Kawaii Sloth With a Cup of Tea

The whole animal is built from soft curves and a fringe of short fur strokes around the outside, so the outline itself is part of the fun here. It sits square to the reader with a tall plain mug held in both front paws, and a thin curl of steam rises past its chin. The mug is a smooth cylinder with nothing printed on it, which makes it the natural place to add a stripe, a heart or a name once the animal is finished. Two patches sweep back from the eyes and arrive inked dark, and the nose is a solid oval, so roughly a fifth of the face is already decided for you. Everything else is open. A pair of small pale sparkle marks sits below the eyes, which reads as a cartoon twinkle rather than a blemish. The belly carries only a few short fur ticks, the arms are thick and empty, and two round feet with three claws each rest along the bottom. There is no background whatsoever. Ten minutes will finish this one for a small child, and it works as a gentle warm up for anyone older who wants an easy start.
