The largest animal in this collection and the one with the most fur: the chest, the ruff and the tail are all drawn in long strokes rather than outlines, so pencils beat markers here. Two browns close together, alternating stroke by stroke, is what gives the coat weight. The face is small against all that body. Give this big dog drawing to color half an hour. The chibi puppy takes ten minutes.
