Here are two versions of Anubis, drawn on my sketch cards; the cards are pretty small, under 5" tall, but they have a surface that takes pencil very nicely, and at such a small size, they fit in my Pen Sketchbook and are easy to carry and draw on in the car. ;)
Heather Bruton is (of course!) not only extremely talented and kind, but also INCREDIBLY knowledgeable about all things Egyptian; so I chose to draw Anubis for her. I drew one, didn't like it, drew another one, didn't like THAT, then went back to the first and got it to look better, then finished the second. Yes, I am slow (but I love every minute of it)!
I was leafing through a (bunny-nibbled) coffee table book I have about Tutankhamun, and was inspired by a jackal/Anubis statue (rather like this one: http://www.ancient-egypt-online.com.....ges/anubis.jpg ); it's very famous, you most probably have seen it. I did my own interpretation of it, more serious in the right drawing than in the left, where he's sort of grinning.
