Tutorial - Easy way to draw animals

01.2015, traditional drawing with ballpen

Some word about it. All of these animals were drawn without pencil sketch. It is a sketch with ballpen. While I am drawing my aliens sketches, basically I start with simple form like ellipse. In my free moments I am sketching animals that way to learn more about shapes of creatures known on Earth. I wanted to share it with You cause I think this method can be helpful.

HOW TO USE IT?
Take a look at cat - top left side. Do You see three ellipses? These are three basic shapes I found in the sitting cat. If You take a closer look to other animals, You'd find similiar ellipses in every of them. I was drawing them from reference photos (book about animals) - looking at animals and finding their "main shape", their solid. I wanted it to be the most simple it could be, cause every animal was drawn really fast (about a minute, two maybe).

I hope that You'd like this method and it will be useful for You.

Enjoy!
