I never said that you had to draw your OCs, heck, Avril L'Épée is a good example of an OC without any art!

There's lots of other free programs you can draw with, such as FireAlapaca, so you aren't limited. Of course, there's always the old method of drawing and scanning, (or even *gasp), drawing and taking a photo!

You won't become a good artist overnight. It takes work. It took me two years to get where I am now and I'm barely even that great. So work! It's worth it.

Anyway. I made my point.

– you don't need OC art for a good OC. We care more about the information

– there's a whole world of free and simply resources

– practise! Using bases isn't practise. Making bases is. Not using bases and doing it all yourself is practise.

If you feel the need for OC ask, request! There's always someone around who will be willing to take a free request. Just look around the deviantArt forums and other art sites!

(I take free requests on NaNoWriMo and NaNoWriMoYWP, y'know, just throwing that out there.)
