To answer your question, Paradox, yes... yes, I do believe I can help you with your were-doberman.�
I'd never actually tried to draw dobermans before, so it was off to Google for some reference.� Their faces are actually quite fascinating.� The sleek, flat fur makes it easy to see their structure.� The nose and muzzle were thicker than I'd been led to believe, and their heads are quite flat on top.�
Also, uncropped dobies look rather like labradors with rottweiler coloration.
These are not shaded black because that would have made a mess of my paper...
