Painting a Cuddly Toy in Oils
Well I guess the most important thing about painting a soft toy like this would be the texture. You want to make it look soft and floppy. I started by just blocking in the darks and highlights. Then with a soft, round brush, dabbed over the whole toy following my undercoat of dark and light tones. Folds will be soft - no hard lines. The lone arm hanging down and the fingers depressing the soft body helps to give the impression of a soft and limp toy.
