I was always under the impression that anthro meant they could stand up and looked and acted like people...

By definition, anthropomorphic is "giving human-like characteristics to non-human things" really.

Can you do a tutorial for the bodies, too?

ThirdPotato In reply to Lolololoolololololol [2011-03-24 04:13:25 +0000 UTC]

For cartoon horse bodies or bodies in general?

Ooh I wish I had the time but thats something to consider for future tutorials I do! I have some similar-ish tutorials on general cartoon bodies, or bodies in general in the reference folder of my gallery. I hope any of those can help

Behold!: [link]

Hee... Horses are such bastards, they rarely look right when I draw them, and when they do they always look unserious.

I can't even remember when I tried the last time. Maybe I should do something about that?

Also: The short & stubby one looks adorable.

I really should, but I have no idea what I should do with a horseguy/girl, it's not easy just doing this stuff.
Maybe I should just stop thinking and start trying.

Omg I'm really not supposed to be on the computer, but when I saw this I really wanted to comment.

This is extremely cool. My favorite part here is the different proportions area. It's so interesting xD. Oh but dang you did a super job with the frontal view. I have the hardest time with foreshortening the snout, it's ridiculous

ThirdPotato In reply to OtterGrl [2009-02-26 14:37:54 +0000 UTC]

It's true! It can be used for any animal really; The rules on proportion are the same in any cartooning. LoL haha I can't wait to see what you do with it!
