Paloma- (pah-loh-ma) dove in Italian. This is Paloma, the character I'm roleplaying on Community Fusion . She's a very skinny stray whippet x Border collie mix that's also a half-breed (a dog-human shape-shifter). This is my very first reference sheet. It was hard to make because I've never done one of these before and I had to fight with PS to get things the way I wanted them to be. She should be dirtier looking and she carries around a blue hoodie, but I didn't draw that because I fail at clothes (also people which is why I don't have her human form here). I sort of like the back legs, but absoloutely hate the fores (they're too squiggly). My favorite sketch is the top right colored one. The other two gray sketches are actual drawings that I just pasted into the ref (laziness) to get different views of her. Any feedback, constructive criticism, advice for PS or just drawing dogs in general is greatly appreciated.
Sketched by hand then colored in PS CS3. Used the following for references--
