[wip] Guinea pig day

[ Drawing ] Guinea pig / [ wallpaper ] Guinea pig day

To be honest, I thought they would be easy to draw, but when I sketched them, they were hard to draw! I even pondered for a moment whether to move on to the next animal without drawing them. But lately, when I decided to draw something, I rarely stopped halfway, and  I was able to finish it because there were patreons who wanted to see guinea pigs. thank you! It always seems like a challenge to draw a new animal that I haven't drawn before. Looking back, there were a lot of times when I drew and didn't finish it in the past, but since I started patreon, it's almost rare???

Sketch

As those of you who have been watching my past WIPs know, I tend to make rough sketches and refine shapes/line while coloring. But lately I've been making clean lines for 'coloring page'. This is more convenient when coloring later. This may increase or decrease the working time. It's probably a matter of spending what time on something in the work process.

It's almost identical to the sketch. Since the size was changed or the location was fixed in the sketching stage, there was nothing to change or do at the final stage this time.

A guinea pig with curly fur!

Did you know that their beards are also curly? that's so cute

They are American guinea pig.

'Dutch' is their coat color. It reminds me of a bunny I drew a while ago.

Dalmation, himalayan, roan, tan. They're all in bunny too!

I had a hard time because they had quite different impressions from the front and from the side🤣

When I make a point characterizing them, I paid attention to the lips.

American guinea pig (dalmation, roan) and teddy guinea pig.

I'm thinking about what to draw next. It would be nice If i continue drawing rodents. I haven't drawn mice and hamsters yet. But, as always, it could be an invertebrate or a fish. Thank you!
