Pinky Redesign

in Draw A Dayyesterday

I made some tweaks on my older version of Pinky the piglet from the Pinky and Spiky comics. I want to give her more structure and personality.

Here is a quick breakdown those changes:

  • Brow Ridge: Adding that slightly defined bump on the forehead gives her face more depth and expressiveness. It makes her feel less like a flat cartoon and more like a 3D character head.
  • Fuller Jaw: This balances out the top-heavy feel of the ears and snout nicely. It grounds her expression and makes the smile feel natural and less weird of a smirk.
  • Heels: Giving her footwear that distinct heel shape adds a touch of attitude and improved posture. It elevates her silhouette compared to the rounder, lumpier boots in the original draft.

I think it is a lot tighter and more deliberate looking at the finished look. I have been thinking whether to keep the original yellow coat/green scarf palette for this updated look or maybe go for something autumnal...

This is the final draft with autumnal colors, I think I am leaning towards this for now. Oh before I forget I added some cream buttons on her coat for extra fun details and her hands with a small line added to define her hooves. It is not that obvious though.

I put the three images together: figure 1 is the original figure 2 revised with bright colors figure 3 has autumn colors. I need your help which color palette suits Pinky best let me know in the comments .
