Drawing Practice

I'm back to drawing. I'm sorry to say that it's not every day, but it is most days. Taking the online class was a good choice. In the last week, I fell behind on the lessons. Class ends this week. I am planning on starting it all over again and going through it more slowly. 

For now, here are several practice sketches of Hammett. When he is sleepy in the afternoon, he is a fantastic model. When he is deep in sleep, he holds poses like these for a long time.

He will hold interesting poses for a short time if I pet him on his tummy when he's sleepy. He goes onto his back with his paws at interesting angles. After that, he will sometimes settle into a pose which I call origami paws. He tucks and folds his paws in delightful ways. 

He's a fluffy guy, so he offers a lot of opportunity to figure out how to capture that in a drawing.
