Here’s a quick cartoon dog that I came up with recently for a friend. I’ll briefly talk through the steps I took to create the snoozing hound.
Initial outline
I use Procreate, and for most of my outlining I use the technical pen.
Starting the colouring
For the colouring I used the studio pen and set the opacity at 30%. You can see the pallete that I used.
Building up the tones
I’m now gradually building up the tones and adding different colours.
The finished cartoon
And here’s the finished cartoon again, with some shading and hatching added under the dog.
What’s next?
I put out a Cartoon Newsletter, with a whole host of characters as well as occasional cartooning tips. Add your name and best email to the orange box below and I’ll wing a copy your way.
