✦ To me, a complex design has ten or more colors, asymmetrical patterns, "floating patterns" (spots, stripes, and freckles), multiple sets of limbs, and gradients!How does one learn how to draw?
✦ Lots of practice and using references! I suggest finding artists you like and seeing what you like in their art, whether it's the style, colors, or aesthetic - then you practice as much as you can! For animation specifically, pick up the book titled, The Animator's Survival Kit, by Richard Williams!What things do you enjoy drawing the most? The least?
✦ I love drawing mine and other people’s sonas and OCs! Something about bringing someone’s character to life is so magical; which is why I continue my passion for art and animation! I think backgrounds are challenging (but fun)! I do not and will not draw anything NSFW, however.Are you a furry?

✦ My platinum fox fursona and mascot, Silv, is female and uses she/her pronouns! It’s understandable if some people mistake her for a boy or something else - it actually happens to me in real life occasionally!Are your DMs open/can we chat?
