            Re: @Elliot @Joe-Hanson-Tannous @Neha-Rawat @NessIllustration thank you all so much. It’s always such a great fun creating a new character, but It also usually takes me ages... any advice on how to know when a character is “finished”? 🤔

                          @mag for me the best way to decide if a character is done is if you can draw him consistently, but he's still interesting. You know you've gone too far when they're too complex to draw accurately. You've also know you haven't gone far enough when you don't see personality of the character. That's all just my opinion.

                          I think you're heading in the right direction. In my opinion the little kid looks done, maybe just needs some distinguishing features when you decide the gender. Some of the sketches feel like a little girl, some like a little boy. The design feels very Hild tv show to me.

                          The Yeti has kind of a Totoro feel to him. He's very cute, but I feel like needs a little more something. Like one personality trait that's louder than the rest? Like he's a joker, or clumsy, or grumpy, or primitive etc. But I think just one...? Love the design though. I especially like that his horns are branches! And I like the fur pattern a lot.

                          Once again all my nit picky opinion, overall I really love the design work.

                            @mag It is awesome, love the yeti character, it is innovative and has a "real" character...I love the cute face and it has really your style, so when I saw it on IG inmidiatly I knew, this is from Mag. I love the little kid, at that age all kids look like male and female so don't let it bother you if somebody says so. I love the kid, cute posture and I think girl or boy would love to read story about this little kid with his/her friends.

                                @MichaelaH thank you! It’s sometimes hard for me to decide if the kid should be girl or boy, when the story suits for both... in this case I think I’ll give it a time and decide once I’ll have more “story material” to work with. 🙂
