Prompt #17 - Toad

SPOILER!!: Sir Croak-a-Lot

Yes I am fully aware that he more closely resembles a frog rather than a toad but it is about as much as my artistic talents will allow me to produce. Drawing is not my forte but I think you can just about figure out what he is supposed to be! I’m certainly no realist when it comes to my work and so have adopted a cartoon style. The type of stitch I have used is a ’Split Stitch’ which helps to create a seamless outline whilst also giving it a braided type of effect that I really like. The only problem being that it is quite difficult to go around curves and corners with this type of stitch, annoying but overcome by doing the teeeeniest of stitches. Just used three threads out of the floss too so that the outline was a little thinner. The eyes were made using a ’Satin Stitch’ to fill in the whites and a ’French Knot’ for the pupils. Once again if I have time in the future I might fill him in.
