amigurimi techniques, sketching, pinning: the frog!

someone left a comment on my blog asking for more how-to photos.
i used to just go fully freestyle, and not make much of a plan. but when i attempted to do a frog it came out like this:
now, i like to start with sketches. i had a general idea that i needed an egg shape for the body. and cylinders for the forelegs. but i could not decide whether i would do the back legs long, or like big circles as if he was sitting.
so i started on the first part of the design and pinned him together. it was easier to get an idea of how he’d look then.
i decided in the end to keep them long, because then he was more floppy and moveable. voila!
