This is my drawing for day 28 of the justdraw challenge. The prompt for today is about a very small baby thing and so I did this tiny little cream puff ghost baby hiding in the dark woods. He is super small and cute, all white and fluffy like whipped cream with big round brown eyes, little blush cheeks, and tiny eyebrows looking kinda shy and a bit curious. At first I was trying to draw a small bean sprout and less human; and that thing poking out of its head is supposed to be a sprout but it became this ghost cream puff thing after doing some adjustments on the size of its head.
To give it that infant look I was thinking of wrapped up in this big oversized brown blanket. I like to achieve that bundled up look just like how babies are. He is holding onto it tight with his little hands like he is cold and looking for some protection and I think it makes him adorable. The background is dark blue-black forest with tall trees so he really pops as this bright tiny thing in the middle of the night. I wanted him to feel helpless and sweet, like a lost baby creature you just wanna pick up and keep warm. Thought it'd be easy since he is basically one big blob shape with eyes. It took a while getting the proportions right so he looks tiny but not squished. The head had to be just the right size compared to the blanket so it didn't swallow him. The eyes were tricky too; too big and he looks cartoonish in a bad way, too small and he looks sad instead of cute. The blanket folds a little tricky to make I want it look cozy and soft without being messy, and adding those little highlights on the cream part so he glows a bit in the dark was annoying haha. Even his tiny feet poking out needed adjusting so they don't disappear. The purple thing on the blanket is a last minute addition it is more of an accent color than trying to give function to it. Anyway, here he is, my very small baby cream puff ghost thing just trying to stay warm in the spooky woods. What do you think? Cute enough to adopt or still too spooky?
