I need to learn how to do the happy eyes though. Charlie doesn’t look as happy as I’d like him to. The front pose was hard mainly because of the mouth. His base is a bit tubby but he likes siestas so maybe he just is built like that. He's fine. It looks great. I'm mad proud.

K so idk why it took ten billion years to do the one based on the official art, but the other one I did in like, an afternoon?!?!?!?! what the heck?!?!? I LOVE the pose in the second one, it's slightly adapted from this card but again, no tracing and I adapted the arms and the face on my own. I think he's neat, I like him best of the two, though I think it's weird that you can't see his claws really from the back. he's got stumpy lil legs from this angle lol I also started to experiment with smear–starting first with the fire (it's pretty good) and then with adding additional depth of color on the second pose. I'm gonna keep doing this, I think it's a good skill. I also adjusted the saturation on the colors because I like them bright. I think Cinnamon's a bit too pasty. I'm no longer gonna eyedrop colors from the official art, I'm just gonna have fun. I don't know how light works and I don't intend on studying yet so I'll guess on the smear stuff for now.
