@Georgios-Christopoulos Thanks. Going to do some sketches with him as well. Might just do three more character sheets. it's hard to choose.

These are all great options!

APHOTICMOTH · 31 Mar 2021, 18:03

@Kim-Rosenlof Thanks. Starting with the hedgehog.

Here is the rough sheet, printed out. Penciled the last expression/type.

My fisrt sheet, Peanut, was drawn directly on the watercolor paper, no sketching. This time I need to use the light table, for speed and accuracy sake. Time for transfer.

APHOTICMOTH · 31 Mar 2021, 19:03

Transferred. Ready to paint. I think my scanner is having problems. I've never see these strange bands show up.. Weird.

APHOTICMOTH · 31 Mar 2021, 20:25

Sheet number 4. Decided to put the sketch together while I was waiting on masking fluid to dry. Printed it out, penciled in extra details, including the facial expression. Will see if I can finish that one today too. Depends on how I feel later.

I have a feeling the guys will hate the "light baggage" but my thought is they would graze whoever they go, catch fish with a stick spear, or by hand, if they want or need to.Hedgehog is a vegetarian, so he picks what he sees.

Eh, just having fun with it.

Sheet 4, transferred, ready to paint. Sheet 3 is 95% painted, was waiting for it to dry, so decided to work on #4. Had to go to town for a couple hours, so I'm going slower than I wanted to today.

APHOTICMOTH · 1 Apr 2021, 04:13

Prickles!!!

Doubt I'm going to get #4 done, if I hadn't left for 2 hours earlier, it would have happened for sure. Gonna go for it though.

APHOTICMOTH · 1 Apr 2021, 04:17

Nah, I give up. I've been up too long, going to bed. Will finish #4 tomorrow for funsies.
