Golden Retriever Puppy

I drew this puppy last night, with a Prismacolor Scholar 2B pencil. I think it turned out very well, and Mara said that she thought mine was better than the one in the book, 'cause mine had character. I had a little bit of trouble drawing the tail, because I was a little too close to the edge of the page, but I just had to make it go a little more up instead of out. I think that it looks like a little fat puppy, starting to lift its paw.

Labrador Puppy

Mara and I were drawing last night, and I drew this puppy. I haven't ever really gotten interested in drawing, (especially after an art class we took when I was younger, and I really didn't like how the instructor drew,) but Mara has been drawing a lot during the past few days, so when mom found a book about how to draw puppies and kittens I drew this. I think it turned out pretty good, especially considering that I haven't drawn anything in years. I am going to keep drawing with Mara, and will probably post most of what I draw here. I am going to work through the puppies and kittens book, then draw horses, and then I hope to draw a centaur. I am also going to start learning calligraphy, so the amount of art that I do will be going up a whole lot.

(P.S. I have been going around the house all day, remarking on how I drew a cute puppy, but mom said she hasn't gotten tired of that yet, so there ought to be no problems in that regard.)
