This guy is supposed to be made from the same material teddybears are made, except the hook.

Steps:
-sketching
-scanning
-tracing
-coloring & shading
-dithering

Dont ask about his posture, he was supposed to be leaning on a chair.

Looks really nice to me.

The only thing I can see is that the eyes look strange. Is the bump in the right of his head his nose? Maybe removing the eye on the left side would look better, unless it's meant to be sewn on in a strange position.

Thanks.

His head is actually supposed to be facing the 'camera', and was supposed to have a weird shape, but I guess it's shaded wrong, so it doesn't look like that. I'll see what I can do.

He's quite nice -- but for the eyes, might I suggest buttons? I like button eyes on stuffed things. Gives them a nice, homemade look. But maybe that's just me. They'd be more immediately recognized as being doll eyes I'd wager, though.

Here's the 2nd version, I tried to add button eyes.

Though I like the idea of the blue eye hanging, the fact that it's a different colour and its placement made me think "nose" at first.

Plus, not sure if I like the mouth and nostrils. Might have more personality without, kind of nodding its head as it talks or whatever (if it indeed will). And I'm personally not beig on what I'm guessing are "hair plug holes" on its scalp. But maybe that's just me.

And um... The chest? What up with that? I get that it's a hole, but is there a glowy-eyes creature dwelling within?

Ok, I'll fix some of that and post it here later.

There sure is, I'm going to try something out.
