One could spend a lifetime just playing around with the infinite shapes of animal features. It’s easy to get lost in trying to perfect and idealize the more human parts of the figure, but in the long run what keeps anthropomorphic animals interesting for me as an art subject is trying to make sense of how muzzle features, digitigrade legs or tails influence the composition of pictures and expressiveness of characters. There’s something magical in playing with humanoid features while trying to stay faithful to the likeness of an animal species.
