- I like think that the gradient style is the best as it makes him look more three dimensional and therefore realistic (as much as he can be). The opacity style makes him look like a balloon animal, which doesn't work as I imagine him to be a soft solid; made of the lollie substance the makes up the non-licorices part of an allsort. I like the use of outlines when it is applied to his hair, as it helps it stand out and also makes it look shadowed around the edges.
