Hey I got an art question for you. How did you learn to draw so many different animals. What did you do to learn the anatomy because I find it difficult. If you don't mind could you do a quick tutorial or just an explanation would be cool too

The only advice I can give is to look at lots of animals, and pictures of animals, and anatomical references. Drawing is 90% looking. If I make big stupid mistakes (like I do often), its because I wasn’t looking hard enough.

As for the Patented Nicolaswildes Method:

-When you caricature an animal, accentuate the details that make it special. If your species has little eyes on the sides of its head and a big forehead, it doesn’t help to draw it with big eyes and a little forehead. That just makes it look less like what it’s supposed to be.

-On the topic of differentiating between species that might look similar on a first glance: look for the tiny differences and exaggerate them, HARD. Foxes and wolves might look similar to each other as canids, but fox maws are seen as pointier and wolves as smoother- for a reason. Fox nose is upturned following the bump. Wolf nose rounds downwards following the bump. When you exaggerate the pointiness of a fox nose, ears and muzzle, then he won’t look like a small wolf.

-When I say look at animals, I mean REALLY LOOK. You’ll start seeing the shapes and lines that will go into creating the caricature of that animal. Soon you’re seeing even bigger, simpler shapes and gesture lines- all that good design stuff. LOOK LOOK LOOK.

-Don’t push too much for a perfect replica- while anatomy is important, it’s also important that everything looks harmonious together. If you need to simplify or cut shapes to get the personality you want, that’s okay. As long as you get the basic shapes in, a more simplified design can work.
