Christmas Story: Part 3 (take 2)

Let's try this again. It literally took me all day to draw the last panel (because, well, I'm with my family and you know what day it's today) but it's all good because I got it done before midnight

...right?

This sequence contains a lot of "firsts":

• Panels 3 and 4 are the first time I draw characters from a "seven-quarters" view (from behind at a ¾ angle)
• Panel 4 is also the first time I draw a digitigrade kneeling (which is next to impossible in nature)
• Panel 5 is the first time I draw a character running on all fours with a dress (meaning I don't draw –and therefore don't know– what positions the legs are actually in)
• Panels 5 and 6 are the first time I do a "see what the character is seeing" view (put the camera behind the character, pointing it in the same direction they're looking)
• Panel 6 is also the first time I try anything close to a "from below" perspective
• Panel 8 is the first time I do a "glomp"
• Panels 8 and 9 are the first time I draw a child from one species with an adult from another, and manage to keep the proportions straight
• Panel 9 is also the first time I draw the bottom of a foot that isn't a human foot
• I'd like to say 9 is also my first attempt at showing a twirling motion, but that would be a lie

Honestly, if I didn't know I could do it, what was I thinking planning such a complicated sequence?
