also, for animals/furries, use basically the same exact stuff for humans! Just make the ears plump and 'chunky'. Same with tails! For girls, you can also add a small bump on the chest without ruining the chibi look. Pastel colors or dark colors work best, but you can also use medium colors if you have to. ALSO- hands should have almost no detail! Just a circle, and maybe a thumb if needed. Paw pads on animals should be limited to just the one on the palm, but if you feel you can squeeze the others in there without it looking crowded, go ahead. Shading should be minimal, and no wrinkles on clothes- keep it simplistic! Same with patterns

thanks ^^
