This took me a while to get to this sketch. I had so much trouble figuring out this angle and what angle I wanted to work with in the first place. half way through I had to edit the sketch to make the rear larger as I wanted to work with something more foreshortened and closer. I also wanted to make the pose less subtle, something I was unsure about as not everyone is a fan of canine anatomy. this sketch had me waking up 3 hours after midnight just to work on a paw. used a lot of reference but slowly built up to this final shape bit by bit. I still want to sketch the fur pattern before I start painting so that I know what it is that I want. I also plan on a darker image so I am going to try low key or at least low light lighting, like chiaroscuro I suppose. this is a style I am a little intimidated of but I must practice lighting!
Let me know what you think! critiques and stuff are helpful.
