Muffin Man Preliminary Sketches

Here's the more refined sketches of my top 3 thumnails for the Nursery Rhyme/Muffin Man project, and this format also follows what we learned to do basically from the Fish on a Leash exercise. I also opted to draw & shade these digitally rather than with markers like our exercises- since I have much more control over adjustments with the lighting and such, and in the end it's for my own personal reference despite being a traditional piece for the final.

Again like with my fish exercises, I really like the top one the most. So if the professor doesn't choose one for me I'd really like to work with that one. I'd be okay with working on the 3rd one as well. 2nd one I don't like as much since I didn't have a refined idea for how I wanted the characters to look- which is a bit funny since it's the first idea I really honed in on wanting to try for my interpretation.

Also again- which one is YOUR favorite?
