Illustration Friday: SWIM

I was inspired by a few minutes of a nature show about penguins I watched over the weekend -- gray fluffy baby penguins trying to make it in a harsh environment. This little guy I pictured as trying to over-prepare for something he was born to do -- swim!!

I struggled a lot with this week's image -- I had a hard time making the character my own and not a fuzzy animated bowling pin! Also, water and arctic landscapes are always a bit intimidating to me.
