pig #1

October 18, 2006

The first of The Three Little Pigs.

I was thinking something like this

Here are some side views. His limbs have super-strong button joints – a button between the limb and the body and a visible button on the outside.

and head on.

    Love it! Although he does look like you put him on a dieet after the drawing!

    Simply adorable!! I’ve been thinking a lot about the 3 little pigs lately too. Are you going to accompany your trio with a wolf?
