Girl with a Red Panda Hat Too

So here's what happened this week.
 
It all started because I wanted to draw a red panda for my 1.5 year-old son. 
 

But wouldn't it be a lot funnier on a girl's head? 
I drew one and merged the drawings together in Photoshop.

 
Since the head looked disembodied and random, I had to include the rest of her body by drawing a nice, fuzzy coat.
 
At that point, I was having too much fun to quit.
Despite my impatient toddler's protests, I continued with the branches of a weeping persimmon tree, some snowdrift and niwaki pruned shrubbery. 
Eventually I ended up with this.
My son celebrated regaining my attention again by giving the red panda a fun sized candy bar and a kiss.
