Sorry if the audio on this video sounds wonky. I realized that recording in a small room means that there's a bit of an audio issue. I'll likely be upgrading my mic soon and moving my recording space, so expect an audio shift eventually! Along with this, I'd like to let you all know that I'm going to make the conscious effort to put out two videos a month. Yay! As always, if you have any ideas, I'd LOVE to hear them!
Im a plush maker myself and what you said was definately what id have to say to anyone who would be commissioning me! You wouldnt believe the amount of people who send me just a plain reference sheet with no details describinf what they want for specific details, and i wish that more people would follow this advice!
Once I'm skilled enough to start commissioning my dolls, I'm sooooo linking this video, it's just so detailed and informational to potential commissioners
dude HAHA I WAS JUST WATCHING AND MY BUDSIE WAS SHOWN. THATS SO COOL. I got the black and green character with the thin body. just a super cool coincidence!
This really helps! Everyone could use this video. When I used your advice- my commissioner was very pleased with it! The seller even stated "Your references were definitely thorough, I've had to work off of much more unclear references before so I appreciate that."
Im going to make a plushie of of a deercat (hybrid of deer and cat) for my birthday, Im using my normal ref sheet... With MY style. Im exited for it. I think ill be happy with him.
I want to make a Lemon plush when I get the free time! :3 This is good advice, I always double check with my commissioners on fabric color, markings, etc. When people commission me I tend to only get a single picture with only one view. Also, I do want to mention on the ref sheet, where you put "cheap" on the rainbow gill part you might want to put "cheat" or something to that extent. As a plush artist I would feel I had to hand sew the colors together because I cheaped out going with rainbow shag or something similar.
Haha, I'd love to see it! It's referred to as "cheaping" because labor costs money and it /is/ cheaper to use a rainbow fabric as opposed to sewing the colors in one-by-one :)
@@Candycrave ^ Nothing wrong with going the cheap route every now and then. Using some cheaper materials doesnt always hurt the quality of the outcome!
I am a furry, but I have found that the most unexpected fandoms/groups have the best ideas and advice that can translate well to into other things. There might be a better way to word this though.
as a plush maker, this is a great video. I'm going to be sending my clients here from now on if they're stuck on what I need for a reference. You seem like such a joy. I'd love to work for you someday!
I commissioned Budsies 2/3 years ago (before the actual "premium" options) I still laugh at my oc being cross-eyed bc it was on my ref sheet But they actually did something cool! The entire plush is minky except for the prosthetic leg, which is actually kinda shiny and rough
Since my fursona has a deformed hunched spine and very thin,and this is an essential component of their design,so I should DEFINITELY keep it in mind if I wanted a plushie made of them.
_all of these_ apply really well to 3d art, as well. But in that case, you're actually able to have more realistic shapes, and are less limited by reality, as well!
This video is amazing because -axolotl fursona (Scalie? I-I dunno-) -Pajama Sam music (MY CHILDHOOD) -subject that I’m currently struggling with for a goat wip character Thank you for this video btw!
Oooh this so prefect for not just For Plush commission,but also for 3D modeling. I have seen so many people who ask my friend to make thier OCs with out a Ref sheet for him to use,he ending up to turn down their request due to badly made Ref sheet or just a picture of the OCs. As I do agree for the fact, simple art style does help out for the person doing your plushies and showing all views in places that they normally can't see or following style that have same body type, exmple: MLP. As artist who done these type Ref sheet for others to work with my characters. They help alot with what they have and wear, the colours, furs and so on. So a simple Ref Sheet showing all view is great to understand what your OCs are. Love the video by the way.
I just started making plushies and im honestly shocked at my self, They are small but enough to hold in the palm of both hands and im proud since im going to be taking commissions for them! hopefully, the plushie's legs and tail as well as ears are poseable. My plushies would also have a scent of the commissioners choice so yeet!! so my plushies are not really priced since im not sure how much they would be but im leaning with about 10$ depending how many details but if it has about 3-5 colors its 12$ if its about 1-2 colors i would say 8$ and if its more then 5 i would say 15$ but im not sure do you think thats good? I also use minky fabric and fur for hair tail or anything fluffy including chest
I'm aware! But he's in that section because the commissioner used that specific service with the company, since Budsies allows customers to commission plushes of IPs that aren't theirs.
Wow, thank you so much for this video! I am learning to sew to make plushies and a mile long list of other creative projects, but plushies are going to be my priority. I didn't even realize how much I needed this. This is the first video I found of you, and I LOVE your fursona too. Love your presentation, and the info, once again thank you!
This was actually very helpful. I’ll try to remember this whenever I get to commission a plushie (probably from Budsies. ‘Cause I’ve seen their work, and it’s the “style” that is most appealing to me)
I Have been making character plushies fir a few years and this year I’ve only recently decided to start commissions! I stumbled across this video and it’s given me so much thought of things I hadn’t even thought about! I’m definitely going to offer a plushie reference sheet as part of the commission and my customer and I could work on them together! Thanks so much for your help!! 💕✨
I really appreciate how well spoken you are, and as a person who commonly needs to speak on very technical topics in a concise, simplified and meaningful way. It isn't as easy as people make it out to be. I'm doing a presentation to retired NASA personel/engineers on agriculture on Mars, so this video is a good reference for how a technical presentation should be done. Because, not all engineers know what phytoremediation, soil microbes and ectomycorhizal fungi are. Personally, in regards to making a plush: even though I suck at sewing, I'd rather find a way to make my own. Who knows, I might get good at it!
this was a realy good video - Budsie actually put some suggested artist (including myself) as good places to go for refs which is a good idea tbh but personaly my own work is more based on character designs as a base and not actual plush designs so watching this was very helpful.
@candycrave I really love your videos on plushies and commissions. BUT I need some advice.... I recently got a custom commission on a Pokemon plush. The person (on etsy) seemed to have done Pokemon prior and I saw some plushies at a trade show. Went through etsy and waited patiently (no updates but I'm fine with that) When I got my plush though... it was a train wreck. It was nothing like I thought it would be, it came with holes and the nose was not lined up. (the nose was two parts sewed into one and one half was sideways) and it was not the same level of craft as I was expecting. It honestly looked like a joke. What is the best way to approach this? Especially since this person now has my address.
Hi there! First of all, I'm really sorry you had a bad experience with a freelance artist. This is why I usually tell people to do their research, because at the end of the day, you're handing off your money to a virtual stranger. Now, it looks like you did your research, which is great! Unfortunately, there are some red flags here you should've seen early on in the commission process. The fact that they didn't provide you with WIPs meant that there was more margin for error, because you could not point out the faults in your commission since they were never brought up to you. In the future, consider pressing your artist for WIPs, most freelancers will be happy to provide them, unless they're deliberately attempting to scam you. Now, you can't file a Paypal dispute because you did get the product you paid for, but I know Etsy has a built-in review system. Unfortunately, all you can really do is leave a review reflecting your commission experience so that others don't fall victim to the bad business practices you were subjected to. I'm not sure if Etsy has a dispute system, so I'd look into that, if possible! If the artist cares about their image and brand, they WILL work with you to correct the problem. I'm so sorry you had a bad experience with a freelancer, please make sure to do thorough research and potentially contact previous customers next time! Commissioning freelancers is GREAT, but it can be a gamble.
I love your channel so fair and you gave me great ideas on how to make reference sheets for certain things. You've got my sub and I can't wait to see what your channel has to offer. ^w^
This is a really helpful video! I find most people who are disappointed with anthro/furry Budsies have characters with designs that are just way too busy...
Your character is cute, if she were a real plush I'd buy it :D I'm gonna get mine done in the future in about a month or so, I did the drawing design of Joe the Pilot fish from "Help I'm a Fish". I took your advice about drawing the angles and views and I wrote about the details. So I'm hoping it'll turn out as I hoped. I gotta say you're very smart and you've also put me at ease since I'm a little nervous. Thanks for that :)
I had to rush and make a reference for the Christmas sale rush budsie had going on last year and I only drew the front view. Surprisingly it came out fantastic but to be fair my style ranges on the simplistic end of the spectrum so it's likely why. This year I'll try to make a more detailed ref for them. I felt bad I had to give them such a limited image last time
Is this an acceptable description for a company? I'm thinking about adding more detail, and I'm including a reference sheet. o: Kanh has a very round head with two catlike ears on the top. The ears are rounded off and next to them are small, light yellow horns which are also round at the top. Her limbs are stub-like and have no fingers or toes. She has a tail and it is very thin, ending with three points at the end of it. The rest of her body other than the horns is a lilac/light purple (including two small wings that are the same color). She has a very simple face with two stretched black ovals for eyes, a small circle nose, and a smile attached to it. If it's possible, could you attach a small bit of fluff to the ends of her ears? Thank you for your time, Kylie. P.S. I have sent an email to you with a reference sheet of Kanh.
I kind of want a plushie of my Groundhog character Skye, but he has markings on his cheeks of a sun and a snowflake (which aren't really detailed, just more of a circle and a star shape) and I'm not sure if that would be too complicated or not.
I wanna make a plush of my fursona honey lavender. Hes a super easy character with the sort of honey lavender pallet while being almost realistic. I think he ( and his boyfriend) would be easy to make other then his horns which go around his ears
I’m dying to turn an art piece of mine into a plush but I’m so hesitant because I don’t have an OC that I love or am bonded with and I want to make sure that the character I turned into a plushy is worthwhile because commissioned plushies are expensive. So I have to wait until I make an OC that I love.
I’m glad you made this video. I really want one of my drawings to be turned into a plushy because I think it would be really cool to see it in 3-D, and I love plushies but I’m worried it might not come out right and I won’t like it. With a reference sheet like that I’m sure there will be no errors!
I hope everything goes well for you! I actually got this reference sheet turned into a plush by Budsies and don't really have any complaints for how she turned out.
I plan on making a plushie of my ram kangaroo, but I plan on making a template net from a 3D model, Im in the possess of making said model, but its a slow possess, plus, this will just make the project more personal
Not all of this is completely true: just look at the review of budsies sally acorn plush that one is amazing! I think the most important is discribe your character as detailed as possible so they cant miss any important detail. But its also important to show every important detail on your drawing. Also very important show your character from every angle: frontview, sideview, and backview.
I think this was helpful because one day I'm planing on getting a budsie tho my character already looks kinda like a kids drawing because of the style so I won't need to simplify it much again this was really helpful thanks
I've done a feral dragon reference sheet before! I'd say do a side profile as it hits all the important details of the character. Maybe a front & back shot if there's important markings on the chest / snout / haunches. I recommend checking out Creep Cat Toys. They did a series of Wings of Fire inspired plush that may be good inspiration? They're laying on their tummies with their legs splayed out which I think is a super cute pose for feral dragons.
While I'm not a furry but I really enjoy your video. very helpful as I am coming back to sewing and hopefully taking commissions from it, I was thinking of taking one of those bootleg plushes and tear them up to get a pattern of it. I'm not sure since I got some bootlegs plushes at home.
Very wonderfully put informational video on how to make a ref sheet for a plushie! I might link any potential customers to this video in case they need help making the ref sheet ^^ thank you for making this video and have a great day! :D

But its also important to show every important detail on your drawing.
Also very important show your character from every angle: frontview, sideview, and backview.
I think this was helpful because one day I'm planing on getting a budsie tho my character already looks kinda like a kids drawing because of the style so I won't need to simplify it much again this was really helpful thanks
I keep trying to make my own reference sheet for something but I draw so bad :(
Axolotl OC! :D
I’m thinking about asking for them to make a plush of my OC Amber in the future. Thanks for the tips!
I loooooove your character, she's so cute!
I have a question
My fursona is a feral dragon, how well would that translate into both a reference sheet and plush?
I've done a feral dragon reference sheet before! I'd say do a side profile as it hits all the important details of the character. Maybe a front & back shot if there's important markings on the chest / snout / haunches. I recommend checking out Creep Cat Toys. They did a series of Wings of Fire inspired plush that may be good inspiration? They're laying on their tummies with their legs splayed out which I think is a super cute pose for feral dragons.
While I'm not a furry but I really enjoy your video. very helpful as I am coming back to sewing and hopefully taking commissions from it, I was thinking of taking one of those bootleg plushes and tear them up to get a pattern of it. I'm not sure since I got some bootlegs plushes at home.

Ahhhh! I have an axolotl ‘sona too! It’s so awesome to see another!
I'm having my fursona a angle dragon being buddies this video is really helpful for me for that
I draw in a chibi, simplified style anyway. So my plush was pretty accurate. I can see how this can be a bother to better artists than me.
I'm trying to make my own plush and this does help
pretty good explanation gonna try, im remaking my refrence for my rabbit character as the plush i got from budsies was bad
Your. Character. Is. So. Adorable!!!!
This video was super informative and interesting!
I prefer budsies, because I would like my sona’s style to be kept toony.
I think Budsies are relly good o and the oc things are clouds same but the nam one is on sale and it’s open
This was so helpful! Thank you so so so much!💗
I'm definitely thinking about commissioning my OC, Ryuk
