A digital drawing of a slightly floppy sheep plushie with black hooves and a smaller, pink, long-limbed rabbit plushie with droopy ears. The two plushies are smiling and holding each other. The sheep is named Snowflake and the rabbit is named Bitsy.

Hi! I’m in the early stages of making a picture book based on two of my stuffed animals growing up, and I’m experimenting with the art style I want to use. Any thoughts on this test drawing of the two characters? I’m struggling a little with the line values… but this is just a first pass, the idea is to learn what I want for the book and determine how I can achieve that : )

If it makes a difference, I want the book to explore childhood OCD via Bitsy. The tone is light and gentle, kind of like Winnie the Pooh.
