Description: It is time for another tutorial on an animal that we are all familiar with. This next animal resembles the Rottweiler and even has a miniature version called the Min Pin. Right now I will show you "how to draw a Doberman", step by step. Why the Doberman you ask? Well for one they are a very popular breed around the world, two; they are voted on the top ten list of best watch dogs ever, and three, because Snoop Dog looks like one as he proved to us in his music video back in the nineties. Now when I first started sketching out this dog breed I tried to think what type of body shape they resembled to a dog that I already drew. Then it came to me, the Great Dane and the Boxer. I first had to find a suitable picture to use as a reference so I could get the detailing to look like the dog down packed. Once that was established I started to sketch out the Doberman by lightly pressing on my sketch pad. I used a sketching pad because doing a drawing of a Doberman or any dog for that matter is very hard to do. After I had the rough sketch drawn out I then scanned it into my comp and started using Photoshop CS3. Like always, I include a description or informative information on the characters or animals that you are about to draw. By doing this you learn something new every day along with your drawing lesson. Now the Doberman Pinscher is a breed that has a bad rep by being misunderstood and mishandled or treated.
