1 Comment

 
This is the second in a series of animals using basic shapes. This is nearly the same as the Curious Cat tutorial here, adding a few dog features to make it a droppy-eared dog. Enjoy!
Picture

Picture
Create a circle. Duplicate the circle and overlap it half way. Select both circles.
Picture
Use the Pathfinder Intersect Mode to create the body of the dog. 
Picture
Draw a rectangle and place it over the shape. Select both shapes.

Picture
Use the Pathfinder Minus Front Mode to remove the lower portion of the body. 
Picture
Use the Direct Selection Tool to select the lower corners and pull the Corner Widgets in to round the corners slightly. 
Picture
Use the Selection Tool to pull the body shape longer. 

Picture
Add a circle with a darker color fill for the head. 
Picture
Add two circles, filled with white, for the eyes. 
Picture
Add smaller black circles.

Picture
For the tongue, create a rectangle, filled with pink. Use the Direct Selection Tool to select the bottom corners and pull the corner widgets in to round the bottom. 
Picture
Draw an Arc for the mouth. Add a stroke to make it bigger. Place the tongue and then bring the Arc to the front to cover the edge of the tongue. 
Picture
Add a black circle for the nose. 

Picture
Draw an Arc for the tail. Add a stroke to make it bigger. Make the color darker than the body for contrast. 
Picture
For the ears, draw a rectangle and add a stroke. 
Picture
Pull the corner widgets into the max amount to round the ends. 

Picture
Use the Direct Selection Tool to select and remove half the shape. 
Picture
Place the ear behind the head. Repeat the process for the other ear. 
Picture
Create circle or ovals, in sets of three, for the paws. 

Picture
Select the body and copy it, then click the Draw Inside button at the bottom of the Tool Bar. 
Picture
Paste the body into the body, change the color to a darker color and use your left/right arrow keys to move the body to create an offset shadow look. 
Picture
Click on the Draw Normal mode at the bottom of the Tool bar. You have a cute, droopy-eared dog!
