@twiggyt best of luck with your challenge. So far they are really cute.

Piigvember Day 5: Nugget was a fierce warrior, ie, she bit people a lot.

Good job! These all are looking pretty good. Just a few criticisms - the perspective on the shield strap feels a little off, it's a little too round. Also shields usually have a handle as well. Google it. As well the feet and the shadows aren't quite right. The shadow would be larger or have less clearance, if you know what I mean. Personally I rather like Day 4 : Snicker. Feels like something out of a Disney movie, in a good way.

Day 11: Rememberance

This is really rough, but I need a mental health day. I just wanted to get something done.

TwiggyT

Day 13: The Doctor

Susan Marks

@twiggyt I am super impressed with your commitment to a drawing of this magnitude per day! 5 (nugget), 10 (windy), and 11 (remembrance) are my favorites. What they share in common to my eye is a greater depth of character. I can imagine and perhaps even more importantly I have more curiosity about their story. I’m looking forward to seeing more.

TwiggyT

Hi, Susan! Thanks for your comment. That's a good way to analyze these. I hadn't thought about Nugget having more depth; she was simply the only mean guinea pig I've ever had. I agree with Windy and Rememberance, though; I was a little sad that more people didn't comment on those on my social media. Especially Windy -- I really liked that one myself.

Susan Marks

@twiggyt alas! Sometimes I do miss the clarity of having a right, unanimous answer, like with an algebra equation!

Day 14: The Carrot Thief

I dislike trying to size images like this for Instagram. My drawings won't fit in their box.

Day 15: Bamboo

@twiggyt The Carrot Thief is my favorite!

@twiggyt I have an iPhone app called "Square" that will resize pictures for Instagram by adding a border so the main picture isn't cut off. It was either free or really cheap and works well. There are probably similar apps for Android.

TwiggyT

@Eli Thank you! I really like that one, too.

@demotlj Thanks for letting me know. For a lot of the horizontally-aligned images I've been taking them into Photoshop and cutting them into two 1024x1024px images, but that one just didn't look right no matter what I did. Too small in the original dimensions, lop-sided and awkward cut in two.
