Ok, so I found this very challenging and very engaging, what a treat!

 

My blind drawing was very discouraging- hahaha, but I just kept on trucking. 

More sketches, I was finally getting somewhere with this little guy I wasn't just drawing Nash, but I was taking into account his littler personality, which proved to be challenging.

 

quirky guy, but not quite right- he definitely has a little "derp face" that tight little smile, it's the cutest.

Very dishevelled and adorable, but not quite right- I felt like I was missing the creating a character part...

 

I felt like I was getting closer to creating a character that could be done in a million different poses but would still keep his quirky characteristics...

 

and then we had to brainstorm - he's quirky, funny, loves the snow, loves outdoors, and is intrigued and SCARED of everything... but he LOVES snow :) so this shows his personality - and I love it.

 

I'm really happy with how it turned. Nina's classes always push me beyond what I think I can do, and I ultimately end up creating something that differs from my norm- I learn so much, and I appreciate the push and I am always proud of the work I produce in her class!

 

 

I hope you like it- This is Nash, He's a quirky little chocolate trio colour Havanese- who is very spoiled, and is at this moment begging me to take him out! 

 

Thanks for the class NINA!
