The first sketch of "Cheburashka" of 1968 shows how painful was the process of hatching this image: shortening the legs, cutting off the tail, but ears were becoming bigger and bigger. And the eyes were becoming more and more heartwarming , like those of a helpless child.
"Sluggish child you want to hold in your hands" - this is what the artist tried to make the hero look like

The artist didn't have any difficulties with the image of Shapoklyak - such eccentric old ladies of the last century were familiar to Shvartsman, who was born in 1920. Some features of Shapoklyak received from employees "Soyuzmultfilm", and some - from the artist's mother-in-law
