      One of the things I think I need to do this year is actually finish things, even if they don’t turn out terribly well. These monthly prompts are a good way to force myself to do just that, so here’s my idea for this months prompt. Still a WIP. Feedback welcome, if anybody feels like it. 🙂. Thanks!

        This is funny! I love it. Maybe since we are not seeing the human’s face you could give his hands more expression.

          What a great Idea. I like how you've got it laid out and I think the general execution is pretty spot on. I would say honestly, go bigger with the dog lol. Shrink the guy down some, and really have the dog overflowing the chair. The concept is super great though, and I'm looking forward to seeing the final version 😃

            @kristin-wauson I can agree with this one. Like a comedic cartoony exaggerated arm and leg flail.

              I think this idea could incorporate age to the human character. I think this could best work either a child or an elderly person, as both age groups would be surprised by the weight of an overgrown puppy and would contrast from the big robust dog. You can show their age by hand detail (such as small and stubby for a child, wrinkly and veiny for an elderly person), and leg proportion, and maybe even in the environment design. Thats my thoughts on it, cute idea!

                Thanks, all, great suggestions! I love the idea of making the person an old man, and what fun to draw a bigger dog. I appreciate your replies 🙂

                    Very cute and very funny! I might be biased because that reminds me so much of my dog 🙂 You have really captured the concept!

                          @nyrrylcadiz Thank you! I loved Clifford when I was a kid.

                          @inkandspatter , thanks, mine do that too. I'll have one in my lap and another will try to squeeze in. Husband call her a weasel, trying to weasel in on the attention. :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:

                          @LauraA , thank you so much!

                          @evilrobot , mine too! Well, one anyway. The second one is a bit smaller. I love that they want to sit with me!
