Henlo! It’s the #Doggust2023 Dog List!!!

Doggust is the monthly challenge where the goal is to draw a dog everyday for the month of August! You can use the official dog list above or, alternatively, draw any dogs you like! Basically, just draw dogs in August! Any dogs, all the dogs, or just one dog 31 times! Use any medium! Have fun!

The Dog List is usually written with care not to repeat dogs from the previous years but this year we’re breaking away from tradition to celebrate 5 years of Doggust with Doggust All Stars!

We asked a number of Doggust Artists old and new to vote for their favourite past Doggust Dogs and the top 30 make up this year's Dog List! Awoo!

Who’s excited for Doggust All Stars?!

I've just opened a casino for dogs. They can play roulette, poker and blackjack all under one roof! 

However......they have to go outside for craps.

Top and Cathy

With no kids to talk about, Cath and I have a million stories about our dogs, particularly our first dog, Top. Don’t parents always have the most pictures and stories about their first born?! A German friend called Top “Einmalig”, which translates to “one of a kind”. This story, from 1981, involved Top, Cathy hitting a tree with our car, the MPs, the German Polizei and a little old lady. We were…

ROUND 1 - GREEN GROUP

Propaganda under the cut.

GoodDog Plain: "Really appealing and legible handwritten font with a fun name!"

Fira Sans: "Fira Sans is my go-to. It's nice to look at, sleek, pretty regardless of thickness or boldness. It's simple without being the same as what everyone else chooses. As a person who writes with two different alphabets, it's accessible. A true 10/10. I also really love the condensed version."

Treating the same stuffed animal like its my real life dog

Mr Link passed his NACSW ORT (Odor Recognition Test) back in Oct and was able to earn his NW1 (Nose Work Level 1) title today!

Very proud of his work ethic and drive. This good boy will get lots of treats and snuggles today.

I’m super happy, almost giddy about this pet portrait. Here’s why…swipe along for an interesting tale about mistakes can turn into wonderful opportunities for creative solutions. 💜 1. Final cleaned up digital scan 🥰 2. Close up zoom of digital art file 🔎 3. Zoom out of actual illustration 🔍 4. The illustration IRL (in real life) 🥸 5. The final presentation with a flap splash page on top. I haven’t cut/taped a presentation page on a piece of art since Don Brandes’ advanced media class back in college. 🤓 6. I mounted the water soluble crayon and colored pencil illustration on Strathmore recycled sketch paper to a thicker card stock and glued down the lavender construction paper die-cut on top because guess what…? 7. The original had the dog’s name spelled incorrectly!!! 😱🫣 8. Quick behind the scenes showing a looser study of Rhodey’s head in my sketchbook. Comparing the two makes me want to paint and draw WAY bigger from now on. Something I was forced to understand every day at college was how much more impressionistic scribbles and looser mark making can look. You can only achieve that kind of free flowing movement and looseness when you paint and draw BIG. I drew that study of Rhodey’s head in like 30 or so minutes. So freeing, so quick, & it looks amazing and fun (IMO, in my opinion). 9. The culprit prep ink sketches I was practicing at 100% scale a few days before I sat down to work on the final…clearly I was distracted that night…that pesky random “D”! Who the heck is Rhodney?!? 🙈 10. I swear I knew Rhodey’s name from the get go. Y’all saw my post of the original sketchbook explorations, right? 😳 Long story short, I would like to thank that erroneous N because it made the final illustration like 10000x better!!! Don’t you agree? 💜 • • • #PandaErica #kidlitart #petportrait #dog #dogsofinstagram #gooddog #crayon #colorpencil #constructionpaper #beautifulmistake #lifeofanartist https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqc5rshOmKM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sounds of Silence

It was an early winter morning a little before sunrise – that liminal period of time between darkness and light. When I left the house to feed the horses, it was so quiet, the silence felt deafening. I soon discovered the opposite was true. In that cold predawn silence, sound was everywhere, once I started listening. That Liminal Period Between Darkness and Light. I have to admit on most…
