I always struggle with drawing dogs, so I decided to get a few quick studies in before working on a project! Love me some good boys!

Maned Wolf color study
Okapi and Maned Wolf realistic studies! Really had fun here, especially with the Okapi, because they have such interesting form.

Exaggerated Okapi color studies
From the realistic studies, I decided to continue working with the Okapi and do more exaggerated studies. I experimented with shape, form, and color blocking. I really had fun with the fluidity of these drawings.
