Cute Capybara
Okay, I’ve had sooo many capybara requests—and now it’s finally here! In this super fun Procreate tutorial, we’re drawing the cutest capybara ever. You don’t need any drawing experience or to be a Procreate pro. I’ll walk you through everything step by step, and by the end, you’ll have your very own adorable capybara illustration. We keep things chill, easy, and creative—just the way I like it.
