How I made Cumu (Patreon)

I was about to get ready to work on some things but then I thought of Cumu and wanted to give a step-by-step guide on how I eventually made the fluff girl people are loving

1. I have a few pages of ideas I use atm or ideas that pop in my head that I don't feel like I'll use at that moment but will later. In this case, what I chose with #2. I encourage any artist to have these as it can be not only good for trying different poses for what you want at the time, but also good warmups and the potential for use later. And I first made this stuff around the beginning of the year and I'm still using some of these that never got used. 

2. Now this was initially gonna be something for a summer themed YCH but that never really took off so I decided to try something else with it. 

3. Edits and more details later, I made this with the intentions of selling as a sketch YCH, I did a few of these but wanted to do a personal one for myself just for fun

4. I thought of wanting to do something fluffy but not too far off from what the design of the YCH was, so I just drew a samoyed girl that I quickly grew attached to and that became the Cumu you now see before you. The girl was originally gonna be a cat or fox anthro but I wanted to do more fluff, so Samoyed just popped in my head and I got to work.
