Beast wars is good, because with most tf characters you have the robot design and then A Car, which are notoriously hard to draw, and pretty hard to make expressive (unless its tfa but even then). With beast wars, though, their altmodes are always Funny Little Creechurs, and when your art style skews cartoonish and silly like mine does, the altmode feels less like a challenge and more like a shortcut, even an asset. If I'm just gonna draw something quick and funny, I suddenly don't need to draw out the whole complicated robot designs, when I could instead be drawing dinobot as an Incredibly Angry Rectangle
It's just so much easier, I don't even have to look at a reference. There's less pressure to make sure the details line up like on the robot design, because even if it doesn't match the canon design quite as intently. Like as long as its recognizable as a velociraptor and sufficiently grumpy, then That's Dinobot, Baby!!
#similar shortcuts can be made by just simplifying the robot designs but when i try that i gitta workshop it a lot#im aware it all comes down to practice but man. some designs are just intimidating#its also fully possible that im just used to drawing funny cartoon animals more bc im a furry#that said. i will never tire of drawing that angry rectangle#drawing the beast modes feels very similar to drawing those silly lil stress ball lookin versions if the ws bots#just a simplified little brainless lookin critter i can throw against the wall lmao#art tag
