Definitely not Edgy.

I know I didn't work on this one long enough. But you get the idea, it was going cute again. Sheesh.

Edgier, or just strange?

Wow. This is kinda fun. Edgier? Less cutsie? This one was done in a thick brown line, then "modeled" using the scratchboard rake.

Cute is Evil

Trying to avoid the cute adjective. Can I go edgier than this for a board book? Should I?

Character sketch from a manuscript I'm working on. I used Painter's digital "Fine Sumi-e Small" brush tool, which I don't think I've ever used before. It has a very nice line, easily controlled. I think I might prefer it over the scratchboard tool I normally use.
