hairy nudeness


In my drawing class we've had nude ladies and nude men (some of them were even our models). Last night we had a nude dog. This is Iggy. And this drawing technique is called 'blind contour', where you look only at the subject, not at the paper. I find it very freeing, because then it's not my fault that the drawing doesn't look like the dog.

(And, yes, I did draw his feet - about seven or eight of them - but the paper is larger than my scanner)

Actually, I think that's quite good, Cissy.

Nice job

Cissy Strutt said...

catalyst: Ah, but you see Iggy is an Irish Wolfhound. But I guess it looks like a dog. So I'll take 'quite good' - thanks.

malach: Happy to please.

Chickie said...

This looks like a Tiny Dog shivering after she's come out of the bath.

Can almost hear him sighing with a little bit of boredom as he was posing.

Cissy Strutt said...

chickie: I wonder if Stinky would pose for me? There would be treats.

pookie: Oskar is still my best dog.

FreeOscar said...

I think it's very good. It's like a dog wrapped in a blanket.

Cissy Strutt said...

cuntie: Fun! Almost as yummy as a pig-in-blanket.

AngryMan said...

You should do one of AngryGinger!

Cissy Strutt said...

A.Man; I'll see what I can do.

Actually, I was skimming and when you said it was Iggy my first thought was "God, Iggy Pop has aged badly- nude, he looks just like an grizzled old dog".

My first thought was a Confucius chihuahua with a long beard.

Now I want a Confucius chihuahua. Or a Buddha beagle.

Cissy Strutt said...

my colonel: the dog was named for the man.

pheebs: Buddha Beagle says: follow the scent, but do not become attached to the scent.

Mike said...

Wow. Very nice. What is really sad is that you drew that dog better without looking at the paper than I could have if I had been looking at it through a magnifying glass.

Cissy Strutt said...

mike: In that case, get Carmen to draw you.

Chickie said...

Stinky would be the perfect model. She only moves twice a day.

I rather like this! Contour drawing is always a fun thing to do. To see the dog, be the dog. (Or something like that.)

Cissy Strutt said...

chickie; It would be delightful.

hereT: Smell the dog ...

Atlas Cerise said...

"nude" dog? Is there an alternative? Are Australians prone to dressing their animals? Most dogs are nude here.

Cissy Strutt said...

Nude is nude.

Hello there,

Thanks for sharing the link - but unfortunately it seems to be down? Does anybody here at gingerstick.blogspot.com have a mirror or another source?


Cheers,
