I recently decided to practice drawing our beloved furry creatures to practice my skills this summer (because I am being bored out of my mind right now 
). As far as drawing goes, I'm only 14 (well, less then 2 months from being 15 ) so I am still a young artist, nothing pro. However, nobody ever gets to pro from doing nothing! If you want to, post a picture here or send me one of a furry friend and I'll draw it. Things I am doing:
Headshot of a furred friend (not necessarily a dog)
It will be in black and white and shades of grey (graphite, maybe some charcoal, and if I can badger my mom into it, carbon pencil so the drawing won't be shiny)
Doing my BEST at drawing it accurately... I did say I am practicing
Realistic drawing (unless something else is requested, like a cartoony look)
Things I am NOT doing:
Digital art or any other non-traditional method of art, painting, etc. So far I am only confident enough to use my beloved pencil and paper so nothing else yet! (that and I don't have the technology)
Colored drawings... not yet
Full bodied drawings or more than a head and neck, although this is subject to change.
Non-furred creatures like birds or humans
Asking for payment... gosh no, besides, that's illegal I think. This is for fun and practice, absolutely free of charge. You get a picture, I get experience.
If you want me to redraw a picture at a later date (because hopefully I will get some replies here and will become better at drawing fur) just let me know and I will. Just to let the first people who reply know, you will be the test subject group
, but since I am always open to redoing something if you or I want it to look better, no worries I WOULD post a link to some of the animal drawings I have done, but as of yet they are all (somewhere 
) in a box, so I can't find them and post them here as examples 
I'll probably find them a year or two from now or something What I need from YOU:
A nice, clean head photo (no fuzziness or excess of shadows) of the animal you want me to draw, because this is what the picture will look like. Preferably make it big so I can focus on details better.
It doesn't HAVE to be in black and white, it can be in color
A description of anything you want me to put in the picture besides the animal (words, etc.)
Since I have a lot of time on my hands, I will accept whatever comes at the moment. I'm going to say definitely expect them to take less than a week each, unless I DO somehow end up with a busy week in which case I will notify you.
So hopefully I'll get some practice out of this
Let me know if you want one, post a picture with your request, and if you have any more questions or information you need from me let me know on the thread so everybody can see it. And thank you if you do choose to ask for one, I am greatful for the practice I will be getting.
Not sure if they're the sort of thing you're after. Rupert has odd fur, it's too soft to be wire hair but too harsh for anything else. It's horrible, holds the dirt terribly.
