Artists, Please Consult: Head-On Muzzle Views
19 years ago
General
Muzzles can be difficult to draw from a head-on view, I've found. Does anyone have any tips or examples, from you or your favorite artist?
Here's what I know/have observed on the subject:
-Generally, the longer the muzzle, the more difficult it is to draw in this position.
-Species with more pointed noses are often more difficult.
-Without shading or coloring of some kind the picture can still be unclear or flat even with very good linework.
Any thoughts, furs?

Its all perspective, but there is something called forshortening... if the character is looking directly head on, then it tends to look like a flat representation. Technically, the only thing that makes a muzzle stand out in this view is the shading.
Its really hard to explain, so I say look at an animals face head on. you'll see what I mean.
(Someday I will shade that well... lol)
