Yeti Tutorial - Q&A: December 10th at 6PM MNT - CLICK HERE #YetiTutorial  Step 1 - Initial sketch People say they can only draw a stickman. For me thats where I start. Just some basicshapes and lines as the foundation for what comes next. The pose I had in mind was sort of a boxing pose. Step 2 - Form Start figuring out the anatomy with blocky shapes.

Step 3: Time to add the muzzle! Each whisker pad is a nosewidth wide, and has a rounded "smiling" shape. I've
