Autumn is such a beautiful looking character.
I love also love how the blue eyes just stand out against those beautiful shades of brown.

I love the look of the fur, i need to experiment with this type of coloring, it seems simple and nice!
Autumn is such a doll, i cant wait until i draw her soon!

Thank you! It was super simple -- at least, it will be if/when I get used to it, lol. The shading could have been a bit sharper, I think. But overall I love the effect.
And I can't wait until you draw her, either!

Simple is good! And this is a great style for commissions too! Once you get it down it'll be so simple to draw furred animals and otherwise! Oh and i LOVE your lines by the way, they are so perfect

Thanks! On all accounts, lol.
Lines aren't too difficult. I use GIMP, as well -- to get lines that smooth, I just use paths instead of the pencil tool.

I have no idea how to use paths

Found a good tutorial for you. Actually, it had a few things even I didn't know about (such as Brush Dynamics).

This one is basically the exact same technique that I use.

The only difference is that I generally do my lines at two or three pixels thick, then zoom in at 800% and manually taper the lines off to a point by making a triangle shape with a line one pixel thick. I think it looks a lot better than using the eraser.

WOW! Thanks so much for showing me the links! Im totally experimenting with this ^u^

No problem! I'd write you up a tutorial myself, but I've got a lot of projects going on at the moment. I greatly hope that the discovery of paths is as much of a revolution to your art as it was to mine.

Im sure it will be awesome to use. I have been trying to figure it out for a while now, so again thank you!

I like the hard-edge vector styling. That's hard to do on a furry creature!

Thank you! It wasn't too difficult -- I just used paths. But as I use paths for just about everything, it wasn't too much of a stretch, lol. You may be seeing more of this style -- I haven't decided how much I like it yet.
