Holy Husky!

This was supposed to be last week's drawing but for whatever reason, Google decided to lock me out of my account and wouldn't let me sign into my blog for a good few days, hence the double blog posts for this week. 

I am pretty much obsessed with Huskies. Actually, I'm obsessed with all dogs in general. Dogs have always been a part of my life and I haven't ever met a dog I didn't like. Sure, some dogs may not have liked me but I get all too excited when I see a dog. I am convinced that I will have many dogs once I have my own place...and I can't wait!

I was inspired to draw a Husky (for last week) because my boyfriend and I have recently been addicted to watching cute puppy videos on YouTube together. We love to watch puppies play-fighting with cats, trying to bark, playing with babies, chasing toys, and on and on and on. YouTube is a great place to get lost for awhile and just watch cute animals. My boyfriend, Mike, has a huge love for dogs as I do but has never owned a dog ever which I find downright unacceptable. He may be a bit more obsessed with Huskies than I am however I am crazy about dogs in general that I'm sure I beat him. 

Even though I didn't use many colors in this drawing, I find that the more basic I am with my colors, the more perfect I want the drawing to be. As you can tell I used mostly black for this lil' puppy.

He's taking shape! Drawing a Husky really made me want to hold one so bad. They're BEAUTIFUL dogs!

Puppies with blue eyes--so adorable! I think I could've spent more time on his eyes but since this was a sort of basic drawing of a Husky puppy, I didn't put as much effort as I would a more complicated drawing. 

The final product! If this drawing could come to life that would be wonderful. Husky puppies are absolutely adorable.

Once I showed this drawing to my boyfriend he was so excited that I decided to draw this little puppy. He tells me all the time that one day we are going to have a Husky and I believe him. Little does he know that we're going to have lots of dogs--not just a Husky! ;) Overall, I think this drawing turned out well and I am still enjoying using my pencils. Sharpening them regularly has been key and I'm glad that they haven't run down very fast like regular colored pencils. The lead quality is amazing in Prismacolor pencils. I can't recommend them enough.
