CANINE B B B r r r e e e n n n d d d a a a H H H o o o d d d d d d i i i n n n o o o t t t t t t I-02 BEGINNER: CARTOONS & CRITTERS This project challenges you to draw two dog noses from slightly different perspectives. You may find the lessons in D Beginner: Squirkling extremely helpful as you try your hand at squirkling graduations of textured shading. This lesson is divided into the following two parts: FRONTAL VIEW OF A DOG NOSE: You draw a simple frontal view of a dog nose, while being challenged to rely on visual skills rather than text instructions. ANGULAR VIEW OF A DOG NOSE: People who love dogs simply can’t resist that adorable tilt of their heads as they look at your face and listen attentively. Naturally, when the head is tilted, the nose must also be drawn at an angle. Suggested drawing supplies include good quality white drawing paper, graphite pencils, kneaded and vinyl erasers, and a pencil sharpener. 12 PAGES – 28 ILLUSTRATIONS This project is recommended for artists from age 12 to adult, as well as home schooling, academic and recreational fine art educators.

The initial sketch lines throughout Steps 1 to 4 establish proportions. A Sketch is a simple drawing that captures the integral aspects of your subject quickly and efficiently. Proportion is the relationship in size of one component of a drawing to another or others. STEP 1 STEP 2 The sketch lines and the outlines look dark in many of my illustrations. However, in reality they are so light that I can barely see them. I have made them look darker in a computer program so you can see them. Keep your lines very light by pressing very gently with your pencil (I used an HB). No matter how careful you are, accidents do happen, and you may need to erase sections you aren’t happy with.

STEP 5 STEP 6 The faint lines used to indicate the fur above and below the nose are ragged and uneven, and are also various lengths and thicknesses. As you sketch, constantly check the relationships of lines and spaces to one another. Note whether the sizes and proportions are accurate, and adjust as needed. Pay close attention to the shapes created by the spaces. STEP 7 STEP 8 As you complete each step, compare your drawing to mine to make sure you haven’t missed something. If you’re not happy with some of the lines you draw, simply erase that section, redraw the lines, and keep on going.

Your speed will automatically improve the more you practice. Don’t forget that you can turn your sketchbook around as you draw. STEP 15 Always place a piece of clean paper under your hand as you draw. Each time you work on a new section, remember to move your paper so it’s always under your hand. This prevents you from smudging your drawing, and protects the paper from the oils in your skin. Remember, learning to see as an artist is the very foundation of drawing.

Squirkling is an easy method of shading, in which randomly drawn curved lines (called squirkles) combine squiggles and scribbles with circles to create textured values. Texture is the surface detail of an object, as defined in a drawing with various shading techniques. The senses of touch and sight help identify the surface texture of drawing subject. Values are the different shades of gray created when you draw by varying both the density of the shading lines, and the pressure used in holding various pencils. Before you begin shading, use your kneaded eraser to lighten your lines until they are so light that you can barely see them. STEP 17 Consider using the following pencils: 2H - primary highlight (A highlight is the brightest area of a form where light bounces off its surface and is usually the section closest to the light source) HB - highlights on the nostrils and the light values surrounding the primary highlight. 2B - darker shading in the shadow sections 4B - darkest values inside the nostrils Keep in mind that you can achieve a full range of different values with squirkling by using various pencils, and by varying the density of the lines and the pressure used in holding your pencils.

E-mail bhoddinott@hoddinott.com Web sites http://www.finearteducation.com and http://www.drawspace.com -7 - STEP 18 A full range of values gives contrast between the light and the shadow areas. Contrast refers to the comparison of different values when put beside one another, and an invaluable tool for heightening the effects of composition. A combination of dots and tiny squirkle lines provides the fun texture to all sections of the nose. To make a section darker simply add more squirkling lines. To lighten a section, pat it very gently and carefully with a kneaded eraser that is molded to a point. Examine the nose you just drew as part of a drawing of a Jack Russell named Isaac. Sign your name, put today’s date on the back of your drawing, and put a big smile on your face! Continue on to the next section and try your hand at drawing a dog nose from an angle, which is slightly more challenging.

Naturally, when the head is tilted, the nose is also drawn at an angle. ILLUSTRATION 02-01 1. Lightly sketch the shape of a dog nose at an angle. Take note of how the nostril on the right is considerably higher than the other. Also, the lines outlining the overall shape of the nose are at an angle rather than horizontal and vertical. ILLUSTRATION 02-02 2. Redraw the outline of the nose with nice neat lines. Take note of the shape of the lower part of the nose and the v-shape in the center of the very bottom section. ILLUSTRATION 02-03 To keep your drawing neat, erase the rough sketch lines as you complete each section. 3. Add the outlines of the nostrils.

These crescent shapes will be left very light to help make the noses look three dimensional. ILLUSTRATION 02-05 5. Add two circular shapes as highlights on the main section of the nose. These sections will be lighter than the rest of the nose to help make it look shiny. ILLUSTRATION 02-06 6. Use HB and 2B pencils, and graduated squirkling, to shade the various values. The light source is from the upper left. As you add more shading, remember that the values need to be slightly lighter on the upper left, closer to the light source.

Add a combination of dots and tiny squirkles below the nostrils and on the main section of the nose. 8. Use a 2B to add darker shading to the sections in shadow. 9. Fill in the nostrils with a 4B. ILLUSTRATION 02-08 I prefer to leave the gorgeous texture of squirkles on a dog’s nose, without blending. However, if you’d like to try blending continue on! Blending is the process of rubbing shading lines with a blending tool (such as tissue or paper towel) to evenly distribute the drawing medium over the surface of the paper, thereby achieving a silky smooth graduation of values. 10. Gently blend the lighter sections of shading with a Q-tip or Kleenex. [...]...
