Updated original post with 2nd sketch

Hate to say it Carlos after all your work on this, but I prefer the 3/4 view, more weight to the image, and charm... I do like the beard changes in the new piece. Kind of has a back end of the sleigh effect to it...
-
@Bobby-Aquitania that's okay, I'm still playing with the idea. Better to make the mistakes now then when I'm finishing up the piece. I've worked some pieces to death when a couple of sketches would have saved me hours of frustration. Thanks for the feedback!!
-
watched your video...really cool!! I've never seen vector done before. I admit, i like the 3/4 view better as well. I think if you have his beard disappearing under the bag and popping out it will help the look that it's supporting the bag
-
I like the 3/4 view as well. It seems more dynamic. Who thought that Santa's beard would come in handy.

Updated with 3rd Sketch!!
-
Updated with Painting Stage. It's my very first time painting. So hard!!!
-
@Lynn-Larson thanks for watching the video. great suggestion on beard disappearing then popping out behind bag!!!
-
Updated with finished painting. My first digital painting!!! So much to learn but happy with it. Thank you all for your feedback really helped.
-
Nailed it with the beard!! dayum, you're fast lol
-
@carlossketches Congrats on finishing your first digital painting! Great achievement....I'm glad you re-worked it to keep the 3/4 view and added the extra length to the beard. It's got a nice appealing style overall...time to do a second piece now!
-
LOL. I love the idea.
-
So funny! Great job!
-
the idea is very fun! I like your first image and last sketch.

@Dulcie a second piece!! i think I will, but maybe not for 3rd Thursday. Took some pictures of a toy train at work, I think I'll use that as reference.
thanks for the encouragement.
