How to Draw a Fluffy Creature

Step 1.


Start with a fairly large circle for the head and sort of a bean-shaped body overlapping it.

Description: This is my first tutorial, so I would appreciate comments, and I would love to see people's drawings on the art page! I haven't quite decided if this creature is a cat or a fox or something totally different, so you are welcome to try some variations on it, such as altering is fluffiness, tail length, eye shape, coloring, et cetera. I hope you all enjoy drawing the fluffy creature as much as I did!
