Thank you for asking, I'm happy to give some tips!

I'll hopefully be able to make a full drawing tutorial in the future, but, in the meantime, here's some tips and a quick process video of me creating some otta sketch pages that can hopefully help you visualize how I construct them!

First, some tips:

The first thing I recommend is to break the otta down into simple shapes. Using circles, rectangles, triangles, and other shapes to build up the structure is a great way to simplify complex anatomy.

Here's some examples of that using an otta model I made a while back:

See how I used simple shapes to break down sections of the otta's body? If you use these same shapes to start your drawing, it's easier to build up the form and get a handle on the proportions before smoothing everything out and adding details. You can even break the above shapes down even further and turn things like the head, shoulders, thighs, etc. into circles and ovals (you'll see me do some of that in the below video).

The second thing I recommend is to study and draw the animals the ottas were inspired by! If you draw these animals and break their anatomy down into simple shapes too, it will be easier to piece the ottas together. I've included a bunch of reference images below the cut at the bottom of the post to help with this.

Second, a time lapse:

Here's a video of me working on some rough otta sketch pages. In a couple places I show how to draw the simple shapes and then build the form around them. You'll also see me starting with otta "stick figures" that mimic skeletal structure. It's super high-flying, but I hope it can help you visualize the process!

I hope this helps! <3

Here’s the first edition of a printable Mando Character Sheet! You can use this PNG to:

study a canon Mandalorian character

design your own Mandalorian armor & backstory

MandoCreator

All the armor designs in this picture were made on MandoCreator.com. It has a very well-developed and extremely customizable kit-building app that has literally millions of possible combinations without taking into consideration any images or decals you upload yourself. There's also a gallery where you can browse others' creations for inspiration.

Recently MandoCreator expanded from armor design to language. It has a Mando'a-English dictionary that you can create flashcard decks from on the fly.

You can also learn to write and read Mandalorian scripts, both by drawing the characters and by transcribing original Mando'a works. Or, if you're in a hurry, it also has a transcription function.

And for the cherry on top: there is Mando'a Wordle-- Mando'ardle if you will! Same rules as regular Wordle, but only using Mando'a words. (Don't worry, this screenshot is from 12 April)

Clone: maybe? but it doesn't seem fair for me to be adopted but not any of my other siblings...

Mando, sensing an Opportunity: oh that's no problem! I'll just adopt them too! How many siblings do you have then?

Clone: two million

Mando:
