I was practicing drawing on my tablet this evening and ended up getting together a simple ref of a potential future project.

I now have a quantity of teal and white faux fur (Thank you  yupuffin!!!!!) and thought I'd design something around that color scheme. :D

I started out drawing the (admittedly) generic dog shape, and then thought about what different breed markings could work. I really really like the black and tan coloration found on most breeds, so I thought I'd play with that!

I found myself going back to view Australian Kelpie doggy pics, Here's some breed photos:
