Decisions

[Dvalin]

Hello again!
Okay so I've been thinking of making my first fursona but I can't choose between looking more hawk or more owl so I wanted to know what you guys think.
I also don't know what program works best for drawing fursonas so I need help with that too and once io post my fursona (if I ever get around to it) I would love to get some feedback from everyone.
Thanks!

First off, something with a concrete answer: if you have a photo manipulator, like PhotoShop (paid) or GIMP (free) you can use this file (just be sure to keep the credit at the bottom attached): Ultimate Free Reference Sheet | RadPandas
Secondly, design one of each. Whichever you feel more strongly about, consider that one first... then look up what each one represents, and decide
(Take my opinion with a grain of salt on the second one, but do check out the form I sent you. You can make anything with that thing!)

Hey, make yourself a B'Owl!

Nah, I'm sticking with a H'Owl

I'm an avian dude myself and was curious about what bird refs that program has. I'd like to see what it has to offer... would someone mind posting a few screenshots of the avian refs?

Now back to the original post: Whichever resonates with you the most I guess. Although this doesn't usually help much, try making a list of the pros and cons of your choice species and go from there. Ditto what Crimson Steel said.
