About character design is written in this post : [ animal drawing ] Axolotl

I changed the shape of the mouth to be more character-like.

Personally, I also like the shape of the mouth I drew for the first time.

I like the way they have their mouths wide open, so I wanted to put an emphasis on that.

Their tails are actually closer to the left because they are thin, but I intentionally made them flat. Three-dimensional gives realism, but at the same time can be less simplistic. 

The axolotl I drew was referenced from a morph that people raise a lot. They are close to dark colors in nature. The silver dalmatian is lavender, I've heard it's one of the rarest types.

The leucistic is probably the common axolotl we know. Sadly, they are almost endangered in the wild. It's not just the axolotl that is going extinct. Most amphibians, more than half of them are endangered. Amphibians are more vulnerable to extinction than other animals because of their unusual breathing method. The chemical pesticides is dangerous for them, so eating organic food can help them :D

Thank you!
