Just a quick little lesson in cuteness or kawaiisa…

Slight imperfections can make things cute. 

Now I am not saying this is always the case.  If you look at hello kitty, she is pretty proportional along with a lot of other Japanese characters…

But if you look really close at the designs done by BABY, there is a slight differences in their proportions!  They noses of animals are not perfect, the eyes are a bit off… the cups are not 100% perfectly straight.  The graphic designer has this LOVELY style, and it isn’t 100% perfect

As for my Princess bunny,  I focused on making her ears slightly loopy and that really added to her character.  It is the imperfections that make her cute, not the perfections.  My friends Skinni talked about this in her thesis on cuteness… (something which I MUST read when I see her).

Anyway, here is my cute princess bunny!

I will be showing more cute examples later
