To be honest, you can teach yourself, that's how I learned how to draw them. I looked at pictures of people drawing real onsies and went from there. I drew similar YCH art for last year's halloween and my goodness the difference in that artwork....

It's a lot easier to draw onsies than normal clothing though because they are baggy so allow more leway in their overall shape and how they sit on the body.

This question makes no sense...
I'll try to explain the best I can. (Note: I use Paint Tool Sai)
I designed the YCH pose, and sell that same pose for a cheap rate of £10 per commission. The customer gives me references for their fursona, the onsie design, the sweet container, and lets me know what specific sweets they want poking out. Then on a new layer, I sketch this out for them, make sure they're happy with it, then ink on a vector layer, then add a base colour layer and layer clip further layers on to flesh out the colouring, and finally a shading layer set to multiply.
Hope this helps explain things for you :s

Doesn't make sense? What you said the first time made sense me. What I was trying to get at was, is do draw out the entire character, from head to toe in minor detail, then draw the onsie over the said persons character to insure it looks right/organic, then edit to a finished piece. OR do you start with a generic onsie, then just add in said persons character while having their deads, hands, and feet poking out.
I was just trying to see how you went through the process of doing these cute pieces. I can't do it like you, because you've got more talent than I do plus I have to draw traditionally

Ohhh right, well the YCH (Referring to the base sketch) already has the onsie in place (you commented on my sales post for it) so I just trace over that, adding in the specific details, but yeah I usually start with the onsie details first.
As for when I was sketching the YCH base, I sketched a very basic framework of where the body should sit, then worked out where the onsie would sit on top. It took many many many attempts, redrawing, tweaking the lines and swearing before I reached a stage where I was happy with it. The first draft of this, the character was a LOT shorter, but someone pointed out the perspective/anatomy wasn't quite right so I stretched it out and this is the result.
Also, I don't have more talent than you, I just practice a LOT, and I used to do a lot of traditional work too, but I prefer digital because it gives me a lot more control over the lines. If I make a section too big or not quite the right shape, I can't select those lines and skew their shape on paper, but I can on the computer. The only difference between a good and a bad artist, is the bad artist doesn't make an effort to improve or practice. They just sit whining about how other artists are better than them, where as the good artist has been pushing themselves for years upon years. I've been drawing since I was able to pick up a pen, I doodled in pretty much every class at school, got told even by my art teacher to stop drawing cartoons. I didn't listen, and now look where I am?
I still have tons and tons and tons of improvement, and there are many things I don't yet feel comfortable tackling, such as backgrounds, regular clothing, and even anthro art, but I'm taking it step by step and trying to push myself a bit at a time. At the end of the day, artwork is all about hard work. If you push yourself hard enough, then I'm sure you will be able to surpass me, but you need to put the effort in first.

All of this makes sense. So pretty much pick what ever character I like"for me would be Zangoose " give basic out line then like you said overlay onsie over the skeleton. that way it looks organic 8)
iI've been told I'm "overly hard & unrealistic" with my own expectations of myself in drawing lol
