How to draw a sheep (2 kinds!)

Posted by How-To | Posted in Animals, For Beginners | Posted on 26-09-2009

A cartoon sheep is the easiest thing to draw – a sheep is basically a circle for the head, 2 ears, and one cloud for a body. Oh yes, and legs, and maybe a tail. That’s it.

I’ll show you now 2 kinds of sheep which are extremely easy to draw, and are actually a very good thing to start with when learning how to draw.

Final images:

Sheep No. I – The fluffy cloud sheep

This is an innocent sheep, cotton – fluffy. My sheep has a gazing sad look in her eyes, but you can replace that easily with  a happy look just by creating bigger eyes with white area in them.

How to draw a cute piggy

Posted by How-To | Posted in Animals | Posted on 26-09-2009

Cartoon tends to make the weirdest, hairiest snorting animals look really cute. This doesn’t apply to cats, which are cute anyway, of course.

So this time we’re gonna draw a really cute pink piggy! the method will be free doodling, so it might take a few tries to create each line just right, but remember that it’s still doodling > incomplete lines and shapes are really ok, and actually makes the cartoon look great.

This will be the final image:

I always start with the head: create 2 circles, one inside the other. The inside circle will be the nose. Then, draw the ears just above the nose, and the eyes in both sides of it. Add 2 nostrils and a mouth – in any expression you like.

My sister has a thing with cats. Well, I do to – 2 of this kind are running around my house as we speak. But she’s got something with a specific kind of smiling cats, which I’ll  show you at the end of this post…

  • To draw the cat we’ll use a very common method of drawing – creating circles and shapes as a base for the final drawing, and then removing unneeded lines and adjusting others, to get the final drawing.
  • Since we’ll be drawing and than deleting lines, I recommend using a pencil :)

Creating the base – Body Building

Draw a circle for the head, and a rounded shape for the body. Notice that the bigger body shape gets smaller as it gets closer to the head shape.
