I know I'm late to the party, but I love your Riley! How did you make his paw pads? I am working with cats right now, and I want something nice and squishy but I am not sure how to get started!

Hi Plush Puppy!
I want to tell you that your Newbie conversation really helped me take the plunge to get into designing on my own!
I have obviously only been doing this a few months, but I have done a few iterations of the same, or a similar pattern.
The first couple of pictures are just felt, no fur. But you can see how drastic the change is when a couple pieces of fabric are just folded over. The eyelids aren't even attached. Then I moved on to a more plush, incredibly cheap fabric, still very short fur. I added shading because I wanted more depth to the eye.
I also tried to make the coloring more realistic, using darker browns and flatter golds, but they made the eyes look flat and lifeless. Until I get some more precise tools for painting, I'll stick with shine and glitter!
