I've got a few questions for you.
Do you use actual animals as references (or did you when you were starting out)?
Or did you just base your style off of cartoons you watch/ed?

I used to draw animals all the time, but then I got into people and kinda neglected all my animaly funness. I want to draw animals again, realistic or cartoon. More likely cartoon, with the occasional realistic.
So tips and tricks are very much so appreciated. Just tell me how you got into it and what inspires you and all that good stuff.
And if you're a traditional artist - tell me your tools.
Digital artists, I pretty much know what you use but feel free to tell me.

Yay learning. :3
And if you have any tutorials, or use any, or have any to suggest... please do. I've been collecting them.

Thank youuu.
