GIMP is a hell of a lot better than Microsoft paint for sure and now I have tons of things to learn.
this simple drawing came to be because I've been checking out a lot of fursuits and builders and I've been making mental notes of components I like and don't like and proportions and spacing and all that junk.

I think I should make his muzzle and ears a little bigger, and swap out the white fur for a light to medium gray. Just to make stand out a bit more without being too crazy and colorful. Also any dirt that gets on it will be harder to see.

somehow I kept his fur color or at least fur pattern the same since 2006. earliest uploaded pic is right at the end of 2009 http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3126640/
