In this video, learn how to draw anthropomorphic characters, including furries, by exploring the anatomy of different animal species and applying it to human forms. Instructor Jessie answers viewer questions, offering insights into creating fish, reptilian, and bird-like characters, while blending scientific accuracy with creative liberties. Whether you're designing D&D-inspired merfolk, reptilian creatures, or even fluffy-tailed characters, this tutorial covers both realistic and imaginative approaches to help you craft unique, expressive anthro characters.
