What I did during most of last night’s pariah dogs. I’m writing and illustrating a magazine article on early domestic dogs and needed to get some practise in. Getting dog faces right is hard! Based on random photos from the internet.

I touched very briefly on color combos to avoid for colorblind folk:
Red/Green
Green/Brown
Green/Blue
Blue/Gray
Blue/Purple
Green/Gray
Green/Black

You *can* use these color combos, but use contrasting shades or tones. ("Nemegt Sunrise" normal & simulated Protanopia)
