Research
My research was focused on the texture of a platypus's fur as well as their bill and tail in order to find ways to simplify the animal for my design.

Sketches
My sketches started out with figuring out how to represent each part of the platypus to gain a better perspective of how to simplify it further.

Color Iterations
