Aristotle and Galileo

Noticing a theme with the names yet? Ardvark meets these little guys as a class of little monkey scholars. There are about 8 of them in the pack, and then probably 30 in the class along with the fully grown Vervet teacher.

I want to complete at least 4 distinct designs for the babies before I start to place them on the page. Galileo here is number two, and I'm feeling a lot better about the process again. Now that I've worked out the basic design ideas for the Baby Vervets, it's a lot easier to turn them out without having to go through an endless draw-revise-redraw cycle.

I've got the first few pages of the book done in my head. I think i might try to put what I have into a fully laid out PDF "teaser" once I get the character designs I need done. The nice part about this project is that it's essentially a bunch of mini projects. SVG is completely modular, so I can use these exact designs in the fully composed page just by dragging and dropping. Each drawing I finish is another step closer to having a full book.

I can't wait to get Ardvark on the page with the baby Vervets - they're so tiny, they could ride on him like humans on an elephant!

Here's the Inkscape SVG: Aristotle and Galilelo
