Caricature of Rain

This caricature is meant to be used as the graphic to be printed on T-shirts.
Their initial idea is to have a flat colour, simple lineart.
Realised that what they are looking at is a mascot of Rain, after some discussion and understanding. However, the price they can afford is caricature in marker with theme, not mascot design.
Mascot design involves a lot of sketches, development, refinement, and finally reduce to a few simple strokes.
My clients always think that a few strokes is a lot easier to draw, and hence cheaper.
Yes, it is easier to draw - less lines, but not easy to derive.
