WIP

So much to do. Just a WIP, for critiques.

MOAR SKETCHEZZZ

These files are so huge-ass.

So I've narrowed my character's breed down to either a boston terrier, of a german schauzer. I love the possibilities for both of them: with the terrier, I have what looks like kind of a high strung workaholic who needs to mellow out every once in a while, whereas the Schauzer's very level headed, very "einz zwei einz zwei" (can't spell).

I think I wanna do more traditional media sketches. Also, gotta start figuring out an outfit and time period.

D'AWWWW

This has nothing to do with the project, but this image just makes me break out into a big, goofy grin.

BLEEARGH

Ugh, really blank. running out of time.

Good link(s)

http://www.akc.org/breeds/airedale_terrier/ Has a ton of registered dog breeds.

Should look into 'therapy dogs.'

Maybe Boston terrier, like Boston M.D.

Bahaha, I should be drawing but I'mma sneak in a blog comment. My shattered self esteem isn't quite as shattered. I think I'm just getting used to the idea of not being the only artist around. Hopefully I'll get back up and be able to feel good about drawing again.

Still researching, but I think I need to start doing some ideations. Bt-dubs, this sketchbook pro program that I'm using is like a revelation. I've been dimming the opacity of pasted images and then tracing over them, to get a better idea of how to draw, say, Boston terriers. I like that they have flat faces, because they lend themselves to a lot of articles of clothing, like those mouth covers. However, I've also been looking at other breeds, to find personalities compatible with doctor-ing. I looked up therapy dogs, but I don't think they are confined to a single breed.

I worry that I'm behind, but i think I'll chill in the computer lab (which I think is open to me for awhile). I want to make sure that I do enough research.

Design in progress

No sketching yet, just research. Need to design a "dig doctor," want to avoid stereotypical looking lab dog. At the left is a collage of potential references, ripped from site whose names I no longer recall.

Reading descriptions of dog in the Chinese zodiac. According to this site http://pages.infinit.net/garrick/chinese/dog.html dogs are the most "humanitarian" of all the signs.

Need time period of doctor, location, and what kind of practice. If I choose an earlier period, the dog-tor will probably be less specialized in his practice.

Hmmm.

There will be a dog and a human character, the human personality derived from the dog's.

Edit: Not claiming that this is original work. i traced over these pictures in photoshop to ge a better idea of how to draw a dog.

HELLO WORLD

HEY IT'S THAT CHICK WHO NEVER UPDATES AND NO FOLLOWERS.

In my current design class, I am ahead of everyone in only one way: I have a blog already set up. Everything else? Like, drawing? And designing? Geez man, I never thought I could be so bad at something I'm supposed to be good at. We're supposed to draw shapes, then fill them in with characters.

IT'S NOT WORKINGGGG D8>>>> MY PARENTS ARE PAYING A GRAND FOR ME TO DO THIS AND NOW I STOPPED BEING ABLE TO DRAW.

I guess that's a slight exaggeration. But, while I may have some ability left, it isn't showing right now. And I'm sure an impending period doesn't help things either. I also feel extraordinarily intimidated by everyone else. Like, I'm just some retard who walked in. It's cool, yo.

This one grad who walked in was like, the difference between a hobby and, I dunno, a livelihood, is about six or eight hours a day. I need to fill in those six or eight hours. Sorry friends; you can hang out with me, but I can't talk to you. I'll just draw you.

So I'mma use this blog as my class blog. I don't wanna fail this class (how pathetic) so I hope this works out.
