I've had people tell me Stripes is a little difficult to draw, since he has a bunch of details to him, as well as a lot of colors, so I decided to make this reference sheet to help those people.

That and the fact I've seen them around and it just looked plain cool. xD

So, here's Stripes without his jacket, shoes, and pants. You can clearly see his paw print tattoo and ear ring. And I actually use more colors on him than I thought. xP

Interesting fact about this piece is that,m aside from the fact that I really like it without having to give to give it a second look, I drew it while in History class. I was so bored I took one of the handouts in class and doodled on it. xD
