Naturally blonde with sun-darkened skin, he looked more like a beach bum than anything else, with ratty clothes and old flip-flips. He was standing on the boulevard facing the beach, his eyes squinted from the sun. He scanned the crowd, a certain shiftiness in his eyes, and in the way he stood.
That's an example. Just start with the basics, keep to the flow of the story, don't be too specific. You want general descriptions, the reader will fill in the rest in his/her mind.

Hey, just went to your site.. Cool. I just can't believe that I am in the midst of real writers, especially Deaf writers.... I'm not worthy!!! But, greatful I am.
So, in response to your response, I was wondering; would it be advantageous for the Beofewolf to be introduced and then non-chalantly (no clue how to spell that) let the reader know that he is a bear, and his counterpart would be a sow? I am just confused about this. If I introduce a character, don't I need to make my readers aware of their species,,, unless of course I were introducing someone with a secret identity, like a spy etc. But at least if you introduce a character, are you suppose to let the species be known, as in the bear? It had a name, but no identity????????? Help... I am really confused now..
Hey, one more time,, THANKS!
