Question

When I draw the traditional cat, the eyes always look too big for the head. How can I make this not happen?

Community Answer

Try multiple versions of the cat. Draw one with the same eye size as usual, then another making them smaller, or bigger, or a different shape. Play with it until you find something you think looks good and you like. You could even try to move the eye placement a little bit, making them closer or farther apart. Keep practicing and you'll get the affect you want eventually.

Using guidelines can help a lot. Doing a simple two-minute sketch is very helpful! So is guidance from experienced friends, teachers, etc.
