Try switching the body fabric with the wooly part of the head fabric.

I think the shape is fine..maybe the head needs to be just a "tad" bigger, but I think what is really throwing you off is the fabric choice for the body. The print is a little too large..maybe too busy too?

My opinion only....the background maybe needs to be darker and not so busy a print. Also, maybe the sheep body needs to be the same as the head, with the head outlined. Like I said....only my opinion.

Put "HER" on your viewing wall for a few days... Maybe she will "speak" to you! I sometimes have things on the wall for a week or so before I start forming an idea of what needs to happen.. She is a cute as can be! I think she just needs some color to become HERSELF!!!

I would maybe use that background for the sheep body and something else for the background.

Black would keep the monotone theme, bright would be fun too - match that to a bow??

Exactly what I was going to say....

My thought would be to switch the background and the leafy green fabric positions. Use the leafy green for the background and the white on white floral for the body of the sheep. Maybe?
