I also thought that dogs are popular in children&#8217;s books so would be the most handy to have practised.\u00a0 As I don&#8217;t have a dog of my own I also didn&#8217;t have a very good understanding of how they walked and acted so was good to look into this.<\/p>\n<p>I chose to draw a Cocker Spaniel dog just because I like them =D I did try to draw a Westie but found them too difficult to not make it look like an old dog who looks like he has a moustache. To start off I gathered pictures from the internet to draw from and drew some quick sketches on the computer. This helped me understand their body shape.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/31.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2570\" alt=\"3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/31.jpg\" width=\"644\" height=\"598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/31.jpg 644w, https:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/31-300x278.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 644px) 100vw, 644px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I then did some research on how they moved including going to the beach and doing a little bit of dog watching =D This helped to understand which leg moved at what time or with which leg, this was sometimes tricky to spot!
