After showing the original draft (pictured right) to a classmate, they illustrated a couple of concerns: first off - which was a concern I had myself, as well - was that the project was too busy overall, especially with the dotted lines thrown in. Second, the blocky style of the person in the tutorial was at odds with the picturesque nature of the cats, making it seem too abstract by comparison. The design of the person was meant to be evocative of
those IKEA instruction manual avatars, though those have more of a curvature / organic feel to them. The third major concern was that the penultimate row of steps were a little too similar and just served to make the tutorial busier overall.
I adjusted the final tutorial (pictured left) by removing the arrows in favor of a more visible progression and lining the individual steps up a little more accurately, using the Brush tool to manually draw heads / hands for the person (which also made it line up with the costumes, stylistically speaking), and while I didn't want to completely scrap the second-to-last set of steps because they were more or less the punchline of the whole thing, I did consolidate them into a single large step that was a lot easier to interpret.
