If this method doesn't work for you some other alternatives are: - Doing everything traditionally on paper (I recommend making a digital colour pallete still!!) - Printing out the reference sheet lines and colouring them physically - Commissioning an artist with a thorough description of your character (not all artists will work from just descriptions though) - Buying a character from someone - Using a "fursona maker" app - Asking a close friend whom is an artist very very very very nicely for some help - Request an artist whom has publicly stated they are open for request
Just saying, as an artist, working with printed out and colored references is totally fine! As long as there is SOMETHING to help the artist visualize your character in your eyes!

You know, when I first heard the term "fursona", as a weeb, I instantly related it to "persona" which, is an AWESOME game, but, when I heard fursona, my brain just grabbed these both and thought " Holy sh*t, werewolves are fursona users" And, my mind, broke all that down, and it turned into a werewolf dating Sim with some battle in mind. I can't believe how far I was at the start, and how close and accurate it was at the end...
Okay so this video was great but the best part was the "shift-control-i" HOLY HECK. It takes me so long to colour inside the lines and constantly clean up, you will be saving me hours of work for the rest of my life
Like a lot of people who speak American English don’t realise that in different places they speak different dialects that have different spellings as they say ‘color’ but in other places that speak English they might use colour or colouring.

6 years into the fandom now and I still haven’t gotten to the idea of drawing my sona until I saw this video when it first aired, months later I’m making progress on a shepherd.
Ahh. Getting nostalgia from this! This is the first furry video i watched at age 7,you helped me make my first Fursona, sadly that sparkle doggo isnt with me anymore, but in honor of rewatching this video, ill draw him from memory, you helped me figure myself out, and now i am Mr Pickles, the demon dog, thanks pocari!! You rly made this dog into what they are today! Love your videos, ps, You are my inspiration and ilysm!!!
Yes this is very helpful for drawing my sona. I had to make multiple drawings for my wings and tail due to the non symmetrical patterning of the feathers
Quick appreciation comment for people who make free to use bases. You guys are so generous, and help out sooooo many beginner artists and furries. Thank you guys.
I don't have a job yet, because I'm kind of young, oof, so I don't have enough money for a cool fancy drawing tablet that hooks to my computer, but I use my phone to draw. I have a really good program called Autodesk Sketchbook, and I just take a picture of my sketch, and draw over it with my finger in the program. It might take a while to get used to, because you have to try and avoid shaky lines, although there are tools that help balance them out into neat, smooth lines. I thought that this might be helpful to those who don't have a computer or drawing tablet.
Im also a youngfur and my phone to draw but I use drawshow to draw... My phone has a stylus that I can put into it... So it looks a bit better but I still love drawshow it's great and I think you ppl should check it out
This is bringing me back to being 12 years old on deviantART back on the late 2000 s. I'm a professional artist now, and seeing people keep the tradition of passing down knowledge and skills in the community is so incredibly inspiring ❤
I gave up on attempting to make a character around 3 years ago due to my lack of drawingskills but this video explained it so well that i think i could actually create my own character i've had stuck in my head in lines, colours and fluff. (owo) Thank you so much and i'll keep watching all your vids since i never comment on them but been watching since just before you started your bottle episodes.
Thank you so much Im sorta new to the fandom and I love drawing but I've always had a hard time drawing and making animals. Im sorta going thro so stuff atm so its hard but you've helped me out quite abit so thank you so much, can't wait to see your next video.. UwU
Great tutorial Pocari, I'm currently using the same ref sheet that you used in the vid for a base for my fursona (which I'm sort of just making up as I go along) and even though my fursona is a wolf this reference sheet is definetly a great start thank you Pocari :)
Dude, I would never have enough patience to do everything with a mouse. You get all my respect 😔👊. Sidenote; It's my birthday on the 16th, and I'm getting a drawing tablet, so... 👀👀👀👀😌😌😌😌
Some things I’d like to add, medibang and firealpaca are great programs to use on the computer! (Or medibang on a phone) I also recommend using large canvases (like 3000*3000) with a dpi of 300. Larger canvases will have better resolution!
I actually (read: sadly) use a mouse for my art and boy howdy it's a bit difficult. Luckily, tools like the undo button, stabilizers on pens, the smudge tool and transformer tools exist. Though I'm pretty proud of my art rn, it's still clear what the limitations are. Things like line thickness variation, painting-style coloring or shading, and identical shapes (without copy+pasting) are extremely hard to pull off P.S. don't look at my UA-cam to see what my art looks like that's old stuff. All my current stuff is on my instagram
Samalamb Bases on DeviantArt makes really great bases, but they aren't for reference sheets. Also! For those who don't have tolerance for their magic wand tool, simply go to the 'select' tab and expand the selection by around 3-7 pixels!
I have been in the fandom for 289 days, and I have had so much trouble finding my fursona. I have made 100+ oc's and ugh it's just to much! Recently I came across the manokits and just fell in love! See, I have been drawing sence I could hold a pencil, and I cant explain how much stress I had trying to draw a manokit! I honestly still cant draw one, and am afraid to go on Google to look for inspiration because I will feel less proud of myself if I do go on Google. I already have a name for her, and a fur pattern, but I just can't draw her! I just hope I wont call her my fursona, get bored with her ina few days, and forget about her. I have always done that. With every single OC I have made. That's why I cant find my fursona 😪 sorry for wasting your time on my rambling about my stress.
Iam really happy that iam improving in art and i hope I can be improving a whole lot more i use ibis paint X for right now Thx for more suggestions of art apps ive started on paper some good tips that I'll use Edit: I used your tip and used furfinitty and made a new fursona i dont know what his name should be now Stargazer or something else any other suggestions? I used Stargazer
this just helped me make my fursona yay. im new in all things fur and since i had a tiny bit of skill from drawing a few years back from hand it wasnt too hard to use the tools to edit the reference and even draw things from scratch like her accessories. I love how it turned out! hopefully soon i can get a badge commission with my reference sheet. ill be making my suit myself cuz im an overachiever and im going all in lol wish me luck
i just started watching pocari again after MONTHS and MONTHS and when the theme song came on in the beginning a wave of nostalgia hit me outta no where 😭😭
This helped so much. I didn't know there was free base references out there. So I now have thrown together my first quick OC reference so that one day I can maybe go get an original one as well as some other art commissioned.
I'm asking after it because I'm kinda interested in doing some art for people. I watched this video and realized how many people out want someone else's interpretation, and it made me remember being a broke lil bean. So I feel that life and I wanna do art for people
good way to get a fursona if you have no idea to design/draw, view high quality furry adopts from people and buy those (that's how I got my hyena fursona, love her alot)
*me aggressively searching stuff becouse I want a new fursona cause i dont like my last one* I think I understand *five seconds later as i try to draw it well watching * I have no idea what I'm doing. On a serious note. This really helped me. I'm trying to sketch some ideas and this is helping me get an understand of what to do
As someone who took three years of Graphic Design and Commercial Graphic Design in high school, two years of GD with a year of CGD between, I cannot stress enough how helpful a drawing tablet is. On a related but different note: this is very helpful for me, who can't draw an organic shape to save my life.
The music in the beggining still spooks me because your the only youtuber I know about that has louder vids than 2% volumetric forms (my phone suggested that volume was spelt like volumetric so I have no idea if it's what I thought it was)
I already have a fursona/main oc and their rival/counterpart,(plan to have a fewmore)but I'm still watching this,Pocari! I need to make a reference sheet for both of them still,I have their color schemes pretty much all sorted out.
One day I was bored and decided to draw fursona. So I drew it in a corner of notebook, took picture of it and then traced lines in Autodesk SketchBook app (in another layer, like you showed). I knew it was not good but I was proud of myself because I don't know how to draw nor ever tried drawing anything similar. Btw, I never watched any tutorial before and was trying to be completely original. Hope you understood everything
for free art programs I would recommend Krita and for paid ones I would recommend Clip Studio Paint. you can get it on sale and get the Pro version for $25.

As someone who took three years of Graphic Design and Commercial Graphic Design in high school, two years of GD with a year of CGD between, I cannot stress enough how helpful a drawing tablet is. On a related but different note: this is very helpful for me, who can't draw an organic shape to save my life.
My art work program: a peice of *paper* im too poor for a pc and i cant draw with a finger
Thank you! I see so many speed paints where the magic wand was used yet I didn’t know what it was! Once again, thank you!

The music in the beggining still spooks me because your the only youtuber I know about that has louder vids than 2% volumetric forms (my phone suggested that volume was spelt like volumetric so I have no idea if it's what I thought it was)
*when you can’t draw animals*
I already have a fursona/main oc and their rival/counterpart,(plan to have a fewmore)but I'm still watching this,Pocari! I need to make a reference sheet for both of them still,I have their color schemes pretty much all sorted out.
Thanks for the helpful tips!! Now I can make my fursona like a normal person
One day I was bored and decided to draw fursona. So I drew it in a corner of notebook, took picture of it and then traced lines in Autodesk SketchBook app (in another layer, like you showed). I knew it was not good but I was proud of myself because I don't know how to draw nor ever tried drawing anything similar. Btw, I never watched any tutorial before and was trying to be completely original. Hope you understood everything
My sona is a Butterbeer sodaroo, and yeah! As u were the very first UA-cam fur who inspired me. I love roos and most of the Australian animals
for free art programs I would recommend Krita and for paid ones I would recommend Clip Studio Paint. you can get it on sale and get the Pro version for $25.
I’m new to the fandom so this helped me a lot
I haven't watched u for 5 months that intro is so frickin cool
