A long haired dog sitting with its coat drawn as hundreds of overlapping strokes and a plumed tail curved round beside it. This is the page for the child who has stopped wanting cartoon animals, and it is the only one in the set that rewards coloured pencils over markers: the strokes need light and dark to read as fur rather than scribble. Set aside a real amount of time. The puppy face is the ten minute version.

Block in the head and the seated body as smooth shapes, no fur yet.
Add the ears, hanging and covered later.
Place the eyes, the nose and the muzzle.
Curve the tail round beside the body.
Now go back and break every outline into short strokes.
Feather the chest downward, strokes following the fall of the coat.
Do the same on the legs and along the back.
Fill the tail last, longest strokes of all, from base to tip.
Leave a few pale gaps so the coat is not solid.
