      @ajillustrates thank you so much.

      @Larue I need to come up with stories that making sense to have animal as main character :-).

      @Nyrryl-Cadiz thank you!

      @Gary-Wilkinson I must have watched all peppa pig several times during the lock down time. I have a 4 year old home.

      @mag thank you. i think I might keep one color tone for the pig, and keep the contrast with the colourful paint. I like that aspect of the drawing as well.

          He's great. His expression makes me have a narrative in my head saying "Oh Albert, what have you done this time?" 😨

            I always struggle drawing character turn around. This was a really good excise. Here is my attempt so far to get different pose looking right for Albert.

            Do you guys think the angle E, F can pass as "neutral post back, 3/4 view"?

            Right now I feel the character drawing is not quite consistent yet. which pig does really off? which pig is your favourite one (I try to pick one pig, and adjust the rest pose based on the one)?

                  @xin-li So cute! A, D, E and H are my favorites.

                  The consistency seems pretty good to me so far, but the forehead on C and D might be protruding more than I would expect based on the other sketches (getting nit-picky, though). I'm not really sure what to say about E and F being neutral poses--they look good to me, but they might be pushing it a bit. So if you're worried, you might pull them back a little.

                  Looks great so far! Looking forward to see him finished!

                    @Katie-Kordesh thank you so much. I always get a lot more excited working on non-client projects.
                    @miranda-hoover thank you so much for taking the time to check with consistency. I will work on the C and D. Not sure if I will manage to finish on time. I am really slow when drawing characters. hehe... But I could make a fun summer digital postcard with this character. Maybe! 🙂

                        Progress so far :-).
                        I do not think the character consistency is to the spot. I could have spent more time to polish that. But I really love the process of making the final art for this. I made the drawing with pencil, and coloured it digitally. Which version do you prefer, the grey pig, or the brown pig?

                              @xin-li I like the brown colour. I think it compliments with the paint (if that makes sense)

                                @xin-li They are both nice, but I like the brown one better.
