Pet Portraits


One class of 6-8th graders volunteered to draw pet portraits 
For the local animal shelter. 

This is how we started. 
Drawing Pet Portraits
We practiced with grade drawings on a contour line dog. 
Student pick their dog to draw when done. 
We use a black and white copies of their dog and draw a grid on top of the copy.


LINE DRAWING ONLY
Draw a grid on the black and white photo and 
label numerically and alphabetically along edges
(we used 1/2 inch measurements)
Trace over main lines of pet and details of pet with a pencil to define the edges and lines. 
(I keep a clean copy of the pet to use later and a copy I draw grid on)

Draw a larger grid onto white paper. Make sure to do lines lightly
 because they will be erased after completed. Transfer the main lines you drew onto the pet photo to the plain white paper. Focus on one square at a time. 

Here are some examples of 4 dogs before I added the pen details. 

Start Adding Pen... 
There are many techniques to value and detail with pen. 
These have been practiced previously by students on the above worksheet. 
Hatching, Cross Hatching, Stippling and Scribbling. 
I use a combination of these depending on the darkness and texture of the area. 

Example Here of pen detail...
 Add Details, Darkness and Texture with a think sharpie.
