How do you design a new fursona if you don't know how to draw? (pawb.social)

Been wanting to make a new sona lately, putting more thought on the design and colors because my current one was rushed and I didn't add literally anything, most design choices were made by the artist herself, and I didn't really question it.

But what would be a good way to design one if you lack skills to draw/model?

I thought maybe finding artists who are willing to help you with it but ig it'll be hard to find one since they have other clients.

I suppose my other option would be to just grab a pencil and learn to draw lmao.

That is how I learned to draw. You can also use existing bases that you just colour in, and some ugly sketches that you can give artists as reference material. They'll be thankful to have something to go off of rather than solely a description.

Finding an artist that is popular can be an exercise in frustration, finding one on Fiverr with commissions open is comparatively easy.

I might get crucified for this, but I think AI is a good brainstorming tool to see if various colour combinations and such work, as it can be hard to tell if the colours are something you actually like without seeing any approximation of what you imagine the finished design to look like in practice. You might not want to send it to an artist as a reference image though, I can imagine that not being looked at too kindly by many of them lmao
