ink and Watercolour Sketch Tutorial

Today we'll be sketching this characterful and unique dog portrait, using our watercolour paints and ink pens and our good old urban sketching tips and techniques.

The idea here is to focus not on drawing a dog... instead, we'll start with shapes, and shapes and shapes! Of course!

The shapes help us to define our lovely dog's outline - and then, from the shapes we can build up the planes of the dog. The planes are the different tufts of fur, patches of light, areas of shadow - by identifying these we will automatically end up with a beautiful sketch and a characterful little dog portrait.

The best bit is yet to come though, by producing such a geometric sketch we can move on and use these planes and patches to paint, applying splodges and splashes of paint in these areas creating a quirky and fun finished portrait.

I'm sure you'll find the process interesting, but please let me know in the comments if you agree!!
