The Bridge: Right and wrong.

Postby nolongeractive- » Sun Jul 11, 2010 5:00 am

I'm sorry but I just had to say something. I know most people here are beginners (in case, I'm not mad at you, just trying to help you out) but the people trying to draw realistic dog/wolf heads is driving me crazy :x . I don't wanna be mean but I just can't stand it. So, I made a small tutorial type thingy to help you out. The most problems I've been seeing are on the bridge between I dogs eyes and head. Most people make the slant to steep. The angle I have up there is (in my opinion, no flames please) most accurate. I know, I know, most people have their own styles but that only works when drawing cartoons. If you're going to draw a realistic dog/wolf head then I suggest doing something like this. Not the rest of the drawing though. I know, it's sketchy and it sucks. I wasn't focused on that part though, I was just trying to get the part about the bridge across to you guys. I hope you guys understand and I hope this helps some of you. :)

*edit: forgot to add this in. There are some exceptions to this. If you are drawing a certain species of dog then just ignore all this bridge crap. For example, the Rottweiler has a very slanted up bridge.

Don't be afraid to say/do anything stupid around me, I am a laid back person, but if you are wrong or I think you are atleast please accept what I have to say, I would not be saying it if I had not researched it or at least heard it somewhere...

floating softly in the sky
among out dreams that bid goodbye
moving through transparent space
drifting through the stratosphere
and onward 'til they disappear

I don't have a tablet, and I most likely won't get one, but a tablet isn't what makes you a good artist. ;)

D: sometimes they do it that way because its their style. Like sometimes I do it. Buut, I get what you are trying to do. I agree, though, if you want realism, listen to this. ;)
