After considering whose pet you would like to draw get your model ready!
Draw three pets in your sketchbook. 1 page per pet. You can draw the same pet three times or three different pets. You do not have to fill the page but draw one pet on each page of your sketchbook. It may help to draw a frame first or draw a vignette.
Try three different mediums. But use at least Ink in one of the pet portraits. You can draw the pet sitting or posed or you can draw the pet in an active pose. Decide if the composition needs a background. How will you resolve the negative space? Start with drawing the model in person but feel free to finish up at your desk if needed. Pets often don’t sit still too long. Take a few reference photos if needed.
After you finish your pet portraits make sure to post them to Openlab. Make sure to write the Pet’s name and the media used. Is there anything particular about the pet’s personality and how it influenced how you drew it?
