Doggust 2019

In August 2019 I took part in an art challenge called Doggust, which entailed following a prompt list made up of different dog breeds. I really enjoy drawing dogs, and I really wanted the challenge of capturing what makes the individual breeds special. As dogs tend to come in a very natural colour palette I also wanted to add some colour, which happened to be the background.
