Loose reference for my fursona Symphonic.
It was mostly just to get her markings down somewhere because I kept changing them every time I drew her. Perfect anatomy was disregarded for the most part, I really didn't care much about it. Because again, more focused on markings.

Honestly stripe colors don't matter much. They can be anything probably as long as they're all the same. I'm constantly coloring them in blue or red because those are the pen colors I have available.
