My boyfriend said the body looks like a potato haha…
What a challenge!
anything that moves (people, dogs, cats, etc) seems (to me) to be particularly Hard to draw!
as for the comment. hmm.
at its core.
a body IS a pototo-ish shape. in fact, I would encouarage you to draw those initial shapes, softly but prominently! (the whole potato, if you will…)
many, MANY good artists have a potato like shape (or two- one for the front shoulders and one for the back hind quarters) to an animal body at some point in their drawing. keep on working on how to evolve beyond that
bringing the anatomy of the legs and shoulder into the body and the texture of fur.
IMHO
you’ll get there, keep drawing!
