A friend on deviantART posted this challenge: draw ten different dog breeds and make them look distinct. Her reasoning is that a lot of people draw one kind of dog and that's it.

I know I draw a lot of pit bulls and I draw Dalton (a bull terrier) basically constantly, so let's try to remember the differences between those and eight other breeds with minimal or no reference.

I wound up using a reference for the poodle and the English mastiff. And to check whether Boston terriers had tails. Everything else was from memory.

Scene that will appear in the distant future of Dalton.

Kinda also want to make a painting of this.

In case you wanted nightmares tonight.

I'm pretty sure there was a conversation that led up to the mouths-for-eyes guy, but I don't remember who it was with.

The swarm inside the horse at the bottom is a character for Dalton. His name is Nicholas.

It has been raining ash for one hundred days straight. The bears are not doing well.

Not sure when this is from. Last month sometime? It's a sharpie doodle.

More unproductive times means you get to see some more old sketches I neglected to scan before.

This first one is of my dog Sadie and Max's dog Tenzing being friends:

I drew it in an airport with a dying Micron pen, which I think is why some of the text didn't scan nicely. It is supposed to say "woof woof let's be friends."

And here are some more cartoony doodles of my big dumb adorable dog:

The puppy in the lower right corner looks a little like Scrappy-Doo, and that makes me sad.

Doodles of characters from a couple webcomics (String Theory, Achewood). And a big rat in the middle of the page who has nothing to do with anything.
