I really need to get back to painting more studies - not just for the obvious benefits, but because I forgot how meditative and satisfying they are as an exercise in rendering without having to think too much about design so much as pure technique. Often i'll look at a specific ref image and get excited at the idea of doing a study from it just for the sheer tactile pleasure of it.
As an aside, I don't have a codified fursona but it would definitely be a horse.
