After de-constructing the characters i stumbled upon something that's easily noticeable, but seems to be common in all designs for animation nowadays.
3 FINGERS.
After watching animation for most, if not all of my life, i never really picked up on it. Sure I noticed that most characters had 3 fingers, but i never understood why? Was it a simple case of making the animators job easier? (I think the answers yes), or was it just a mistake that was praised and stuck?
I did a little research, and i would type it all out if it wasn't so eloquently put in another blog;

This got me thinking, i originally drew my "baby" character with 4 fingers.....But looking back at it, 3 fingers may be the way to go...If it works for everyone else, there must a reason they're doing it...Right?
