Awesome!!! Do you have like a artist contest or. . . only you is doing it? Plus I'm guessing this is only for Halloween huh.


Can you help me with my shading I have no idea how to do that? Although I draw for the longest time I'm having trouble with shading and lines. (Good with sketching though!) Thanks!!

As of right now I plan to be the only one doing it, since it's just a limited seasonal release (yep, only for Halloween) and not a full-blown species.

As for shading and lines and whatnot, there's lots of tutorials out there. I'll give you a quick rundown of what I do for my lines - 2px pen at 255% (full) opacity. The full opacity keeps it solid, smooth, and less sketchy looking. Then you just have to take it slow from there, and keep it consistent. As for shading... lots you can do there. But generally I copy the color layer if I have one, fill it in entirely with my shading color, set it to multiply, then erase out where light would be hitting and leave places where light wouldn't be... a.k.a. shadows, a.k.a. shading. This is super easy for soft shading with the soft eraser tool, and works well with the regular eraser for more hard "cell" shading.

I don't want to go on too long about it, because my method is just one of many! Experiment and look up some visual tutorials that better explain than I can c:

That was very helpful, I enjoyed reading how you do lines! You need to make a full tutorial of your method, many would benefit from it!

And you do awesome designs, can't wait for these!

Haha, well I might do that some time, I've thought about it! Maybe I'll get to that sometime soon c:

Thanks for all the interest, everyone! It was a blast doing these last year and I'm excited to get to them this year. I already have a rough list of the themes for each fox, and I'm itching to get them out. Not much longer now...

I hope I get one this year!!!
