Does anyone draw?

 

I am inthe process of writing a book about karma

 

 

She is my Dad's seeing eye dog and I have been approached about writing a book for kids about her adventures. This would be used as a info book for kids who's parents or grandparents or anyone in the family has a dog.

 

What i want to do is have Karma telling Harley (my Budgie) about her days work so a trip the the supermarket or down the road to get the post or to a shopping centre etc...

 

if anyone wants to give me a hand in either writing it or doing the pictures (I can't draw to save myself) then I would really love it.

 

Full credit would be given and at the moment the book would be an inhouse thing for SEDA but might go on to being published for wider circulation.

 

PM me for reply here if you are intrested or would like more details

 

Thanks in advance

what a cool story that would be for kids, my dad was blind all his life he never had a seeing eye dog but loved dogs, one day when I have time my goal is to be a puppy raiser for the organization by us, I can't illustrate but I just wanted to add that

This is about the best I can do just as quick drawings of a couple of the photos you have posted, the lab and one of your new budgies. Don't know if you like that sort of style but if you want colour I just have to buy some special blending pencils. I can pretty much do whatever you want as far as postures, etc I would just need to do some research into the way the different animals sit, turn their heads, etc.

the best you can do lol MB that is wonderful, at least I think so.

Well I have a tendency to be able to picture what I want it to look like in my head but never be able to achieve what I can see in my minds eye As a result I tend to always feel like if I had blended one bit differenty or done something else it would have been better, I'm a perfectionist

Wow! I'm impressed MB!! They are great drawings, you really have a talent

Lovely stuff melbournebudgie...they're right. You are talented :parrot:

MB you have hidden talents.......

I agree, very nice MB - got any more you can show us

You so need to stop talking yourself down MB there are perfect. What I will do is work on the stoy then get Dad and Karma out and about and take pictures so that you can then use these as a base for the drawning.

 

Oh anyone have Ideas on the bird name? I am happy to use Harley or Buddy (my new little one from MB) however I also take suggestions so how about we look at having a comp and get the board to decided who budgie gets to be in the book?

those are great MB

wow MB very impressive.You sound so much like my daughter who draws manga,she is always saying that her drawings are not right or she doesn't like them or I'm never going to get it the way I want! lol True artists!! The book sounds really interesting and I hope we are going to get updates!
