Questions answered by Kris in this session:

Karin – Three challenges I always face are:

1. coming up with ideas for a cute drawing
2. The background – how do you chose the color and what to do with it
3. Clothing as asked before. I‘d really love to have a course on that.

I‘m looking forward to your input as I love all your courses. 

Janet Graham – 

• Hi Kris, I love all your courses. Do you have any tips on how to go about adding clothes to characters? Do you look at reference photos of children’s clothes beforehand or is there a simpler process that can be used to add clothing to animal characters? Thanks

• How do you decide on proportions for your drawings since you usually draw cute characters and images?
  They aren’t realistic in proportion but there are some methods that look better than others and you’ve figured out something that works. Also how do you simplify the features like facial features, hands, hair, or clothing so that it is easily recognizable and matches the cute style of the characters?
  Could you demonstrate a person and an animal character?

• Hi Kris, I love how you teach and make every project seems super easy and doable
  My question is : how do you decide on which flower will suit a project ? For example, if you want to create a composition for wedding card, how do you decide which flowers will look more appropriate and how do you decide which other florals will look good with your hero flowers?

• Could you give some advice on composition (both floral and character/scene)? Thank you!
