Poodle Doodles 3

These were actually process sketches to one of my UI Experiments, Poodle Switch. I wanted to create a poodle on-off button, using 2D shape layers in After Effects to create a 3D look. Who says poodles can't be part of UI Design?

But faces are one of the hardest things to get right. I tend to fall into the pattern of not drawing because I only want to draw well, and not being able to draw well because I am not drawing. When it comes to drawing, practice is the only thing that pays off.
