This comic turned out exactly the way I wanted when I first made it, but little did I know that I would get much better at drawing cats in a couple of years on account of adopting an intermittently evil cat named Gideon who is currently sitting on the windowsill and probably conspiring against me.
One thing I’ve found tremendously helpful for drawing animals in general is just to use reference photos for goodness’ sake — not everything has to be off the top of your head, and even in copying something else you can make it your own.
Since we’re on the subject of things I can’t draw well, I hope I never have to do one about pregnant woman. I have no idea why it would ever come up, and if it does, I’m hosed. [May 22, 2011]
Unless you draw them in human form like spider man and rhino and Doc Oc…they turn out pretty damn sweet.
I don’t know what you’re talking about. The horse you drew in the third panel is incredible. It might be the best horse I’ve ever seen that wasn’t an actual pictu….oh….oh I see what you did there.
Can you draw a scorpion??
marked as personal favourite because
I had wanted to do a joke like this for a long time, and I’m very happy the way this turned out. The glaringly obvious (and poorly cropped) photo, my interaction with it, the awful animals in panel 2. So happy.
