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.

When drawing expressions, don’t be embarrassed – make the face you’re intending to draw. This will automatically help you understand the way the mouth should be opened, the eyebrows angles should be, the eyes shape…
The funny faces you’re making might make you look crazy, but know you’re an artist – and artist do crazy things.
