Which do you like better? The one on the left is what I normally draw.

Pros:
-Can be done without a tablet neatly
-Fluffy, if you like fluff
-Lighting can be done easier
-Realistic

Cons:
-TOO fluffy
-Black isn't ever black.
-Takes up 50-60 layers at times.
-Noisy/Grainy

The one on the right is using a different method

Pros:
-Looks really, really nice if I use a tablet
-Sharper edges
-Smoother painterly look
-Done on one layer
-bi biuse
Cons:
-I don't have a tablet, as you can tell
-Not realistic
-Takes longer
-More toony


So... which style do you like?

Oh... and that's  vexser's ear if you're curious :P
