I think it took so long because I felt the need to overcomplicate it. I started with the legs' "bones" in black, then covered them in "red" muscles, and then drew the final "skin" in purple.
After finishing this, I started thinking about starting one last project for the year. This is the last day of school and it's still in the storyboard stage, but I'm glad to have worked with an idea I was confident about.
You might recognize this little guy if you're into a certain Japan-only video game. Yeah, I'm that kind of nerd. Don't worry, I was gonna give credit had I finished. Anyway, I wanted to animate something that took as few strokes of the tablet pen as possible - this egg-shaped baby dino seemed to fit the bill.
The animation was going to consist of him getting bopped on the head with a shoe and proceeding to chew on it. Nothing major, just another test of my skills. Who knows - I might pick it up again next year!
