Cirneco Dell'Etna

***Swiftwind*** · 03-21-2008, 04:05 AM

This is the third drawing in my "A-Z Dog" series. The Cirneco Dell'Etna was chosen by my sister. She flicked through the "C" list in the index of my giant dog book to pick out a breed for me to draw.

Wow, it looks fantastic!!

***Swiftwind*** · 03-21-2008, 04:15 AM

Aww thanks Sam!

My computer drawing skills are slowly developing. I wish I didn't hold my pen in such a funny way, cause I'm realising now that it's difficult to draw on the computer using a sensitive tablet.

It looks great!

***Swiftwind*** · 03-21-2008, 02:35 PM

Thanks again!

DogLover8 · 03-22-2008, 01:38 PM

What an awesome drawing!

***Swiftwind*** · 03-22-2008, 02:47 PM

Thanks again!

The next breed I'm drawing will be a Dachshund, as requested by Punkygirl.

I love it!! I've never heard of that breed. I'm interested in looking them up now. What will you do for E? Or have you not planned that far ahead yet?
And and for F, if it's not already decided, could you maybe do Flat-coated retriever pour moi?

Pleease?

***Swiftwind*** · 03-23-2008, 12:40 AM

The Cirneco Dell'Etna is like a 'cousin' of the Pharaoh Hound. They're a really interesting breed, and are apparently quite rare. I'm not too sure what I'll do for E yet. I just might be able to do a flat-coat retriever. I've had some other people give suggestions for other letters. For G I'm drawing a Great Pyrenees, and for I I'm drawing an Irish Wolfhound.

Very nice! I envy those who can draw on the computer its not even close to easy.
Very noble looking dog I had never heard of them either.

You keep outdoing yourself!

Great rendering and very nice subject.

***Swiftwind*** · 03-25-2008, 01:58 PM

Thank you very much Artlady and Calgal!

Artlady, I used to draw on the computer all the time, but recently (for my 21st bday) my mum got me a drawing tablet, and it makes all the difference. It's still tricky to use, but the result is 100 times better.

Wonderful, don't forget if you need any help with P's I've got Pomeranian's and Perro de Agua Espanol or of course the latter could be under s's for Spanish Water Dog!!

Brilliant picture!

Thanks very much Briarlow!

Ooh I love Pomeranians! I've thought about getting one in the future.
