You don't want to know what suprised him...

Last week I was challenging myself to do something “cute”, it’s tougher than I thought, but I think I got a lot closer to the mark with this one.

I didn’t spend too much time on this, I try to keep some of these projects loose and focus on learning. I tried a lot of approaches using simple geometric shapes:

A Rectangle Elephant
An all round elephant
etc.

In the end I went with something which is more my style, it felt good. I experimented with different ways of painting this, I like how it turned out. I didn’t want to spend too much time on it, so I focused on simple low and highlights to bring out some shape. Also I did a real quick greenery background.

I think I’ll try my hand at some more animals, see how it goes. I had a lot of fun with this one.
