Grampa from Dog Man always looks like he is yelling or reacting to something, so drawing him feels pretty simple. His head is just a circle, the body is long and flexible, and the stripes help guide the shape. The main thing is his loud expression. Once the open mouth and wide eyes are in place, the whole character becomes clear right away.
Key Things to Notice in Grampa’s Design
- Head: round with simple cat ears.
- Face: glasses, open mouth and dotted stubble.
- Body: long and bendy.
- Arms and legs: stretched with simple paws.
- Tail: striped and curved.
- Whiskers: short and uneven.
After finishing Grampa, characters like Flippy, Cat Man, Commander Cupcake or Dog Man fit naturally as the next drawings since they share the same playful style.
How the Guide Is Organized
- Red Color: new lines for the current step
- Black Color: lines from earlier steps
