Thanks! For some reason I can’t stand giving them four toes or whites in their eyes when they don’t have it on the plush. :P I also tend to exaggerate a feature or two when I draw my Webkinz. Orion has an extremely fluffy tail, large ears, a ridiculous grin, and a very large amount of collar fur. Shadow also has exagerated collar fur, and the shape of his eyes is probably the most unique of any of my characters (incidentally, Shadow also seems to sound less human then my other anthropomorphic characters. He still sounds human, but it almost sounds like he’s got a growl in the back of his voice or something. And it’s super deep). I think my characters are relatively recognizable, and of course there’s their personalities. And their flaws. I love their flaws. :3 I think I want to try and redo the picture of Shadow and Orion in your style (well, it’s sorta like your style), but do them in separate pictures. I think I’d also do their eye color this time. But I should really finish the pictures I’ve already started… “Coming this June (possibly), a picture that was meant for Easter!”

Whoops, I meant “Berrina has blue eyes while the plush doesn’t“, not “does”. :P Darn typos.

Well, I guess eating and breathing might be convenient…but everyone knows that mouths are really for yelling and growling. Joking aside, I like how you remain true to what the plush looks like while still adding your own style. I try to do that, but I usually add a defining feature to my characters to make them recognizable (e.g. Blossom’s hat, Jazzy’s sunglasses, Helix’s mismatched red and blue eyes, Fluff’s googly eyes, etc.). Actually, Poseidon’s the only one who doesn’t have an obvious trait (although I draw him with blue eyes while the plush has brown eyes, so…that’s something?)

Why thank you ArtMagician. :D But seriously, Orion is famous? When did that happen?? I mean, I know he's the King of the Signatures and all, but still, how did that happen. I just like drawing manga/anime or whatever it is, although I know little about it, and I'm not that familiar with the style. And sometimes I do sketches. And random weird styles that I have no idea what the heck they are. And Space Potatoes. I think I am good for my age, but that doesn't seem to keep me from looking at my art extremely critically. Although I always seem to notice things other people don't, while they notice things I never would have. So it all works out, I guess. I just feel sorta generic when I draw manga, because soooo many people draw manga. Not that I'm switching my style, I mean, it's my style, ya'll. I also don't give my Webkinz whites in their eyes. I'm sure some people think that's weird, but I don't do it cuz the plushes don't have whites in their eyes. Except my Lil' Kinz Horse, which if I ever draw her, she will have whites in her eyes. Same reason Shadow, Orion, and Berrina have only three toes on each paw. That's what the plush has. But you may have noticed Berrina has blue eyes while the plush does. Or that Shadow has a mouth. But Shadow needs a mouth. So he can yell and growl and grit his teeth. Oh, and eat and breath.

Well, the upside of being a self-taught artist is that being taught how to draw can never compare to discovering how to draw, at least in my opinion. That way, you can get better through practice and observation, all the while developing your own unique style that it a conglomerate of your experiences and personality! I’ve never taken classes either, and I think it actually helped me grow independently as an artist. But, I digress. I don’t think a little research would hurt, since learning new techniques can help you get better at your art!
