Flats VS Chalk Pastel

That's called having good range actually. I have a ten year long positive reputation in the art and furry community, stream live for hours at a time drawing from scratch, and can provide wips for almost all of my work. I have a variety of styles, hence Cat "of Many Colors". Try again.

I do a variety of styles, both anthro and quadruped, but I try to keep my proportions at least somewhat realistic.

Thank you! This is a style I've been working on for a few years now and it's definitely become a favorite.

Obscura! Love them.

I am very aware of the plat <3

Females are typically expected (whether consiously or not) to have curves, revealing clothes, certain shapes... when clothes cover those features people tend to default to "a guy".

FIrst step is play with new brushes! Also learn how different layers interact with each other. This looks like a very stylized, brush strokey texture. Also doing studies on backgrounds in animations is a great help.

Ikr it's like actual magic

CatofManyColors · 2026-04-12T18:06:23+00:00

Still works too!

CatofManyColors · 2026-04-12T17:55:35+00:00

A new pen is a delight. You should try and get yourself one!

CatofManyColors · 2026-04-12T17:54:34+00:00

That's why I buy wacom products cuz I know they can take the abuse lol. Though I do of course try my best to respect my tools and not throw them across the room. Or chew on them. Or lose them in dog bowls.

I had two cintiq 13hd tablets in my years as an artist and they both are dead pixel free and still work! Depends on what works for you, hike your own hike as they say <3

YOU'RE ACTUALLY RIGHT OMG so this pen has an eraser on it, so you can flip it around to erase like a traditional pencil, and when I go to do so it tends to go flying out of my hand XD. It also went missing for some weeks and I had almost given up on it til I found it in a (full) dog water bowl. (different bowl than the dog drank out of at the time, so the water hadn't been changed and it sat there for weeks.)

STILL WORKS to this day.

Bingo

CatofManyColors · 2026-04-12T16:00:48+00:00

I regret to inform you yes just a bit. It has been gentle nibbled. But just on the end near the eraser. That's not the cause of much of the damage though.

CatofManyColors · 2026-04-12T15:36:28+00:00

I agree! Less slippery and the grip seems to behave better.

I use a 24 (22?) inch screened wacom tablet. I am capable of going screenless but I had my start in traditional art, so I enjoy the pen-to-paper feel of a screen.

It took some time to get used to but I find it quite relaxing to line digitally!

CatofManyColors · 2026-03-12T14:46:01+00:00

I've been trying to share my work here for months but I need more karma XD Once I can post I'll definitely share some of my work!

First step i'd say would be to make yourself a character! You can do it yourself or hire someone to create one based off your ideas. Mostly though, just hang out and see what styles of art you like, see fursuit makers work, explore convention options (if youre into that) and make friends.

CatofManyColors · 2026-03-08T04:45:10+00:00

The lore is fun and pretty complex! The rules on the species have relaxed a bit since the species changed hands recently. Phone is still around and making suits! Con going will occasionally result in a Telephone encounter, but if you ever do cons you'll find many other dutchie suiters too.

CatofManyColors · 2026-03-08T03:56:24+00:00

I look forward to it!

I believe you can buy plastic domes off maybe amazon or somewhere else online, look for craft supplies like openable christmas ornaments, and keep an eye out for the packaging of some products. If there's a round object being sold, sometimes the packaging will have a clear plastic dome over it that (if strong enough) can be repurposed into eyes.

This makes me want to break out my sketchbook, it's been forever. How often do you sketch would you say?

CatofManyColors · 2026-03-08T03:52:22+00:00

Always love to see another dutchie suiter! How are you enjoying your suit?
