It seems I've had an FA account for a long time now, and I apparently forgot. Good thing I checked! Heh. Anyway, for the past few days, and maybe some more to come this week. I'll be uploading some of my stuff. Some of it kinda sucks though. Since the majority of my work is on my DA page, I wont even bother trying to bring it all over here, nor would I want to. I'll be putting on here the people and animals only. Not even sure if I want to put up my humanoid people on here or not. I'm thinking about it. First is the anthro though and the animals. ^_^ I hope you enjoy.

I've been drawing for a long time now, but I'm just starting to get into proper-like anatomy. It also just so happens that a lot of my stuff lately is mature work. It seems to be what I've recently taken enjoyment in drawing. I've taken a lot of my inspiration from Frank Gembeck Jr. Yeah I know he got himself into some heavy shit. I don't much care for the man in that light, but it doesn't mean I'll like his art any less. At any rate, I enjoy using some of his work as reference material for posing and expressions. I'm getting better at coming up with my own poses and expressions, but sampling his art has really helped me a great deal. So if you see some of my stuff that looks familiar, that's probably why.
So, if you see the original image that you think I used the pose from, and I don't have it linked in the comment, please note me and I will add it on there right away! Thanks!

"Look at other artists' work. Look at all kinds of styles; not just furry/fantasy art. By viewing other art, you can get a feel for how the artist works, and that will in turn help you improve. Like how one artist does eyes? Like the fur texture another artist does? Try analyzing it and try it yourself. A lot of artists, myself included, began drawing by copying other artists. That's fine for when you're starting out. The key is to gradually move beyond copying and developing your own style. The less you rely on just one artist's style in favor of drawing together bits and pieces from many artists as you learn, the better, as it will get you going on your own style. Don't ever feel like you have to conform to any given style, either. Your own imagination is honestly your best guide, and a personal style will just naturally emerge over time."
Great words to go by, and I've done just that, and I'm getting better, I'm able to start to look at someones picture I like, and start to mimic it, but at the same time starting to change it into my own style. I keep working like this and soon I'll be able to do it all on my own, without wanting to follow how they did their pose, and to make my own.
So for all you "omg you traced" whiners, shut the fuck up, because I don't fucking trace. So stop being so snub nosed and stuck up.
