Scribble May 2021

[Gypsyjoe]

Joe it's a scribble contest, just post what you see. Just fun.

But what I see in my mind and what happens on paper or in this case Xara are 3 different things and none of them show what I have in my mind.

Gypsyjoe, it' interesting you are trying so hard the scribble is NOT a contest just a bit of fun so don't fret over it just have fun with it if it helps find a reference image or two that may help you.

Decided to call it a Baboon instead of a Lion which sorted the eyes...but now the mouth's wrong.

It's a Bablion.

Much better, but you lost the scribble in the nose.

Now I've walked away and returned...it's the mane that's not cartoony. Ah well. next time.

How much to upgrade?????

its a minimalistic animal - you need minimaliistic eyes - kill the eye outlines they are out of style, there because you think they should be, not because they are effective - all you need is the ovals adjusted for expression:
