if i could donate i would O_O

Like a derp, I didn't realize these donations were going on until after they exceeded their goal... I can't wait to buy the book though. I wonder if there'll be a digital copy available for download?

Holy cannoli, this is amazing! Best of luck to you dear, all I know is I'mma throw ALL THE MONEY AT THIS

I really admire your work so I contributed, hopefully you reach your goal!

Thank you! I hope so too :)

Will shipping to europe be an option?

I'll ship anywhere, yes :)

Can't wait for it to come out! I need all the help I can get.

Yay! I couldn't donate much, but it seems this is moving along nicely anyway :)

Oooh, and a print version? *ker-fund*

I would love to buy that from you ;w; I can't afford to put some for perk up your goals


I think this will BIG success for beginner artist and artist who desire to improve their arts :D

yay i just donated Good luck hun

Oooh, I´ll have to keep an eye on this for when I get paid at the end of the month.
Good luck to you! It looks like this is going to be a great succes! :3

Oh man this will be awesome!
Ill throw money at you when i can
Cause id so use this!

OMG I WANT TO SO BADLY!!!!!

well since im not goin anywhere for spring break anymore to visit waiting till the summer i have sum money to donate hopefully more later

Defiantly made sure to donate on this one!!! Hope it makes it there! I am always looking for some good tutorials and this one seems like it will be absolutely perfect and just what I need. Best of luck to you!!

*definitely....stupid tablet......

Once this is successful, will you be offering your art tutorial through paypal?

Technically, this is through paypal. Indiegogo only uses paypal for funding :) If you mean will I be selling it afterward? Maybe but maybe not, it will really depend on whether or not it gets completely funded lol

well once i get paid again i will donate i want the book :3 i love your art style

definatly getting in on this. i love your artwork, and i could use the help ^^

I also made a journal, i hope this does well :D

DONATED!
i r spcail.


Anyways, I hope this gets funded. Would love to see your insight to digital art...
I'm still trying to get a hold of it (I've got a large Intuos 5 tablet yet I draw like crap), but I'm excellent with traditional means.
So this would help a lot. :D

*funds* I'm a mosaic mouse!

Donated, best of luck :D

Have always admired your colouring and composition skins so I am more than happy to contribute C: 10$ it's a pretty awesome and affordable price so i am more than willing to give it to you. Wish I could contribute with more but I am a starving artist so this will have to do. Hope you can reach your goal and look forward to receiving this tutorials! 8D Good luck!

Ill keep my eye on this just incase i get any funds. I need some help and ive always admired your art. I just cant quite make bills yet so :< I can dream lol

I Donated all I can spare! I love you Demi!!! Good Luck!!! <3

You can do it. ^^

where can we get more information on these tutorials?

What kind of information are you looking for? I've tried to make the info on the indiegogo campaign concise and informative but if you have questions I can try to answer best I can :P

what skill levels will the tutorials address :3
are they for artists wishing to advance their skill set, are they for new artists? ect :3

Donated by the way, sounds fantastic

I'm aiming to make it for all levels of artists to help improve. It won't be like 'how to draw a turtle', it's more about technique and approach. If you have a look at my other tutorials on posing and random tips, that's the approach I'll be using.

gotta get me some of that ^^

I want so much a real book for myself, but with this derp rus-posts... i'm afraid of condition in the end deliver-point.
What delivery service you use?

I use Canada Post primarily but can try using another service if someone informs me their country has difficulty. I've never shipped to Russia before so I don't know if there would be a problem with delivery. I will be shipping internationally, but yeah if there's any specific instructions then let me know.

With Russia it's a really HUGE problem by common post. But by EMS or UPS (had an experience) - it's ok i have heard.

And let's see... How much pages it must be?

I'm not sure yet how many pages it will be, but most likely more than 50.

Best of luck to you! Will the PDFs be available somewhere later?

Maybe, it depends on if the project gets funded fully so I can make them!

Will this include tutorials on drawing humans, especially their faces too? I'm superduper interested in those and I know you can do them really well. :3

Nothing specifically about drawing faces, I feel like there could be an entire book written about that alone. I forgot to mention that facial expressions would be included though... I could add it as a potential additional tutorial of human faces if people would be interested in that.

I'd be super interested in those if you made them ^^

I think you will make your goal by the deadline, you are already doing so well in the day its been up. Cant wait to get my copy. ^.^

An art tutorial book done by an artist that I know and love? I'm so there, I'm tired of the same old half-assed, cookie cutter 'how to draw' tutorial books. I wanna be able to art like a pro without having to pay for classes like one, hopefully this will help out with that. Count me in.

Although, after taking a look at my empty void of a bank account it'll have to wait for 4 more days. College expenses, you know how they be.

18 year old me: "Student Loans are amazing, I can go to school and still afford to get shit-faced everyday."
23 year old me: "FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU I need booze... "

I should mention that the book won't make you a pro or anything, but hopefully will help give informative pointers and techniques to help artists improve. I really suggest going to life drawing classes big time, even if it's just once a month or so. :)

lol I know, that wasn't what I meant, I just meant that I'm sure that it would help me out more so than other furry how to draw books that I picked up that gave a very vague over view of the actual 'how to' part and just pictures of how it should look. Judging by your description your book will be more than that. C'mon I'm trying to give you a compliment lol. I was more or less kidding when I said like a pro, I just want to do something better than my usual left handed chicken scratch. Plus my fiance, was a graphic design major in college and took a ton of art classes. She agreed to help me out. But, if I do become more interested in it then i will absolutely pursue some classes for myself.

Either way good luck, and I'm looking forward to it.

My little sister has been dying to read more art tutorials to improve her work so I have totally donated :D

Around how many pages are you guessing?

I'm not entirely sure, but probably more than 50 lol

I can try and donate later. :D

YAY it's fun to contribute

Awesome ;) 37 days is alot, I doubt this will be up for too long! But a tutorial from you, that's epic win! I hope I get paid like I am promised soon so I can grab this myself <3!

Also, if that's really your picture, yar damn pretty x3!

This is so very clever! I may just have to invest in a copy :)

I've always been a big fan of your work. Contributed! Good luck!

i'll donate next payday.

I've just contributed. I really like your work, you're a great artist and I wanted to do it (also, I'm practice drawing so, a tutorial is all benificial to me ;) ) ! :)

is this going to be a tutorial for digital, traditional, or for all media? and will it be in book stores if it makes it?

It won't be in book stores, but the tutorials will be aimed to help artists of any media. It's not a step-by-step tutorial, it offers actual techniques and advice on how to approach painting and drawing rather than going 'here is a circle, now add triangles for ears' sort of approach :P There may be a few tutorials that seem digital specific, but very few.

I donated!! THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN <3

Nice idea with the Tutorial. It looks very good.

I'm looking for taur tutorials. Will there be anything to help in making them?

Sorry, no, nothing so specific as an entire species hehe.

Over 60%! Going up fast! ^^

Happy to help. I was wanting a tutorial from you. XD

I need to ask..

What like skill level is this book directed at? I'm considering the 10$ pack with the PDF but I know about art theory and technique, I'm just wondering if this is basic stuff or if you've gone into detail? Looking at my art now would you say your book would help me or would it be a bit too simple, in your opinion?

Thanks a lot if you can get back to me on this that'd be great. :) I've got a lot of art books and this looks nice from what I've seen of it so far.

I think intermediate level artists can still learn from it. A lot of it will be things I learned over the course of a four year degree in art, so hopefully no matter what level you're at there will be something helpful in there.

Alright awesome. Thanks for the reply.

Can't man gave a lot right now but managed to toss a couple bucks your way. I'm all for funding things like this. I really hope you can make the goal!

Would these tutorials be good for someone who is just starting to learn and stuff? Or are these more for artists who kinda already have all the basics?

This should be helpful for intermediate/advanced but even beginners can learn from it I think... A lot of it covers what I've learned over the course of four years of college, where I started off pretty beginner-esque with some talent and got better along the way.

I have little talent, but am wanting to improve so i'll sign up. Every little bit helps, and maybe it'll get me more motivated to practice more.

Aww i wish it was a printed copy, but a PDF is just as good ^^ I'll be sending money later owo

Secondly, will it be up for sale after the fundraiser?

I need to get one of this ;w; neeeeed to fund!

I am ALL KINDS OF ON IT!
waiting for commission money to come through, then I'm all over dat mosaic mouse :'D

G'DAMN! I wanna it too! >:C

Holy shit its only been 1 day and we are already over a halfway there D:::::

wow amazin it's almost on it's goal

Well, I funded you and got the doodle dog perk, I really do look forward to the completion of this.
I really want to see what kinds of improvements I can make with my art upon reading this.
Thanks alot for this, Demi, I'm sure it'll help many others work their way to achieving higher levels of skill like your own =3

BAM!

I do have a concern/question: a lot of artists in their tutorials showcase a specific art program (one that, frankly, I probably don't use)...will a lot of the painting techniques be described so they can be geared towards any type of paint-capable program?

It won't stop me from purchasing because it looks like there's plenty of other relevant information, but I am curious.

Because the tools I use in my program are extremely basic, you should be able to do the equivalent with any type of medium or software (digital or traditional). A lot of the techniques have more to do with art and approach than the tools you're using. I'll be including what brushes/layer settings and such I use for the curious, but they are by no means necessary to grasp the concepts I'll be trying to teach :)

Rock on! Thank you for answering. :3

Contributed what i could <3 This is an amazing idea darling! You are already almost to your goal =D

Man, I wish I could contribute. I do like your art a lot

im definitely gunna contribute :3

lol My first thought was,"COOL! An art tutorial book!" And then I saw the title and I burst out laughing. I need to get it.

mymymy only 500 to go, and it only has been about 9 hours

I'll give you money if you make a section dedicated to hand paws and foot paws.

Gave ya the $25 for a copy of this myself. Love your work and your style. If this becomes an actual book I'll be sure to buy it!

I was planning on hands for sure, not so sure about feet because I'm not entirely great at those myself yet, but I'll try to include something XP

Sweet! And you rock at foot paws, dont kid yourself! *hugs*

A signed & printed copy from my favorite artist? Sold! ^^
Also, I too love the way you draw paws! xp

Bwahahaha My boyfriend and I couldn't decide on who would get the book so we got two! xD Love love love your color work and comp/layout stuff! Can't wait to see the print version!

interesting an artist like yourself willing to teach what you learned over time. that's a nice gesture.

well eh xD i went for the pdf copy c:
im still not sure why it ask for shipping if its a digital copy (right?)
i really dont think shipping would work to my country >.>, and besides apparently it doesnt has a postal code so eh xD
but good luck with ur campaign!! owo im sure it will help a lot of artist souls~!

I think it just automatically asks in case there is something physical to be shipped. But yeah, it isn't necessary for the pdf copy. Thankyou for contributing!

hehe <3 i hope there is something around there for sexy eyebrows!!!
i always admired how u draw em ; w ; totally inspiring~!

just sent 10 buckaroos to the cuase, cant wait to read what you have to teach us

My dime's in, Congrats on the funding, and hooray for the rest of us!

Contributed~ Congrats on reaching the goal too! :3

Just a confirmation... $50 has a printed and signed version right?

Yep :)

Yey I threw money at you aswell :3

Got a perk Doodle Dog! YAY!

goal met + some extra in less than a day
congratulations :D

Congrats on making your goal!

I'll think about it a little and I might just get a doodle dog perk :)

Would Love a book but the $50 perk is full x3, will make do with pdf then. Love these tutorials all the awesome artists are doing. ^.=.^

What is the style in general of the tutorials? Digital art, painting, sketching and drawing by hand?

Wooooo! GOAL! Congratulations Demi ^_^ !

Contributed as well - I'm so glad a) this worked out so fast for you, and b) that you're doing it. I've got tons of art tutorial books, but nothing furry-centric, so not as useful as I had hoped. I really look forward to seeing your work on this. Heh, great name too by the way. :P

can i still buy pdf version even after the campaign is over?

it's overdonated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
yaaay I'm sooo excited
I want those tutorials I've got so stuck with my artworks, you will help me a lot

Goal met! Donations still pouring in! Donating for a doodle doggy! Cant wait to see how this turns out!
And I second an above mention about a section on feet and hand paws, especially feet, Yours always look so fluffy & cute! <3

XD Do you see all our addresses, even for the Doodle Dog level where there's nothing to be sent by post? It just seemed kinda creepy to be asked for that kind of irrelevant personal info

I don't see the addresses through indiegogo, but paypal provides them for all payments regardless. I think indiegogo asks for it automatically because it doesn't yet have a set up where I can specify to it which perks involve shipped goods and which involve digital goods (so it defaults to physical goods just in case).

I have a question, there will be pdf wersion avalibe? Like I will pay and you will send me the pdf file of your book? Because the shipping can be really expensive to my country..

Yeah I'll be sending pdfs by e-mail, that's the 10$ one :P

Really wish there were more 'Mosaic Mice' allowed.

Just now saw this and want to get a in-hand copy but I don't have $100 for the 'Frescoed Fox' :c

Sorry if it's been asked before, but, what art programs will the tutorials cover? Thanks :D

The tutorials aren't really about the software. I use Paint Tool SAI myself but the techniques described will be applicable across programs and mediums.

Can't agree with you there. Inking and color blending always looks smoother through SAI than photoshop. Hoping someday they will make a mac version.

$10 contributed. Can't wait! Love your style and can't wait to see the tutorials <3

how much will the book cost when published?

Looks like you exceeded your goal and have a lot of community support! Congrats on your project!

Awesome to see that you're already surpassed your goal!
I was wondering though, will there be printed copies available for those who didn't have the chance at the donations?

Good luck with everything!

No, sorry, very limited print run. PDFs will be the only thing available after the indiegogo unless there happen to be a few spare, but there won't be very many if any at all.

Ah, thanks for the info!
I took the chance to just contribute enough to be able to get the printed copy instead then! x3

Can´t wait to see it all together and finished. :3

Just made my contribution. I only had enough for $10, but it made it the $8,000 even. Can't wait for the pdf. I really do love your work and appreciate you helping us take our first steps.

may have a think about this hmmm

Yay! I'm a Doodle Dog I wanted to be a Mosaic Mouse but they're all gone :(

Congrats on the project and I can't wait to learn! ^.^

any plans for the remaining Frescoed Fox copies? already donated for the Pdf, but i would love to get my paws on a hard copy if it was possible :3

XD Now I'm doodle dog. I can't wait for the pdf file. I'm excited to learn from you.

fffffff

Wow, I'm so glad I came back to fa in time to catch this! Just sent my $10 for a pdf. u vu

Why!!!!! Why didn´t I hear of this before!!! Waa!! :( I entered to the page exactly 2 minutes before it was over, and the I saw I forgot my wallet in a friend´s house, I feel dumb D: I was really hoping for the printed version :(

Yay! So glad I did a Frescoed Fox! Waited the whole time from day one too! Can't wait for the awesome hard copy!

question, why do we have to wait till may to get the pdf? guessing its not done yet?

Yes, that's the point of these campaigns. Usually the project needs funding before it can be created. It ensures that I don't waste my time creating an entire book without the funds to support it.

Is the pdf up for sale now or no?

Has I MISSED IT? O-O "

WHYYYY did i miss this? *le sigh* I would've loved that PDF file. Are you doing this again, or is it available for purchase still?

There are SO many comments, so many I couldn't read them all >.< but I wondered How this is going now? And how much said book would cost by the time said funds were raised ^^

It's complete now, all the people who ordered printed copies have been sent theirs (with the exception of a few who had invalid postal codes and I'm contacting for fixes). I am selling the PDF still for $10 but printed copies are very limited. Once I'm sure every contributor got theirs, I'lll sell the extras, but there aren't very many and I'm not certain of a price yet. I don't want to sell it for less than the contributors paid because that makes it seem like I'm ripping off my contributors, who invested and waited patiently for the product. So it won't likely be sold for less than $50.

Would it be possible for you to note me your Paypal so I can send you $10 for a PDF? :o

I need to check how much I have, But hopefully I'll be able to send you some moneys ^^

There's a form thingy I made just for this, just fill it out and I'll send you an invoice for the PDF :) It's very easy this way for me to keep track of who I've sent invoices, who's paid, and who I've already sent an e-mail to with the PDF. You can pay the invoice whenever you're ready to. Thanks a bunch! Here's the form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1kL.....PDWnE/viewform

Did you make this option available anywhere else? I found it hard to find, and I'm not familiar with indiegogo.

Can anyone fill out that form? I'd like to buy a copy too! I already filled it.

i want one so much! i filled out a form for one but never got an invoice :/

I try to get one, but no answer, it is always open ? ^^

*Que excited screeching* I love your painterly kind of style!
