I've been wanting to draw animals lately... and not all animals, just a specifically odd collection that contains ferrets, parrots, racoons, lemurs and other random creatures. :P I've now crossed Red Panda off my list with this design!
I really enjoyed creating this pattern :) Sometimes its just great to go back to the sketchbook and draw something completely random. Something that you don't see every day, can look up pictures & read about. This was red pandas for me. I had always seen them in the Zoo and thought they were the cutest animals there. I was more than happy to dive into the world of the red panda once again and look at cute pictures of red pandas lazing around in their natural habitats for hours. I drew my red pandas in different poses (even included a cute sleeping one with z symbols in there!) and gave them a simplistic look that is almost cartoonish. To complete my pattern, I added in drawings of bamboo leaves, because those are a red panda dietary staple! The green leaves really went well with the reddish brown shades of the pandas fur.
