Panther Powerlifter Tickled (+ Progress pics!) (Patreon)

A quick practice to warm up! Decided to show off the progress pics too, to show you all my process!

I make a sketch (with some cleaning if it's a little rough), using reference images and motion lines to get it looking right. Then I add clean lines over it. Then goes a flat base (usually grey or the darkest colour on the character) to make sure there's no overflow or blank pixels. Flat colours and patterns; shading (only minimal here, but it adds depth to the soft parts like belly and pawpads!) and fur texturing, highlights and rim lights!
