Alright, those who didnt know, I am making a basic anthro drawing booklet. I already got a host for it (a dragon type) now I need something or someone to help me with the four different types of anthro and then some to help me with a few other examples (like hair or mouth expressions)

I have decided to do a little contest on FA, however I do not know in what area would people participate more in, drawing, poetry, or story writing....

or maybe I should mix them all?

Depends what 'market' of anthro artists the booklet is aimed at. If it's for artists who are just starting, just focus on the basic species, canine, feline, rodent, reptile, etc.

It may spoil the purely anthro sense of the book, but it often helps if you have a human reference who fits the bill to be transformed into an anthro character, using their facial structure as a base. (I have a brilliant picture demonstrating this from another art book. Can't find it at the moment, but I'll post it later if I stumble across it. ^^)

In the mean time, focus on how you want the majority of the faces in your style to look. How big do you want the skulls of your anthros to illustrate that they're smaaaaaarter than the average bear? Do you want animalistic muzzles and mouth-parts (adds realism) or much more human mouths? (easier to form lip-sync and facial expressions)

It's all part of a process. Very Happy
