dont overload them with too many accessories, dont use really bright colours and use various shapes like circles, triangles and squares to build them

uhhhh I sometimes search up clothes designs! Want me to make you a oc?

if the design is mainly dark colours it's important to add brighter ones so the important parts of the body (face, underbelly, paws) aren't as hard to see it also means the pose of the character is a lot easier to figure out
