Would you be happy with this drawing?

NC

I draw as a hobby.

I volunteered a drawing as a raffle prize for a local rescue.

I submitted previous pics and people bought a ticket based on that. So they have seen my style.

Orange pic is the generic pug.

This is the winning pups photo and blue is my 75% finished picture

Would you be happy with it?

I'm panicking as I've never sold anything. Just done it for myself.

It looks great! I can see a whole business developing here!

Sorry but it wouldn’t be something I’d like. Too cartoon-like. However, art is very subjective and there will be as many people love it as not.

Noworrieshere · 11/06/2020 17:59

I think it's cute. I would be happy. There are probably some folk out there who didn't pay any attention to your previous photos and might be hoping for a lifelike exact copy of the photo, hopefully your winner won't be one of those.

I knit and sew for others and I am way more particular about my things than anyone I have ever made anything for.

I absolutely love that and would be delighted with it. Lovely strong, clean lines and full of dog's personality

ShouldWeChangeTheBulb · 11/06/2020 18:00

I love it! So cute.

YummyVeggie · 11/06/2020 18:01

Looks great, OP!

Mumoblue · 11/06/2020 18:02

Absolutely!

People love personalised pet art, and if they saw your style then they'll be happy with it!

I also draw as a hobby, wish I was as good as you! Grin

They definitely knew what they were getting as the original post was just 3 giant pics of drawings I've done in the past, so like I said they would know my style is very obviously cartoonish/cutesy.

I just have zero confidence in myself and am scared they'll be disappointed, even though I think it's cute.

I did this for myself a few nights ago.

I haven't drawn in years and am just enjoying doing it.

Lockdown boredom pushed me 😂

I like itSmile

Not so sure about the pink panther with the third eye though but I guess lockdown is doing strange things to us allConfused

PawPawNoodle · 11/06/2020 18:25

It looks great - is it just shading and highlights left to do?

PurpleButterflyAway · 11/06/2020 18:35

Nothing ever looks completely right to the artist until it’s 100% finished - and even then it’ll still be lacking in some way in the artists eyes despite everyone else thinking it’s brilliant. That’s the bit of your brain that stops you getting an inflated ego though Grin

It looks brilliant, I’d love it if it were for me!

MittensTheSerpent · 11/06/2020 18:36

I love your style! You're very talented.

BroomHandledMouser · 11/06/2020 18:40

That’s pretty bloody awesome OP! Well done!

slashlover · 11/06/2020 18:41

I did this for myself a few nights ago.

I love that cat picture. You could set up an etsy store OP.

Pogz92 · 11/06/2020 18:42

It's a spynx cat 😂

I'm a goth at heart so like all things weird and spooky

EskSmith · 11/06/2020 18:43

It's lovely, they obviously like your style to have chosen it , I think they'll love it

MsMiaWallace · 11/06/2020 18:43

As a pug owner I'd love that!!

Pogz92 · 11/06/2020 18:44

Slash I couldn't. If I feel an obligation to someone or I'm being paid I just freeze up and it just becomes stressful rather than relaxing!

SunshineSusan14 · 11/06/2020 18:46

These are great! You have a real talent. You could sell them. Just do it as a hobby and list the ones you want to sell - no obligation then, just a bonus of having a hobby.

LaurieFairyCake · 11/06/2020 18:49

It's fab !

HelmutShmacker · 11/06/2020 18:50

Aww I love them so much!!!!! I would absolutely pay for one of your drawings!

MillicentMartha · 11/06/2020 18:52

I like it. If it’s only 75% finished, I’d probably like a bit more detail on the dark centre area.

slashlover · 11/06/2020 18:54

You don't have to do it on a commission basis though, you could put up what you have already drawn.

Disfordarkchocolate · 11/06/2020 18:59

Very cute.
