I drew a manual can opener for last week's assignment. It must have come out okay because my hubby saw it from across the room and said, "nice can opener." (As soon as I heard 'opener' I knew it was the drawing he was referring to and not some silly come-on.)
Now for this week's assignment. I read once that dogs that aren't raised with children don't necessarily recognize them as the same species as adult humans. Think about it. When you get down to it, they really are shaped differently than adults. A few changes to the lines of a drawing of a person can age the subject substantially just as adding "baby fat" can make them appear younger. Then there's positioning. The awkward splay of the legs/feet/paws is as strong an indicator as wider pupils are.
Sooooo, this weeks assignment is to draw the young of a species. Take your pick. Kid (human), kid (of the goat variety), kitten, puppy. Hell draw a joey if you want. Just make sure that anyone looking at it is aware that it's not a mature specimen.
