I do trace it cuz it easier to edit but I like your idea better now. It would save a lot of work and I can't get the hand right <_<
I want to do a tree loli but I been making too many tree so taking a break ;D I am making a scary loli, punk/goth loli.
I can't do animal cuz I can;t draw animal part. And they always turn out so human since I am creative. I always think about their part and it turn into clothes or something. My mind always thinking about way to make something unique, different, and into something else. (see the flower turn into a dress) So it hard for me to stick to the normal animal theme if I did one. I was a making a crane and the feather became part of the kimono. Their no beak or anything animal like. I totally fail on animal.
I love clothes so it easier for me. I think it because I was always interested in fashion and making outfit for my OC.
So what your next idea for your next knuffel you plan to make ? Are you going to make TimTam a raccoon/kola since you make the rainbow shark for KC?
