这是我为 Krita 的吉祥物电子松鼠琪琪 (Kiki the Cyber Squirrel) 设计的冬装。

在这之前我画的 Kiki 都是夏装的，这次我尝试为她设计一套冬装，同时依然尽量让她看起来保留琪琪原本的气质。这套服装后来在我绘制 2018 年的 Krita 启动图时得到了沿用。

在绘制的时候我还选择了一个没有画过的姿势和角度。虽然在那几年我对人体比例的感知普遍失常，但不知道为什么这张的人体比例画得还挺好看的。可能是因为画的时候没有什么功利心，只是沉下心去“解题”，画得很快很流畅，所以也对整体的感觉有帮助吧。

This is Kiki’s winter costume. The design was later used in the splash art for Krita 4.0.

I often draw Kiki in her summer costume. I thought it would be interesting to draw her in winter costume for a change. I also chose a pose and angle that I never did before as a challenge.

I was in the middle of a low period as an artist between 2012 – 2022. My sense of body proportion at the time was usually off. But for some reason, Kiki’s body proportion in this picture looks fine, and the pose feels okay, too. It was also a quick and smooth process, unlike the arduous drawing process that I typically suffered from. Perhaps because this picture was just a random challenge, I was able to relax and focus on the drawing itself, and it helped.
