Here is my golden ratio anteater. Check out my process below. I'd love any thoughts and feedback, thanks.

First I chose an animal, I liked all the curves and rounded shapes an anteater's form offers.

I then did a load of simple, rough sketches to simplify the body.

Next, I roughly outlined the shape in illustrator, all the while considering where the golden spiral or simple circles could be found within the illustration.

Next, I applied as many golden spirals and circles to the design without it becoming too chaotic. This highlighted where curves could be refined to make the design more aesthetically pleasing.

Next. I started to think about negative shapes which could add depth within the illustration and colour.
