>>9716534To learn plushie pattern drafting, try starting with the book "Stuffed Animals from Concept to Construction, by Abigail Glassenberg. Good intro for beginners, lots of info, patterns to try, mini lessons, technical stuff. If you can find the out-of-print book, "Designed Your Own Stuffed Toys" by Anne Dyer, that's a great follow up to Glassenberg's book. More technical, harder concepts and drafting info/techniques.
If you can get into the FB group Plush Artists United, they're okay for answering specific questions, but not good for general teaching for beginners. Aussie plush artist Nazfx has lots of technique-specific video lessons for sale on her Gumroad. Prices are in aus dollars. Caveat is she's good at what she does,but isn't a great teacher, and resorts to lots of "you'll eventually figure it out" statements, instead of explaining how to do some things.
