Samuel is another of my 3 nephews and a pretty cool kid. He's a pretty sensitive soul, so as much as he loves having fun with his mates, at heart he's a bit of a home body. The safe space of it, I think, and the security of family.
When it comes to animals, well I think it's fair to say that he just loves them all, but closest to his heart are the penguin and the axolotl, which I think reflect his personality nicely.
This was always gonna be a fun one to draw!
