Switch back to the Forward Warp
Tool. Straighten the edges of the
bridge of the gerbil’s nose, and straighten the
underneath of his mouth. Reduce the brush
size so you have the necessary control to
turn the pink tip of his nose into a square.Create a rectangular ear

With the Freeze Mask preserving the straight edge of the gerbil’s back, use the
Forward Warp Tool on the left ear to create a rectangular shape. Zoom in to tidy and
straighten the edges, and adjust the fur within the ear so it maintains a natural curved shape.Tutorial Create block animals with Liquify
Tweak the other ear

For the right ear, think of it as a similar 3D shape to the left ear, but
angling away from the viewer. Create a diagonal top edge, then a
straight vertical edge on the right.Now for the eyes
12
Apply the Freeze Mask on an area around the eye, then
use the Forward Warp Tool to create a square-shaped
eye. Use a small brush size to make the corners and edges
sharp. Also straighten the light and shadows within the eye.
Flatten the right eye.
