I suddenly had an urge to try out a new technique, and draw a cute picture of Flip at the same time. So the idea was that I would lay a dark base colour down - a silhouette of the drawing I wanted - and then lay the actual colours on top, leaving gaps where lines would normally be drawn, giving it an overall cutout-looking effect. It was a lot looser and quicker than my usual drawing style, although it probably took about 3 hours from start to finish because of all the little tweaks I had to make, going back and forth between layers. It was interesting to take such a different approach to drawing, and I like the overall effect - Flip's design works quite well in this style too. I'm still very proud of him, both in how well his design turned out, and because he's such a good boy. Just look at him.





This is likely just a one-off, but I'm not going to rule out the possibility of more drawings like this entirely. I also want to be sure to draw more Dragonfruit* characters. They're all cuties. And I spent so much time on them that I want to be sure to use them for something at least.







*If you haven't seen them, then here they are:

See, told you they were cuties.
