Re: The Pop Art Thing I mentioned

Ditto.

When I read the first comment I was actually thinking "wait, have I ever drawn Fritz smiling?" and WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT, my drawing from four years ago :'DD
I just went through my 2016 art folder and apart from that one he always looks sad/pissed off.
Damn. I have to change that. More happy Fritz pictures!

The white one in front I was actually admiring for the distinctive body shape of the Italian Greyhound (at least the modern breed).

That one and the one in the back on the right were the ones where I was glued to a reference image, honestly. I could never do that when freehanding :'D Since the one in the front was going to be so very visible, really I wanted it to look right, so I found a photo that i liked and copied the shape. Overall it's pretty obvious which ones were drawn with a reference and which ones weren't... I need someone around me to get a greyhound so i can take proper photos, all angles on google are b o r i n g

As you can tell, I like your stuff enough to bookmark it and to recognize your name when you pop up in my fic comments!

Also, congratulations, you're responsible for 50% of smiling-and-happy Fritz? :D

Yeah, it was pretty clear to me which ones were closely following an actual Italian Greyhound.

Hee! I agree 100%.
