WINDOVERCLAN - Concept Art!

 OMG TYSM??! AFTER STARING AT IT FOR A BIT I STARTED TO DOUBT IT BUT TYSM
Also it was really dramatic because of the music I was listening to, but to be fair I think it worked out in the end. 

AND ANOTHER ALSO. It doesn't matter whether you do traditional art or not! But some advice I'd give you since you said you aren't the most skilled in drawing cats, is try using photos of real cats and determine the shapes they have in their body, use my sketches for example! If you're drawing a fluffy kitty, try making it skinny in the sketch, and then when you have the body and sketch of the cat, it's a lot more easier to add fur from there! I'm sure I'm just repeating a lot of stuff you may already have gotten or already know. But truely, using irl cat poses or photos is a lot more helpful <3
I've also realized this doesn't always work for everybody.. But! I like being hopeful in that maybe you can understand what I'm coming from. :3
With the critique of people mostly saying to try to draw realistically before you draw in your art style, I mostly don't really worry about that! Just study the shapes and circles a cat body would have and it kind of does both! 
I've also seen a lot of people say that what I do is literally what they're saying, but to me. The easiest way to understand it, is to look at the poses of different cats, different cat body shapes, etc. Try to draw or at least sketch out any identifiable shapes, like how the torso looks like a bean! and the head is a circle, and the arms and legs are odd semicircles! With tails, I just mostly do a line of where I want the pose to be and just make it a thick string with fluff on it when line art comes.
It does take a long frustrating time to understand what I mean, but hopefully you get it! 

Also when you draw traditionally, and you want to make it digitally, try downloading ibis paint or any kind of sketch app! Draw your sketch and maybe a rough outline, take a photo, then trace it digitally! That's how I got better at digitally with hand movements and etc. Although sometimes tracing can take away a learning experience, it's not that you're relearning how to draw again, that's just silly! You already know how to draw! You're tracing your own art! You're just learning the rough edges of digital, since trust me, they're FAR from the same, and I still struggle digitally compared to my works irl traditionally. You'll need practice if you ever decide to want to learn, and it's good to use your own art because you already know how to draw, it's just a little tutorial to get you where you need to go! 

Sorry this got extremely long, I just understand where your head is at right now, and no need to feel flustered about it, if anything I'm STILL in my learning stage, we all are! I'll be super happy to see your art! And let me know on my advice, I'm sure I accidently got too confusing with the shapes and stuff. Feel free to use any of my sketches I've posted here for reference and how I created shapes and brush strokes out of normal cat photos. I'd love to dm you some good references if you need! Just lmk! Sorry if this is too much, but I love sharing what I know to people who may just need it  

Have fun drawing!! 🎄ᦓρ꠸ᥴꫀᠻꪖꪀᧁ🎅

(Also VERY BIG KEYNOTE, if you're drawing a muzzle. most muzzles ALWAYS slant. I'll link what I mean!)



 

I wanted to do all of the apprentices in a moonkitti artstyle!
