Tag As FavoriteComment		When I happened to be role playing a skinchanger for the first time I wondered how one would end up drawing such a character.

One can draw the human form or the animal form but in the end there is nothing indicating that the drawing isn't just a normal human or a normal animal.

One can also draw an intermediate form, between the human and the animal form, but then there is no indication that it isn't a hybrid or a furry, but really a skinchanger.

So finally I found two ways of effectively indicating a character has two forms in one drawing: reflections and shadows. I tried out the latter in this piece. Painted 3-11-2005.

That's a great idea. I also like the wood textures you've got here, and the birch-bark detail on the stools.
