A Picky Peccary



I've never met a peccary, and I'm ok with that.

The not-so-Picky Process:

This lovely thing modeled for me on Google images:


He looks unpleasant.

I did a quick pencil sketch and scanned for linework.



Watercolor time! Tried to not be too selective about where the color went on the page.



On to digital. I changed the character design halfway through painting – the pig’s “mane” needed taming. I wasted a lot of time manipulating the original watercolor to fit the new linework . Lesson learned: commit to a design before beginning the painting process!



The result lacks polish, but it has the texture I was after. And if you're wondering, peccaries prefer cactus!
