Doggust 2020

For the second year running I decided to take part in an art challenge called Doggust. The challenge was to follow a prompt list for the month of August, and the list consisted of a different dog breed for each day. I wanted to capture the individual breeds and give the individual dogs a bit of personality. I also wanted to make the images a bit colourful, which was mostly done through the background, as dogs tend to come in a very natural colour palette.

I took part in this challenge last year as well, which have a slightly different style to these.
