Description Name: Casper
Gender: Male
Species Dog (Golden Retriever)
Height: 5'7

Appearance details:
-Clothing: Light Purple t-shirt, purple and grey striped hoodie
-Fur: lemon colored yellow fur
-Eye Color: Brown
-accessories: ghost necklace

Personality traits:
Keeps to himself, loves cute things
Hobby/career:
Casper works at a fast food restaurant called McRonalds.
He also visits/works with a guy named Sam who hunts ghosts.

Relationships:
Mary (friend): Mary is a ghost who follows Casper around. Her and her husband Garrison have been following him for several months. He thought they were haunting him to which they said their spirits are connected to him but they don't mean harm. Neither of them understand their connections. Mary is very warm to Casper, and treats him like her child. He enjoys that as he's not very close to his parents.

Garrison (friend):
Garrison treats Casper like a son as well. But often he tries to make him go on adventures and hiking and things he used to do when he was alive which he isn't interested in doing. He tries to convince him to work out but Casper is weak physically and hates that.

Sam (mentor/friend):
Sam runs a business hunting down ghosts and ended up meeting Casper when Casper was a child and thought he saw a ghost. Turns out what Casper saw was nothing when he was a child but he dreamed of being like Sam and be able to stop a ghost or know when one appears. So Sam agreed to teach him. But most of the time Casper doesn't get to learn much about ghosts, instead he makes him run errands for him and gives him some random advice here and there.
Since Casper started to be followed by actual ghosts that are his friends, he's kept it from Sam and only pretended to be interested in capturing ghosts.

Heyooo I'm from ProjectComment  : )

First thing im going to mention is this character is really cute and has an appealing design. : )

Since this was meant to be a ref sheet im not going to get too picky about the posing, but I will mention that the art is leaning slightly. Usually, you can catch this by flipping the canvas or in case of traditional you can hold the sketch up to a mirror and correct it from there. His feet also arent level. One is slightly lower than the other. This can be fixed by using a straight edge like a ruler and making a line where the ground would be. You can always erase this later.

Something else I noticed is that his hood(..?) doesn't seem to be connected to anything? It looks kinda stuck on. With hoodies, the fabric for the hood is connected to the front so there would be no line separating the front of the shirt and the hood itself. 

Your coloring is really smooth and clean, but your linework seems a little bit messy. Be careful not to "Pet" some of your lines. Its when someone will lift up their pen and then continue making the line over and over. Try to make them one continuous stroke. Your linework is also a bit shaky in some places. Practice making your lineart more confident by trying to fill a page with circles, lines, squares, whatever you want really. Try doing them a tad more quickly to prevent them from getting wobbly.

Overall this looks really nice! I didn't have much to say about it to be honest. I hope this all made sense and can help in some way lol.

Thank you so much and thanks for the fave and watch!!
I often forget I can use a mirror or a straight edge for stuff like that, so I'll try and apply that now~
The filling a page with line art thing sounds like a fun thing, I'll try it when I can!

Hi there!
I've wandered over from ProjectComment !

id like to start by saying I really love the character! He looks awesome, and I love your style.

My advice to for something like this is to add a background - with the right background, a drawing can really ‘pop’ off the page, and I feel that’s what this design is missing.

keep up the awesome work!

Very cute character, although i think it would be even better with a more dynamic pose? The clothes are very cute, love it!

Thank you!!
You're right about that, this was a slightly older ref I never posted till now, I plan on trying to work on the poses showing a bit personality with future ones

He looks pretty cool and I can see Casper enjoying his job in hunting down ghosts.
