[wip] Capybath time
Added 2022-11-16 10:14:02 +0000 UTCRelated post : [ drawings ] Capybara / [ wallpaper ] Capybath time
At first, I was going to draw it with grass and flowers, but while I was drawing, I watched a lot of videos of capybara taking a yuzu bath, so I changed it to a capybara enjoying a hot spring.
Where I originally wanted to draw grass and flowers, I floated yuja/yuzu(citron fruits) instead.
Since they don't live in cold regions, I wondered if they actually enjoyed the hot springs, but there was actually a study that says that when they go in the hot springs, their expression becomes comfortable and their dry skin improves ππ₯
article link 1 : Japanese scientists measured how much capybaras enjoy their hot baths
I wondered why there was a yuzu in the capybara bath. In Japan, it is often used as a bath additive. Where I live(Korea), we candied it and drink it a lot as a tea in the winter. π That's why it feels like a fruit that is closely related to winter.
It's a color thumbnail that I uploaded a few days ago, but I ended up using the first one on the far right.

I struggled with drawing their eyes for finding best expression. It's just a simple eye, but I've repeated and erased so many times lol
Next time I am thinking of draw some guinea pig... They are closely related to the capybara. Or, as always, suddenly it could be a fish π
Thank you!

Yes, that's right, especially when it comes to character design, the placement and size of features dictate a lot of feel! thank you!
