QuestionDoes it take a long time to get all the details in, like the scruffs of fur?

Warnings
- Nervousness and not believing in yourself are the number one causes of bad drawing. So only draw if you are relaxed and having fun. If you're not take a break and step away from the paper and pencil and think about how good your drawing will turn out.⧼thumbs_response⧽
