I will attach the links for the reference photos below, but as you’ll see, we are really going to make these dogs into characters and the reference photos are only a small bit of what we create.

This might be a slightly more challenging drawing than some that we’ve done in the past, but the only way to get better at drawing is through practice, and I know you can do it!

In this lesson we will use the following supplies, which can be found on my Website at https://cozylark.com/ but any supplies will work
