A friend in high school was a fantastic artist. Whenever they had a spare moment, you’d see them doodling people and places and animals or just tessellating. But there was one thing they could never draw, monkeys.
Monkey faces are just too close to a human’s, so their instincts led them to draw cute little monkeys with the faces oddly close to children. It really ate away at them, until they finally managed to overcome their issue with practice. Number 5 reminded me of that. Though it seems more intentional
Something I've always wondered: Were medieval artists really that bad? Or was it just a very strict style everyone had to follow because, I dunno, church?
I believe it's because almost all of their training would be in drawing people and objects... and they were still struggling to do that accurately. You tell a person like that to draw a dog and they are going to draw a furry object with a human face, since they didn't really study the features of dogs.
#6 looks like the first known use of the AWOOOOGAAAA eyes.
I can hear it in my head

A solid 5. I will not be taking questions.
Strong 1 vibes today
Definitely a 5. I don’t know why I’m so certain. But I am.
1, 5, and oddly 9 speak to me. 🐶

They drew people and objects badly as well...
I said the exact same thing?
Oh sorry! I misread, that you just meant that that was the reason they were bad at drawing dogs.
All good, was just confused.
number 7 looks like he's getting high on a cat shaped bong
Yeah, I almost said 7 because I thought it was a dog playing bagpipes and I've been enjoying playing music today, but then I looked closer
3 or 9
I thought these were from Where The Wild Things Are
Reverse cynocephali: instead of dog-headed humans they're human-headed dogs.
Somewhere between 2 and 3.
