Quinn

Quinn is a human hybrid creation combing dog with human, he is actually a character I made using a picture of my friend’s very own Golden Retriever. I was thinking one day that pets are such a beloved and cherished part of so many peoples lives, so much so that they almost begin to feel like part of the family and to be with out them could almost feel like losing a person. Which also got me thinking if our pets where a person, what would said person look like? And so I created this character to show just exactly how or what that pet as a family member could possibly look like.

Using Procreate mixed with the much appreciated skills I learnt from this course, i created Quinn via digital art.

My process required a lot of layers but also a lot of fun. First I had to think about the pose and the basic shapes. Then I had to find human references to help with the dog to human transformation, as well as references for the long hair, so together I could create my rough sketch. Once I was happy with the majority of the sketch I could begin on my line work. Lastly I coloured my character layer by layer occasionally using clipping masks to bring the pieces all together to create Quinn.
