QuestionCan I do this without eraser gum and just use a normal eraser/rubber?Hjklig13Community AnswerYes, the purpose for the eraser gum is not to always completely erase something, but to make the lines/shadows faint, or for small areas. If you want to make lines/shadows more faint with a normal eraser, just use it very gently (doesn't work as well), or for small areas use the corner of a fresh eraser or smaller eraser.

QuestionI want to draw a scary-looking werewolf, but I only know how to draw cute, cartoon-y things. How do I draw a scary one?Community AnswerYou can add more fur lines and bigger/more teeth. Maybe coloring it darker and adding a night scene behind it would give it a scarier effect.

QuestionHow do I draw a werewolf face that looks scary? I also want to know how I can draw the jaw and teethCaTsArEsOcUtECommunity AnswerYou can make it look scary by having sharper teeth, with a bit more space in between them. For the teeth, don't draw them as triangles, but try and make them a crooked cone shape. For the jaw, the jaw is just an angled shape.
