How to Draw a Cartoon Puppy in 5 Steps!

Yes, even a two-year-old


I've been cartooning since I could hold a pencil.

Right now, I have two cartoon novels called Prissy Little Chloe out right now--you can see here http://goo.gl/d7WN49 and here http://goo.gl/Mkbrjt that I'm not making this up!

Am I a professional? No! There's no such thing.

Although I do artwork for a profession, yes.

Anyone can draw cartoons and drawing from my book (no pun intended) here's how you can get started, by drawing a cute, little puppy.

The best part is it's drawn like a child, so even if art isn't your strong suit--now you can pretend it is!
This one's from my latest cartoon novel Prissy Little Chloe: Terrier Trouble

Lets start with an easy one





Starting with the outline of Chloe's furry head, draw two zigzags.








Cross the zigzags with a straight line at the bottom and a jagged line at the top for her frizzy cowlick. 

Next add in her two big ears.













Now draw four zigzags for Chloe's hairy legs and two half-circles for her collar.
















Drawing more zigzags, add in Chloe's pointy tail and tiny feet.










Now you've got the hang of it.


Draw in Chloe's big round eyes, button nose and snooty smirk. 

Add in her heart shaped tag on her little collar. 

Then her nicely-filed nails... and that's it!

You've drawn a cartoon dog!

Next you'll be drawing her companion straggly blac- I mean blue, rag. Bear.

Review of the Alienware Graphics Amplifier

Laptop VS Desktop? Have both. What is a "graphics amplifier"? In essence an external GPU you can plug right into your system. Many companies have tried to release these onto the market, but sadly many haven't gotten past announcement phase. Users either resort to painstakingly building custom external graphics cards with components purchased all over the web or simply tossing aside their laptop and building a $10000 gaming PC for their graphics power needs. Both are acceptable, but Alienware and Razor (or any other company to announce one aain) give you another option: a mini-tower outfitted with a build-in PSU and cooling fan for your graphics power needs. Easier and More Flexible Wouldn't it be great to bring your laptop to work, coming back to your home office 2 hours later and gaming away as if it were that $10000 desktop? What a versatile workstation! No stray red, black and yellow cables sticking out of a shoebox or melted G...

Creating Action Scenes for Concept Art

Creating Action Scenes Concept Art Tutorial  After wrapping up my first fanart series on NieR:Automata ( catch it right here ), I would like to start a new walk-through series right here, on how I create action scenes for entertainment art. So, let's jump into it! Step 1: Reference and Thumbnails To start building a reference board, I use a free app called PureRef; it allows you to take any reference images that you like, and lay them out in an organized collage.  One thing to keep in mind when creating thumbnails, is it’s best to get as  many  ideas as you can down on paper. Don't be intimidated by that! There are no wrong ideas and it doesn't matter if it looks rudimentary at this stage.  When creating thumbnail sketches, think of what you want to see as the main focus of the scene; so, in this case, I want to have the main character 2B slashing a large machine – something inspired by an in-game screenshot. Now, with a rough sketch of b...

Time Manipulation in Game Design

Time Manipulation in Games Introduction The gameplay mechanic that I wish I had come up with first, is Time Manipulation. This is includes the concept of time dilation and the reversal of time in games. Implementing the Manipulation of Time Time manipulation is a robust mechanic. It involves non-exploitable time manipulation, with the goal of being fast and smooth, while not computationally-taxing on memory or hardware resources. The best way to implement this mechanic can be seen in Braid - an indie platform and puzzle game, developed by Number None, Inc. In this game, the world state is recorded for every frame, where the data is stored and compressed. With the recorded frames, any changing entities are extracted and mixed into the final state, which can be manipulated or rewound by the player. The player’s position is recorded and other properties such as color and rotation are stored as an integer that can be reconstructed, along with time information taken fro...
