The project started from wanting to create a product that is inspired by an animal. So, I started by sketching some animals and diminishing some features but still keeping the significant ones.

I chose tiger, peacock, and red panda to sketch first because I like their looks and colors. 

Ultimately, I chose red panda to develop it further into a product.

I started by sketching some products that are inspired by the red panda's shape and colors.

I like the concept of turning a red panda into a car the most, so I sketch some more.

Afterward, I sketch more rough ideas of what I can do to make it look more like a red panda and less like a car. I changed its shapes and with more research, I founded a concept called 'automata toys'. 

Automata toys are hand-powered mechanisms that create cyclical motions. 

With the automata toy concept, I designed a mechanism that will make the toy car move as if it's a walking red panda.

This helps make the product more unique and has more characteristics.
