xD I'm the worst artist ever haha. I wanna learn to draw furries too. Good luck :D

Didn't know you drew, any examples of your work?

I have seen it around, but haven't actually paged through it.

This site forum has a lot of tutorials for everything from furries, to general anatomy, to photoshop. http://vcl.ctrl-c.liu.se/vclforum/showthread.php3?s=59ab975f67ec9bee6854ef1435b511c4&threadid=15129 It helped me a lot when I was starting out.

Also there is a lot of nice videos on youtube. Most are relating to digital art, but there are a few that use traditional media.

Also might want to check Deviant art. There is a treasure trove of tutorials there. Hope this gives you a little bit to page over (There is a mountain of stuff out there XP).

My old job (the library) has some books on how to draw cartoon animals. Check non-fiction 740 to 745. Hope that helps

Went there today, and there wasnt anything, just a book on how to draw dragons...but im not interested in that

I have it. In my opinion its a worth while read! :)

You've drawn something already, and it wasn't bad at all. Art is something you have to train you body and mind to achieve. The more you practice, the more natural it comes to you. It's also like riding a bike, You'll never forget.

Tutorials are like exercises to stimulate you in new ways. In a couple of words, Very good.

i actually heard bad things about that book. that one in particular o.o like 5 months ago...

your best bet is do some stick figures and sausages, the basics of drawing things in general, until you think you have the general sense of proportion (look in a mirror to get ideas... or maybe look at howie, you're a bit tall and skinny XD) generally elbows down to the bottom ribs, hands midway down the thighs. then, look at actual animal pics of the animals you want to draw... like a wolf. at this stage, tracing the wolf head to get an idea of the shape is not a bad thing. once you have an idea of the basic shapes, then throw everything together and you should do fine to start :)

i also find that doing a general line for the direction of the body helps :)

but yeah, study from real life (human proportions and animal features) and you'll do fine :)

i can't find the exact one i was looking for, but these will help

Sweet! THANKS! For now its just a matter of not being discouraged about my crappy circles lol

lol, it'll come with time :)

I own the book it's ok but like all drawing books I never really use them.

It's all a matter of practice and will power. The best artist in the world whether they are drawing cartoons or animals did nothing but human anatomy and life drawing for the longest time. Gotta do the boring real stuff first before you can start producing great cartoons, creatures, or anthros.

Ya know what...that was a pretty good video...And thats kidna what im trying right now is just taking a picture of Deoge then scetching him using my tablet...Hoping by doing this I can then go over the lines again and get an idea of how to make him toony looking

I actually have that book, and I find it somewhat useful but whats easier is anatomy. By understanding the anatomy of an animal you know how it stands, sits, moves, ect. Watching others draw can help a little but you need to know WHY they draw that way, not just watch them. If you wish I can bring the book and my sketching tools along with to Condition. I'd love to have a little doodle time ^.^

Myself and howie would love to watch!

It depends on your style, just doodle around and do basic figures. I learned how to do cartoons by myself just by looking at old cartoons, other artists' work, and other fursonas. As you keep drawing and practicing, you'll develop you're own style of doing furry art.

There really is no concrete way to do furry art, but there are the basics. Then there's the finer side of stuff like anatomy, shading, textures, blah blah blah...those will come with time and experience. Just do simple stuff and let your artistic side grow naturally

At the risk of tooting my own horn, so to speak....

http://www.tfcsl.com/ac2010 - In there is the recorded show I did at A.C. this year.... and at about the 3hr 40min mark I'm interviewing Beowulf and Mandy / TouchMyBadger... I think what Mandy says about learning how to draw might be helpful for you.

im an artist that can teach. :P

Might jsut take you up on your offer when your not so busy one day...*LICKS*

Have you tried http://www.drawfurry.com/
It helped me on drawings yet to be posted.

Arf! Yup! Thanks dude. The local library helped alot...turns out all the furry type books were in the childrens area. I got a bunch

I hope you did not get too many stares walking around with childrens books.
Is there a specific book that helped you the most? Maybe I'll visit the library too and do the same.
