For ages I've been attempting to create a cartoon version of a baby that actually looks cute... yes, I know, a weird pursuit but believe me, they're actually quite hard to draw and previous attempts have ended up looking like fat, cranky old men or seriously ugly looking sumo wrestlers. I created this one below using reference material from photos and catalogues and it seems to be getting there in terms of cuteness factor. I think it's all to do with the size of the eyes and how far apart they are (I could get into Hello Kitty philosophy here) and the chubbiness aspect. Hmmm, fascinating stuff! Let me know if you think this is a successful attempt or not and if you've also struggled to achieve ultimate cuteness in your own drawings (I'm sure there are some self help guidebooks out there somewhere).
I think you've done very well here in coming up with a cute baby drawing. I think the further you get from Rugrats designs for babies the cuter they become.
