I ran into some difficulty with my badges tonight. When drawing an animal with dark fur how do u make the details stand out? I think I did ok but was hoping someone out there had some advice.

Slot punches
If you are making badges you need a slot punch. This is not news to people who have been doing this for a while. For those of us getting into the business, it is good to know that this is apparently the unicorn of office supplies.
Badges
I’m using my friends fursonas to practice my badge making. Here are two of them.
Wishing I had more time.
I find myself wishing I was putting pencil to pad all the time. I draw on my breaks, during my lunch, when I get home before my honey.
I decided I’m going to start taking commissions soon but I have to spend some time setting that up.
Practice makes perfect
We all know the saying. It’s mostly right. Which means sitting down with your art everyday. Most of the week I work in colored pencils but once a week I work on the iPad to throw my hat into the derby. Shirt.woot.com has a contest every week for T-shirt designs. It gives me a goal, a time frame, and a topic of someone else’s choosing.

Not always my best work but always good practice.
