Below is a selection of quick gesture sketches of boxer dogs in motion, done in preparation for a project I'm working on. They were drawn from video reference, I spent about 1 - 2 minutes on each pose. I filled up lots of pages of these, but the ones below were the ones I liked best mainly because of the dynamic gestures. My goal was to draw the dog from as many angles as possible, performing as many actions as possible.

The last part of the exercise involved doing simplified anatomical overlays using colored pencils & tracing paper. These are not clinical studies, it was about finding the basic bones and muscle groups..

It was a great learning exercise.
