Sometimes I'm asked not to even draw them, let alone how many teats to draw. I guess I figured, my cartoon people only have three fingers, so why be such a stickler for accuracy when it comes to cow teats?<BR/><BR/>Then again, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to draw cartoon women with one breast.Daryll Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12724129756643386846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25473451.post-2994756348590059702008-04-11T22:36:00.000-04:002008-04-11T22:36:00.000-04:00Yeah, I want a T-shirt with a cartoon of that art ...Yeah, I want a T-shirt with a cartoon of that art director dispensing advice...<BR/><BR/>I love this exercise!

You can also take some liberties in how you depict particular characters. <BR/><BR/>But don't make the same mistake I did on a character design job early in my career. To quote the art director,"Please remember that the cow has 4 teats, not 3."<BR/><BR/>My words of wisdom for a Friday.Daryll Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12724129756643386846noreply@blogger.com
