Animation: Drawing Diesel

So I've changed the style of Diesel the dog from the little test I did a few days ago. I have drawn him now to look like a staff, which will give him a more realistic quality, but still be cartoony at the same time.

Here's the process of Diesel! I haven't decided on the final look yet, but I'm in the early stages.
