| Yes, though he's not the only example you'll find in animation media, you'll find the stereotype in everything. More Varied Examples
(Ok, more of a square around the middle but no one said the waist always has to be skinny-- the square is a common shape just like the triangles, but i cant go over all of them.)
Though it's not limited to humans;
(mmm yes, the epitome) It's not something done to make you notice it, it's more a subconscious representation of what the character is and their role in the narrative; Bravo is kind of a bad example because his physical qualities are over exaggerated for the purpose of irony and to show just how empty his life and intellectual qualities actually are, but it can be more subtle, it's just a bad place to take reference from because you'll learn the stereotype is to induce ridicule when it's absolutely not. I'm still building knowledge of these things, i'm vaguely aware of squares and circles and such being used to make characters but I wouldn't be able to say much about it. BUT AGAIN! I wouldn't jump into this shapes stuff till you've mastered normal human anatomy and proportion. There's very many degrees of realism to cartoon and you'll only harm yourself by tackling cartoons first (Like I did) instead of working from the fundamentals to the ... fun. At least now I hope you'll be able to see the shapes that make up the characters you play and see so that when you get to that level where you want to make characters who physically represent their personalities, you'll have a huge mental library to pull from. |

| The drawing of a mouse swimming underwater, or rather just floating there. She is lost.  |

| could i get critique on this ??  i'm a new artist !! i'm trying to work on shading and human anatomy more since i draw animals a lot |

Cloudoflames a dit : The snout is way too far into the mouses head. Real mice have a very small snout which curve at the bottom of the nose down into their throat. If anything, you've made the snout belong to a dog, and the rest of the body belong to a mouse - a pretty common mistake in this community. The only way that snout would work is if the mouse is facing forwards. The ear farthest away curves in too quickly to the mouses head, which is not symmetrical to the ear closest. You would either have to change the closest ear to curve in quicker, or change the farthest ear to be more round (I would go for the latter, since it's an easy mistake to fix). The leg closest is too small. At this perspective, that leg should be longer than the one in the background. Given the way it's drawn, there is no motion to indicate that the leg closest is moving, hence why it looks very out of place. Remember that the closer something is, the bigger it will be. |

| ^^ Thank you!! I fixed some things to it but I don't think the legs still look quite right yet :/ also do you think the bow on the head looks correct? I was trying to make it go backwards like it was being pushed since she's swimming forwards. Also I couldn't find any references for the bow so I kind of winged it. I couldn't find any references because I had no idea what to search up, everything I searched gave me wrong images.  |

Cloudoflames a dit : I fixed what I saw was really sticking out to me.  |

 Could I get some critique on anatomy + design consistency? (Of the fur, the mask doesnt have a set design yet) |

Griffincraft a dit : The anthro drawing: the arm closest is too thin, and should have some sort of fat in there, instead of just bone and muscle. Looks very disproportionate to the legs. The leg furthest away looks bigger than the leg closest, so a leg fix on either would look better. The weird strand of hair on the tail isn't really a thing that happens with cats. It looks wrong and out of place. Even so, it wouldn't be able to stand upright like that on its own, as it owns virtually no base. Other than that, everything else seems fine. |

 I feel like there's something off about this picture, any critique is fine. |
| | ||
Pluppyz a dit : The head seems a little big for the body, unless you were going for a chibi style? The neck is also too long. Mice heads go into the body quite quickly, and the neck would only show if a mouse is stretching far! |

| Did a new OC (off topic again) Please don't point out the face/eyebrows, I know that I need to improve on that. Just the rest please (head/body/shading/clothes whatsoever)  |
