Happy Turkey Day! Since I've learned like three things about how to draw inflatables this past year I thought I'd take the chance to join the parade this year! Isn't it adorable? I hope you like it. And let's have a big round of applause for my handlers there, they really make the scene.

Fun challenges in this: a parade-size balloon looks different from a normal-size one, in proportions and in shine and all that. Also, it needs some plausible cityscape background to work at all. What I learned doing this: I should have started with my figure smaller, so my tail could be held out horizontally and still not be too short for the body. Well, parade balloons are never quite on-model anyway.
