Omg that looks so good. Gorgeous art like this is why you’ll always be my favorite artist. Do you have any tips for making ref sheets? I want to make one similar to the ones you make since they all look so good; however, I have no clue how to draw them.
uaa wow thank you! ref sheets are like a fun puzzle in terms of figuring out the best / most efficient layout, without doing too much or too little. generally, a front pose and a back pose is a must, which can be either head-on (symmetry ruler is good for this) or 3/4 to show more of the body's volume
its also important to group things by "category", so in this case for this ref: the front back zoomed out sheet (or marking map), the "on-model art style" section, and the expression/personality section.
i try not to have *too* much text, and if something is a "must" in a character's design (e.g. for the "collar NOT optional!!!!" fans) a cutaway panel reinforced with text will greatly reduce it as a 'failing point' in it not being glossed over :-3

Oh my thank you so much for the advice. I’m going to try and make a ref sheet for one of my fursonas. I probably won’t post it on here but your advice will help me more than you’ll ever know.
Have an amazing year and thank you <3
