EDM Challenge #52 Draw a dog. I don't have a dog, but my mom and step-dad have a lovely one named Tootsie Roll. We had a chocolate lab named Tootsie Roll many years ago, and when they got this Chesapeake Bay retriever/lab mix from a rescue shelter, it was impossible to call her anything else. So now this Tootsie Roll is the second of her name. Rover the cat is so called because my step-dad tends to call every cat Rover, so they decided to make it official. Rover has been kneading Tootsie Roll ever since he was a kitten. Now he's an enormous cat (not fat, just big) and kind-hearted Tootsie Roll keeps putting up with his pummeling.
I used gouache today, and am happy with some things and unhappy with other things. I like Rover and the tail end of Tootsie, but I had a tough time with her front end and face. Still, I'm happy with it overall. The blue sofa was an afterthought -- I realized that drawing the sofa protector wasn't enough because it looked like they were just floating in mid-air. I didn't want to do too much, so the sofa is barely there, but at least it gives some context. Also, their sofa is not blue.
I love the patient expression you have captured on Tootsie's face. He is thinking, 'Do I have to put up with Rover EveRy Day???'
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's true, this happens every single day, and Tootsie is so good and patient.
