We're cartooning today and we're drawing animals. Since we've been drawing mammals, let's go
ahead and start adding their body. In the same way that we would concentrate on the
mane and the teeth, we have a nice lion going on. If we were to draw his body, we would
immediately think he's got big paws coming down. He's got some claws jetting out of those
paws. What I think of when I think of a lion is you can't forget that tail. Where else
is he going to have some bushy air like he's got on his head. He's got a little frock jetting
out at the end of his tail. If you remember earlier, we drew a picture of an elephant.
I'm going to draw him again really quick. Here's our elephant. He's got big ears. What
else do we think of the elephant when we think of his nose and his big ears? He's got a big
body. He's got some big powerful legs. I'm going to draw those. We'll draw the little
toe nails. There's his little tail. When you're drawing animals and you're thinking of their
most prominent feature, then carry that onto the body and try to think of what do I think
of when I think of that creatures body. There you got a mammals face and body.
