I had a request for a Rottie (Rottweiler) drawing, so here it is. Not exactly a doodle, but a little bit less formal than one of my other drawings. I am enjoying playing with a looser style that is creating some fresh new drawings!

This drawing is a doodle, which is, according to Wikipedia, “an unfocused drawing made while a person’s attention is otherwise occupied. Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may just be abstract shapes.” My doodles often have some focus to them, but they are less formal than a regular drawing. Sometimes the images are somewhat cartoonish and sometimes they are just scribbles and line formations.

For each day from Dec. 1 – 15 (2011) I will make a December Doodle drawing and hold an auction for it here on the blog. These drawings will make nice gifts, and if you want, I will gift wrap and mail to whomever you would like the gift(s) to go. And since animals always are in greater need as winter takes hold, I will donate 10% of the proceeds to a registered animal charity.

Which charity? You help me decide! Post the charity that you would like me to support on my Facebook Fanpage, and I will randomly select from all the submissions on Dec. 15, 2011. (Charities must be for animal rescue, in the United States, and must have a 501(c) non-profit status.)

If you would like to bid on this drawing, simply place your bid in the comments below. Bids will be accepted until 10pm ET on Saturday, Dec. 3, 2011.
