I’m making a Draw The squad for my friends to use, with cats instead of people, because I don’t see a lot of those and wanted to make one.
Hey, thanks for your submission!
Your draw the squad thing is really interesting! I’m not too familiar with this trend, so I’m assuming it’s kind like a base, is that correct?
I focused on making the cats look a little more 3D and realistic. That is to say - cats tend to be round and soft-looking more often than not. Using rounder shapes like ovals and circles while drawing them is key. It looks like you had this in the undersketch, but the lineart becomes a little more jagged.
Make sure you’re thinking about how you use the canvas, too! A digital canvas means we can change the size and shape any time. I recommend making this one longer so that you don’t end up cutting off the back legs, since it looks awkward and unintentional.
Since your friends will be using this (it’ll be public) please make sure you do not just trace over our redline, since that would not be your own art. I recommend redrawing this again with some cat references to help you with poses! :)
