A weird thing happened after Husb and I visited some friends the other night. As we drove home in the dark, three large black dogs suddenly loomed on the road in front of the car. Husb managed to brake in time and the dogs disappeared as quickly as they had appeared. It was a shock! It’s rare to see a dog out on its own these days, let alone three. They were big and looked well cared for. We both immediately thought of the Hounds of the Baskervilles.
I don’t usually draw dogs or night time scenes so I’ve been playing with mark-making to try to convey the darkness and suddeness of the incident. I’ve used a solid graphite pencil, 8B, for most of it, with a touch of vermillion ink. The dogs’ eyes looked orangey in the street lights.
It was over suddenly, we have no idea what happened to them or why they were roaming at that late hour.

proof positive that dogs are evil and would rip your face off as soon as look at you.
Hahaha I think my cats would agree with you:)
All you needed was a good dose of fog… or maybe it’s a sign you need to draw more dogs! ha ha ha! 🙂
These dogs are creeping up on me. Felix envy!
If it had been last week when there was a full moon …..
oooff yes…..
Wow sounds a chilling indeed! Perhaps their owner was just on the other side of the road but you didn’t see him/her? I’m guessing it wasn’t in town or the road would have been well lit? Glad you were both ok!
The drawing is very Hound of the Baskervilles. Love the lines and the orange-red eyes. Very atmospheric.
I hope the owner was okay.
Yes that crossed my mind too.
Sounds like the beginning of a horror movie. You should be happy you survived :p Love the drawing!
It was quite spooky
