Drawing Every Dog: German Short-haired Pointer Dog Portrait

German Short-haired Pointer Dog Portrait: Drawing Every Dog is a new feature I’m a few weeks into now. This week it’s the turn of the German Short-haired Pointer, who’s next in the book after the German Long-haired Pointer. The German Short-haired Pointer was developed from the Spainish Pointer by adding Bloodhounds, Foxhounds, and English Pointers. Above is a portrait of the German Short-haired Pointer breed, drawn in pencil and colouring pencil, on A5 220gsm Windsor & Newton smooth surface cartridge. All works are for sale! You can make an enquiry below.

The Big Book of Good Boys which I’m using as reference for this series

In the previous post on the Bracco Italiano I explain the background to this project; in short the internet has been polluted beyond repair for finding good reference material so I’m going back to books, in this case the German Long-haired Pointer Dog Breed from The Encyclopedia of Dog Breeds by Juliette Cunliffe.
