Phew. Been working on this for a while.

A short and incomplete tutorial of how colors work on a dog's coat to produce the markings and patterns we see, in simplified terms.

Part 2- [link]

Part 3- [link]


If I made a mistake or a typo, please do point it out @.@


Used this lineart [link] by =Arukardis for the shades of red.

Many thanks to my twin sister, :iconcomixqueen:, for both helping me on this tut and getting me into dog genetics :)

its very great!
theres just one thing i didnt understand, why does white erase off the other colors? well all i know/learned is that black(well truly seen darkbrown) is the strongest color gene, so i thought white was rather rezessive

Genetically, black is strong, yes, but as far as the way colors layer, white markings = no color. Hence white covers all other markings. White markings are pretty strong genetically, too.
