I MUST DRAW A FERRET NOW.

This is incredibly useful. I really like your rendering of ferrets! I also like how you didn't say things like "this is HOW YOU MUST DRAW THEM durr" you left it more open for interpretation for the reader to learn.

I respect how you are very dedicated to ferrets!

By chance, would you happen to know if a weasel's anatomy is similar to a ferret's?


lol I like the near-last image where the ferret is sticking it's tongue out. <3

Thank you, I'm very glad you like it and find it useful. 'Tis very rewarding to hear it. :D

Yeah, it was more of a "See what I've found out about ferrets and maybe it'll help you" sort of guide. And that's how I intended it to be, so it's all good. xD

:salute: Wewt for ferrets! lol.

Hm, yessiree, weasels are quite a bit like ferrets, and you could use my anatomy picture to help with the weasel's body, but I have a few points ready on how they are different: Weasels are a lot smaller than their chubbier ferret/polecat brethren. They are very slender, so their bodies are more sleek and flat (their hair is smoother and shorter). If you look at the "Hooded" ferret, that specific colour pattern is common to many weasels, except allong with the muzzel being white- their entire belly is white, too. Their tails and necks, I believe, are a bit longer in comparison. Their heads are a bit smaller and flatter than a polecat/ferret's head, and a weasel's ears are a little bit larger/rounder in proportion. If you are looking into a specific species of weasel, [link] tells of all of the species, and once you pick one you like, search the name of the weasel species in a search engine so you can see pictures of them. :)

Yes! I like that one a lot, it's one of my favorites. That expression seems to fit ferrets so well- hmmm I wonder why? :ninja:

xD Thank you for the +fav! :boogie:
