Animal Crossing fans, you kow this guy. His name is Kicks, and he's the badass shoe-shiner of the city. You ask:" Why isn't he chibi?" Well the reason is, it is much harder to portray body language with such a large head and such tiny arms and legs. I feel like doing this will give them more.....elbow room.

I felt like drawing him because he has pretty much the coolest character design in Animal Crossing (just an opinion).

I try to learn more about clothing folds so i tried to apply that here, but ultimately failed ;( i need to look at more reference.

I also tried to shade in a different method by using clipping masks. (it really is helpful).

I also tried to use alot more layers now. I used to just have the background and main body but now i use a layer for every color and lineart. really really useful. I should do that from now on.

But no background. I am utterly terrible at backgrounds. i gotta start to draw more landscapes and city-scapes and sky-scapes, and other scapes you can think of. MOAR PRACTICE IS WHAT I NEED!!
