Daily practice, 25 min

Values are a mess as usual, and I have no idea what I was trying to convey with the stroke direction. I switch up my morning routine occasionally, so this was on a day I decided to draw dogs for 90 minutes, which was really fun but also really frustrating at times. Having never really drawn a dog before, I had trouble understanding the eyelid anatomy on short notice.  Leaving them barely defined like this really doesn't work with the poppy illustration style I was going for with this one, I think. Otherwise, it's my usual pattern as of late:  reasonably happy with the line work, kind of loving the foreshortening (more the photographer's accomplishment than mine, really lovely setup), frustrated by the wishy-washy value hierarchy.
