Realistic Pig and Cartoon Pig Drawings
I drew these in my animal croquis book. The croquis book contains a realistic drawing. Beside the drawing, the sketch is broken down into four basic steps.
I used those steps to draw the realistic-looking pig at the top. To put her in a natural setting, I added short lines to indicate the ground, a few blades of grass, a trough and some water dripping from the pig's mouth. Finally, I put a lot of tone on the pig by using various pencil stokes.
To create the cartoony pig on the bottom, I exaggerated the body, the snout and added three points along the bottom of the mouth to show sharp teeth. I also put a bigger smile on the pig to show that it she is enjoying her meal.
**Note from Kerry:
Thanks for these Jim, they are so cool! Also, thanks for taking the time to give us the details of how you went about the drawings. It sure is appreciated.
