Since copying seems to be something I'm half decent at, I thought I'd try and copy a cartoon baby.
Using this as a guide:
(originally seen here), I give you this:
I'm embarassed to admit, it was a long journey. Here are the stepping stones I took.

Quick and dirty
Spurred on by a little prodding from Matt I'm posting two quick scribbles.
The first one in honour of the TV show my daughter can not see often enough. (With humble apologies to Chuck Jones)
The second one inspired by this year's brilliant Pampers seasonal commercial positioned in the spot.
You'll notice that when I copy other people's cartoon creations, they look pretty cartoony. However, when I try and take a real-life image and make it cartoony it always ends up looking more sketchy than cartoon-like. (For example, compare the above with Matt's excellent baby post.) Must resist the tendency towards realism!
