Third Assignment: Draw about my final Project

I always wanted to learn to draw with some software so I searched this task aprobechando tutorials to learn the basics of Inkscape.

How?

  • Software - I used the last version of Inkscape.
  • Why guinea pig? - In most of Latin America the guinea pig is called CUY. In Peru has become a very popular TV commercial due to a local bank, where the cuy is a magical creature that lends money to entrepreneurs.

Tutorial for draw a guinea pig. Source: dragoart.com

STEP 1. I guess we should start. Begin by making a round shape for the entire outline of the guinea pig.

STEP 2. Next up, start sketching out the form of the front part of the guinea pigs face. You will also need to draw in the eyes as well as color them in. Once that is done you can move over to the next step to proceed further.

STEP 3. Now that the basics are done, you can finish drawing the whole body like so. Notice the small bumps under the guinea pig's chin? These are going to be the shoulders or thighs. Draw in some definition lines like so.

STEP 4. Lastly, draw in the floppy ears, then draw in the small rodent like feet and toes. Don't forget to add that nose and whiskers. Erase any mistakes you may have made.

STEP 5. Here is the cute little rodent all cleaned up and ready to get colored in. Remember, guinea pigs come in many color varieties so make sure you know a scheme before you color in.
