Description Since everyone liked so much the last stupid tutorial I did, I made a more 'serious' one. With minimum hair involvement.

And while the Squiggly Bean does help in chibi drawings in breaking the monotony of a still character, the real (and only) solution is imagination.

And when you think that you have gotten everything out of something... Well, take a break, get a cup of tea and think again.

It looks more like a kidney, but 'squiggly kidney' sounded like a higher urinary tract infection.
