I have noticed loads of Panda pictures are missing from this thread, this is because if a picture
is named Panda1 and I add another named panda1 the first one dis-appears.

It will be a challenge going through all my panda pictures and trying to add back the correct ones.
Perhaps I will start a new thread and just add all the Panda pictures there for people to see.
Will have a think.

Anyway yesterday I started to make some more Panda designs.

Picture one, The mouth and nose were too low on this design.
Picture two, I added extra bubbles behind the mouth and nose to lift it slightly.
Picture three, moved mouth and nose up a 1 finger bubble on face.

None look proportioned right to me as yet.

I made a cat with just the mouth drawn on so looked to see what it would look like as a Panda.
Still not right. Then all lined up for a mug shot  ;D

Just trying to get the right proportion to where the mouth/nose should be on the face.
A couple of variations on the eye look as well.

I'm liking these ones way better.

I was having another play with a Panda design a few days back. I was trying to make
something a little different to the others we have made over the years.

Then went for a different style head design. The first one was too narrow, version two looked better.
But was not Panda like to me.

I then changed the arms and added some extra Black for the Panda.

So I posted the Panda I made way back in February 2017 as tutorial number 24 onto Facebook yesterday and it got me twisting and upsizing the design.

This is the original design made from 260's for the head and body and a 160 for the eyes and nose.

I used Ivory instead of White for the look.

Then upsized it with 350's and changed things a little. Ears on the first one were
too big and I did not like the double bubble front on the second one.

So went for a 646 for the front and back sections of the Panda. But then did not like the
look of the separate twists on the 160 around the mouth and in front of the eyes.

And the eyes possibly needed to be separated a little from each other as with Panda on the left.

So we separated the eyes a little but the twists and 160 in front of the eyes was way wrong for me.

So ended up with this look on picture 8 of the larger design which I did like.

So the original design to the newer larger upsized Panda.
