The Happy Band

 

This illustration I did as an assignment for Sandra Mejia's Skillshare class 'Draw Cute Animal Characters in Procreate & Grow Your Illustration Skills'

Character ideas

I tried experimenting with several animals.

Characters I chose to develop

Tried several body shapes and then zeroed in on these ones.

Character Turn Around

Though character turnaround was not taught in depth in this class, the use of liquify tool helped to ideate how the character might look if turned around.

Character expressions

I tried several expressions for the characters.

Character outfit & poses

Sketching out a spot illustration with the characters
