April WIP Huggs

Mandy Forte

So robots are out of my comfort zone but I am going to give it a try. My idea is that Lisa invented a robot teddy bear that gives hugs but now he won’t let go. I was planing on doing 3 vignettes is a single page. This is my character design and a rough sketch of the illustration. And feed back would be good. The 3 illustrations are her building it. Then her trying to eat then she is trying to brush her teeth. I thought of ding more but don’t want to over crowd the page. What do you think?

Hi @Mandy-Forte, cute design and concept. Looking forward to final piece.

Coley

Cute idea and characters.what if she was trying to peel the bear off of her but he was holding too tightly? Just a thought

My final project. Does anything weird stand out to anyone?

This is adorable. How can a metal robot look so cuddly?

A couple of tweaks I see that you could possibly make:

Image of them hugging on floor- make her cow lick more prominent like you have in the other two illustrations, for consistency sake.
Same image- extend the shadow on her pants that's under her shirt from left side over to right. The right side of her inner thigh is coming forward a bit too much, when I think it would look better to recede it like you have on the left thigh.

@TessaW thank you, I didn’t realize that I had lost the cowlick, and shadows are so tricky for me.
