Chums Snuggle Pic | And Drawing Tutorial Steps

This a toony style full detail drawing for PhantomFullForce on (FA and @PhantomFoxForce on Twitter) of one of his characters, Chums, an African Wild Dog. This is a commission based off of what was a popular themed series I've done a while back that I call the Snuggle Pic Series. Named so because when you see the characters in them, it makes you want to snuggle them. lol

Sorry for the delay on postings. Been pretty busy drawing up more drawings plus was also doing those pesky taxes before the April 15th deadline. X3 Steem needs a better way to keep track of all transactions in one place to be able to do them easier or heck, an API key to link to crypto record-keeping sites like Cointracking. I may make a post about that soon.

Other than that, I hope to at least post something for y'all at least twice a week, no set dates yet. But for now, I'll show you how I did this one below.
