          Hate to say it Carlos after all your work on this, but I prefer the 3/4 view, more weight to the image, and charm... I do like the beard changes in the new piece. Kind of has a back end of the sleigh effect to it...

            @Bobby-Aquitania that's okay, I'm still playing with the idea. Better to make the mistakes now then when I'm finishing up the piece. I've worked some pieces to death when a couple of sketches would have saved me hours of frustration. Thanks for the feedback!!

              watched your video...really cool!! I've never seen vector done before. I admit, i like the 3/4 view better as well. I think if you have his beard disappearing under the bag and popping out it will help the look that it's supporting the bag

                I like the 3/4 view as well. It seems more dynamic. Who thought that Santa's beard would come in handy.

                            @carlossketches Congrats on finishing your first digital painting! Great achievement....I'm glad you re-worked it to keep the 3/4 view and added the extra length to the beard. It's got a nice appealing style overall...time to do a second piece now! 😉

                                    @Dulcie a second piece!! i think I will, but maybe not for 3rd Thursday. Took some pictures of a toy train at work, I think I'll use that as reference.

                                    thanks for the encouragement.
