Day 15 - Penguins

Penguins are really overplayed in terms of cuteness. That being said, I like the idea of the penguin as a flightless bird. Consider the longing that must exist if you knew that all the others like you weren't confined to terrestrial bounds....

I just like the idea of longing...

I will try to post the original sketch also, especially because the doodle that set up the layout is somehow more compelling. I have heard other artists say that all of art is trying to capture the energy and feeling of the original sketch. True by leaps and bounds in this case.

Tools: iPad, Sketchbook Pro, finger!
