Cartoon Clinic - Adjusting Dog Ears

Last week on Cartoon Hour, everyone was drawing dogs again.

Here are some dog heads that were doodled. The doodler concerned felt that they didn’t look right, so I thought I’d have a play around with them.

Adjusting The Ears

Here’s what I tried:

• Pointing the ears forward

• Partially hiding the ears on the farthest side

• Increasing the size of the ears by approximately x2.

Adding A Body

I could do some more work on the head, but I thought I’d add a body at this point to give an idea of how the full dog might look, and also to show that the initial doodle is not a million miles away from a complete canine.

Today’s Key Pointer

If a Cartoon doesn’t look quite right, then choose one element and play around with it’s shape and size.
