Sketch- Nkuree

This is a Drawing i started in my small A6 sketchbook and finished up with a larger A4 version. I may post the progression. This came out of nowhere as i was trying to focus on my dog anatomy for the first time. I'd love to try different poses and look forward to designing an illustrated version.

About the art: This breed of species lives on a small island (right side), with a population of about 8-13. They live for hundreds of years and are the watchers of the west, called the Nkuree's. This drawing took me just over 3 hours. Pencils, 4B, B, 3H, 5H finished off with a Photoshop refinement.
