How to Draw Ashlee from “Good Cheese”
By Kelly | June 3, 2007
Here’s a quick look at how I approach drawing Ashlee from my webcomic Good Cheese.
1. Block out the head as a sphere, and figure out the center of weight by drawing a line down from the collar bone.
2. Roughly draw the proportions of the figure
3. Add details of the figure such as ears, tail, etc but still in a simple fashion. Notice that I’m using overlapping shapes for Ashlee’s breast, stomach, and hips to convey some sense of volume of form.
4. Using a mechanical pencil, I ‘ink’ over my light blue lines, finalizing the details.
This may look a bit weird, but you can use the head size as a measure to keep proportions consistent. Ashlee is roughly 5 heads tall. Of course, you can just use spheres instead of Ashlee’s whole head to figure out the proportions.

I’ve seen the comic and the art is great. I would love to try to draw her myself. I would really wish to keep reading the comic, but I couldn’t get back to my page that I left off on T-T

I love your work…I Read Good Cheese ALL the time and I love your tutorials….I was wondering if you could make a tutorial on how to draw the tails and ears?

This site is the best. I learned proportions and how to make an anthro rabbit in about minutes. Keep it up. (my one key doesn’t work. that’s why there’s no exclamation points)

I’ve got a big problem. I’ve loved reading the Goodcheese comics. I usually find it using google. The problem is that every time I click the google link I find myself on this weird and super confusing website called GoDaddy.com. It doesn’t even have the comic! It keeps giving me websites where I can buy cheese! I like the name of the comic, but it’s easily misread apperantly. HELP!!!

Like most of the other commenters here, I just started reading Good Cheese today while I was searching the net for random junk. And I gotta say, I love it. ^-^ The style is fantastic and the story sucked me in. I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds now!
I’ve been trying to get into drawing furries and such, but my style thus far has been a far more cartoony one than most. And I’m certainly no professional; I really only began to pick up art as a hobby a year or two ago. But all these tutorials could be a great help to me in finding a way to draw anthros. I humbly thank you for the help these are sure to supply me with. ^-^
Oh, and also for keeping me up late into the night reading through your whole comic series. That was pretty entertaining. Keep it up! =3

Ive just recently read Good Cheese and its really good because some of the characters resemble me and my friends but also its funny. I really hope the comic does well. p.s. I really like Calib and Gunther

Kelly, I discovered this site while surfing the Internet on 24 december, and I want to thank you because it’s wonderful! I appreciate the characters you created and the way they think and act (Ashlee above all), as well as this “how to” section (it’s really helpful!). I’m absolutely not a comic drawing expert, but from me you get out 10/10. Go on this way!
