Dog Drawing and Construction with Michael Rios

Let's draw our canine companions.
This workshop will enhance your understanding of Dog drawing and animal drawing whilst using a form and construction drawing method.

Join Michael in this wonderful 3 hour workshop. You will be guided in how to draw a dog using basic shapes and address superficial anatomical structure. Dog paws, torsos, and heads will be discussed and much more.

These skills are also fundamental in the process of creature design, game art, and character design. In the session you will primarily be using pencil and pen, yet if you would like to bring a digital tablet to work on, your more than welcome to do so!

Please note that tablets will not be provided to use in this session.


The only prerequisite for this workshop is to bring your curiosity and interest. Also an occasional "BARK" may be allowed.



If you have any access, mobility or other health issues which you think could impact your experience of the workshop, do to let us know in advance and we will aim to make reasonable adjustments where possible, to ensure you have a positive experience.

We request reasonable notice of at least 2 working days to be able to action any adjustments.

Any information disclosed to Swarthmore will be relayed to the workshop facilitator.
