1. August - is a combination of 12 art challenges, let's start August strong. It is ink and copic markers, about A5 size.

2. Basenji - is an interesting dog breed and the second prompt for Doggust. This is a digital drawing using Procreate, it took about 90 minutes to draw.

 

5. Danish swedish farm dog - is a very common dog here in Skåne, maybe because this is wheer they came from. It is the fifth prompt for Doggust. This is a digital drawing using Procreate, it took about 2 hrs to draw.

 

Ice cream potion in the garden - is a new challenge I found today, Sweet'N'Spooky, and I used dice to combine the prompts. It is ink and copic markers, about A6 size.

 

6. Pondcrastinator / wedding - being a procrastinator when it comes to your own wedding may not be the most comfortable situation. This is a combination of Spirimal frog challenge and Artistryink. It is ink and copic markers, about A5 size.

 

Chip - was the first animal I really connected with, he was a very sassy pomeranian that we got in 1983 when I was 13. Since it is Doggust, I think it was time to draw him. This is a digital drawing using Procreate, it took about 4 hrs to draw.

 

Vampire pie - on a farm (check second picture), I have combined one more from Sweet'N'Spooky using my 12 sided dice. This is another digital drawing using Procreate.

Then comes the farm...

 

13. Hovawart - I know a couple of people who has this breed of dog, it is the 13th prompt for Doggust. This is a digital drawing using Procreate, it took about 2½ hrs to draw.

 

Colour palette - TheTuesdayCollective this week challenged me to use a limited palette, so I made a sunflower for LumiDrawGust. This is a digital drawing using Procreate, it took about 2 hrs to draw.

 

17. Emotional support pebble - don't worry, use your imagination for better things. For Oddgust. This is an A4 watercolour with text added digitally afterwards.

 

Lion - TheTuesdayCollective this week had the theme "Lion", I made an A4 sized watercolour.

 

21. Toadally extra - dance - let's be positive and enjoy the moment when we find something beautiful. This is a combination of Spirimal frog challenge, Artistryink, Oddgust and Sarcastic lettering challenge. It is ink and copic markers with digital text, about A5 size.

 

Bow tie and cake - this one is both for Caturdays and Artistryink. It is ink and copic markers about A5 size.

 

Gladiolus - TheTuesdayCollective this week have the theme "Gladiolus", I made a mirrored digital drawing in Procreate.

 

24. Pumi - I don't think I have ever seen this breed of dog, they look like a lot of fun. Pumi is the 24th prompt for Doggust and I'm posting it late. This is a digital drawing using Procreate, it took about 2½ hrs to draw.
