In the anime, Pikachu often naps curled into a round yellow ball next to Ash. This pattern leans into that cozy image — the body is a soft curl, the eyes are shut, and a small 'Z' bubble marks it as asleep. It is a calmer alternative to the action and portrait poses in the series.
Design Notes: 14×16 Pixel Composition
The composition is a single rounded mass with no protruding limbs, which is what makes 'sleeping' read instantly. Yellow forms the curl; a lone black cell stands for the closed eye; red marks one visible cheek; brown suggests the tail tucked underneath. Medium difficulty — the challenge is keeping the silhouette smooth.

Ironing Tips
- 💡Medium heat only — too hot and the beads over-melt and lose shape; too cool and they won't fuse.
- 💡Keep the iron moving in slow circles — staying in one spot melts that area flat.
- 💡Iron both sides and press under a heavy book while cooling to keep it flat.
