Shiro

I was inspired by Kaws and the cartoon called “Crayon Shin Chan”, I picked a simple character that’s in the cartoon. Then I used Shiro (the dog from the cartoon) for the outline, after I used some structure that Kaws used for his artwork. So I changed Shiro’s eyes into X, and added some bones sticking out of his head and also changed the mouth. I think my artwork is not so good because I think it’s not that popped out, so maybe next time I’ll choose a character that has lots of color.
