Blue Merle Cardigan Corgi (Study 28) Drawing

Although I love drawing, I never set out to be a professional artist. I signed up for a Pinterest account, because I learned it would be a good way to drive traffic to my blog. While trying to create pins, I couldn't find royalty-free images that I liked. Nor could I afford to sign up for any of the nice online image libraries out there. So one night I sat down, turned on my iPad, and decided to create my own tango images for my blog pins. Although I always had a tough time drawing human figures, I really enjoyed the process! So I decided to keep going with it. With 20+years of tango experience, I at least had the advantage of understanding my subject matter. As time went on, I've become better at it with consistent practice. Like I said, I’ve always had trouble drawing human figures, because people are SO COMPLICATED! On top of that, I can be pretty impatient and I lose concentration easily. At age 16, I once completed a very good portrait. I knew it was good because some jerk stole it. But since then, random doodles of superheroes represented the bulk of my accomplishments in the realm of figure-drawing. And those usually appeared on pieces of scrap paper around my desk, extra napkins I forgot to put away, or on the margins of my tax returns. My personal favorite was a pencil sketch that depicted Batman teaming up with Gandhi. I don’t remember the exact context of that drawing, though. Anyway… It turns out I like making tango art enough to want to share it with you, and will be posting more original works at this site.
