Whats the best animal to use if you're making a cute comic with animal characters?

dogs

sorry but why you making a comic?

...

That rabbit because I wanna kiss it

Capybaras.

Can't go wrong with cat, dog and bunny. You could throw in horse, sheep and pig too but you gotta know how to make it work. Don't bother with bug or fish unless you have a really good idea on how to make them look adorable rather than offputting. Its possible just harder.

Shrimps

Pangolins

>Bugs are hard to turn cute
But that's wrong

Lizard schoolgirs!

There's only one real choice

Snorks

Shush you, we already have that.

You can't go wrong with foxes.

What the who?

>cute
This looks like porn

Scalie Schoolie, go look it up.

Those drawings look NOTHING like the generic art in that comic.

The later ones do.

You know, cat and bunnies seem to be paired together a lot. Like the There She Is!! animation thingy. And also this.

I wonder what artists meant by that.

Cats, dogs, mice and bunnies are easy mode.

How about dinosaurs?

Wolf.

Standard house pets. The correct art style can make just about any creature look cute.

whats the point of making a "cute" animal comic if its going to become heavilly sexual later anyways
is this some kind of fetish?

Hey Gaturo, where is my GumballxNicole art?

This.
It's also easy money. People eat that up.

I swear that blue OC is pursuing me everywhere.

Scorpions, spiders, worms and fish are hard mode.

Easy enough to go for a range.

Every single one of those has an easy solution. The real tough shit is stuff people typically don't draw.

>Choose common animals
You don't stand out from the crowd and nobody cares.
>Choose atypical animals
It's either hard to distinguish or nobody cares about your special snowflake.

It's dead though

i wanna bang gizelle
what kind of tulpa do i need to invent

The kind that makes the creator produce pages faster.

This is what you get for now.

>worms and scorpions
>there is an easy solution
Sure. And that is exactly why there are so many characters like that in cartoons. Sure, man.

Scorpions, depending on how anthropomorphic you take the design can work easily, because arms and legs make it easy to make it's form relate-able to a human (also depending on how you draw the arms and legs).

Worms are honestly more challenging because the level of anthropomorphism you have to take it to, since it is just a tube, is so much higher. Basically, worms need gimmicks to make them more visually accepted by humans--like Earthworm Jim---only with a cuter face.

>even as animals, OKKO characters are ugly as fuck

Scorpions are pretty damn close to spiders and crabs, all the same tricks apply.
The most famous fictional worm ever is anthropomorphic.
Both have a broad public understanding that's easy to pick up.

If you seriously think it's harder to anthropomorphize either of those recognizably than, say, a capybara without someone thinking it's a dog or a regular mouse, you're insane. Or just retarded. Either works.

Again, smart user, explain why so many rabbits and cats and dogs, if they are not easier to work with.

It's like there was a trend of popular media related to common household pets that the creative scene picked up on, or something. If Walt Disney made Annie Anole instead of Mickey Mouse and The Great Mouse Detective used salamanders for Let Me Be Good to You, then the scene would have latched onto that.

Because rabbits and cats and dogs are the most "human" animals.

Partly it is about familiarity. Marketing LOVES familiarity. I don't even mean conscious boardroom level marketing--I just mean, trends of what people want to spend money on being based on familiarity. We are familiar with domesticated animals and things that look like domesticated animals, or animals that live with us, even as pests. Hence, cats, dogs, rabbits, foxes, mice, squirrel, etc

And when you wanna be an edgy badass just go with the "tough" version.... wolf, lion with a tragic past :P bla bla bla.

...

No one said that they were harder, just that your examples are still pretty fucking easy.

Tier 1 is preschool animals, usually with wide generalizations attached. Dog, cat, rabbit, pig, frog, bear, shit you see on Sesame Street.

Tier 2 is animals understood by abstraction but not as commonly associated with cute. You can draw an outline of a worm, a scorpion, a spider and a fish and most kids will get it.

Tier 3 is shit understood by nuance, not generalization. Walrus, orca, peacock, baboon. This is stuff you have to use specific traits to signpost, like tusks or peacock feathers.

Tier 4 is shit that we usually only recognize as a whole. It's hard to abstract a wallaby without getting it confused for a kangaroo, or a crayfish from a lobster, etc.

Welp found my new flavor of the- *checks number of pages* 15 minutes.

What the hell is Decibelle? Is she some musical note pixie like Meloetta, or is she some frog/human? Why does the gazelle dress like she's easy, and why is the shy emo Floran from Starbound the best of the lot?

pangolin, shrew, lemming, vole. cute round things that are hard to get wrong

>Force diversity.
Theres nothing wrong with four dog bitches that can get the job done.

>Florans
>best of anything
Savages, the lot of them

Can't really go wrong depending on how much stylization you are meaning to put in.

But if you are planning to use the usual cat/dog/mouse/bunny combo, you can always spice it up by searching and using various breeds of them (and finding some other rodents to put in the cast).

If you want a suggestion of cute animal to use, try the south american bush dog.

Bump.

You're not far from the truth, if you know where to look.

Decibelle is like a robot I think.

>the bird is wearing metal plate armor
Lmao

Ponies

Maybe she's flightless?

Plant people are awesome designwise because you can just do whatever you want with them. There is no real necessary set of traits other than incorporating the color green and leaves and flowers maybe. So you can just make them as cute or a bad ass or little emo-goth whatever as you want.

What's the best tutorial for learning how to draw anthro characters?

Depends on the style you're going for.

If you're looking for a book and you're looking for a more western style with only bits of Anime, this is okay.

1. Learn how to draw basic shapes.
2. Learn how to draw people.
3. Decide if you want to draw abstracted animals or actual real ass weird animals.

IF ABSTRACT: Learn how to draw caricature and about cartooning and apply shapes and features that read as "animal."

IF REALISM: Learn how to draw real ass animals and either make them stand upright with some humanoid features or just draw people with animal faces and fur.

For ease, money, and not looking like a fucking weirdo, I'd choose the former rather than the latter.

Real question: what the hell is this one supposed to be?

It's clearly a bat.

She has a dogs face though

The answer is always, ALWAYS cats

Aren't cats overused at this point?

add anteater

Cats dogs and bunnies all are, but they still are the easiest animals to make cute with cats topping the three.

indian flying fox maybe? they have dog faces

It's clearly a humkeycorn.

I'm thinking you're probably right. I failed to read on the original image, she comes from a place called Nocturnia, so I guess she IS some kind of Bat.

What the hell is that?

All I can see when I look at these things is the worst character from that game that must not be named

Cats obviously.
