Sketchbook (PAGE 16)
🕑 Added 2025-11-14 22:19:01 +0000 UTCThere's couple color thumbnails on this sketch page: "Liminal Spaces" (FA | e621) and "Endless Summer" (FA | e621). I seriously can't recommend these little color studies enough. I used to plunge into coloring and expected I'd sort of figure it out along the way. But some planning can really elevate a color scheme and give the finished picture some beautiful cohesion. Traditional or digital media -- doesn't matter.
Fuck, I never draw hoofers but udders are so fun...
At the very bottom I was imagining a scene where Juno and a seal friend go shopping in the clothing-optional part of town. Size difference between species is a HUGE love of mine, and I suppose I'm working on kind of a (inverse?) log-scale where small differences in the actual species get amplified in anthro form, with larger differences growing progressively subtler. These are not Zootopia rules, and ultimately it's just vibes-based.
There's a few sketches of a porcupine girl (Brandy) just to figure her out a little better. And while the drawing of the kneeling porcupine is Brandy as well -- looking like she's about to gently offer to share a smoke with her -- I had someone else in mind. Someone who, at the time, I hadn't spoken with in years but have since reconnected. And I think there's a good chance that person will see it now and understand the spirit in which I offer that background. Thanks for being there when I needed it ^^ Oh yeah, and the belly nipples are showing if you look hard enough.

100% ๐ Even now, I still feel a strong pull to draw some of these species (bears and seals especially), but I gotta prioritize with every piece :P

And the bear shaman giving us the smolder.... ๐ฅต. The variety is really neat here, lots of experimentation and different species! Thank you for sharing about Brandy. Always down to share a bowl ๐. It's much more fun to smoke with others! ๐๐

Not nearly enough, but I've seen a couple of beautifully designed seal characters. It's cool to see what works and what doesn't with odd anthro designs.

Very much like the seal sketches on the bottom of the page here, don't see all that many of them even in this fandom
