Firstly, I created 50 thumbnail sketches (seen below) that are made up of several different types of rhyming pairs such as athletic wear bear, flag bag, etc. 

Secondly, I chose two of the 20 rhyming pairs and decided to chose the rhymes "tire fire" and "pear fair" to continue to develop with some slightly larger, more defined rough sketches for them.

Lastly, after some final critiques and alterations, I created the finalized versions of my rhyming pears which you can see above.  

Overall, I'm very happy with the final product and this project was overall very enjoyable.
