all i can say is you draw better then i do :P example, http://i.cubeupload.com/5s9UtO.jpg lol ^_^

though best bet for possible thoughts would be to watch other people stream and maybe youd get some ideas on how to make things even better :P

o ok cool and thank you very much =D

The basics of drawing are usually referred to as "art fundamentals" if you're googling, and are the basic rules of proportion, perspective, composition, colour theory, and so on. One good point of study for figures is the "ideal figure" which is a set of rough ratios for the human body generally based on head size (look up Wikipedia's article "Vitruvian Man" for a list of them). Even if you're doing highly stylised figures, any decent artist will tell you to study the fundamentals first; ie, you should know what the rules are before you try to break them.

You basically need to understand what you're drawing in order to draw it; beneath the outline of the figure are a series of structures all of which obey rules. Bones are easy, muscles are harder (you have no idea how stupid the human shoulder joint is until you study it) and skin and hair you're probably better off learning from life studies because it's complex.

A great starter art book is "How to Draw What You See" by Rudy De Reyna. Don't skip the lessons that seem pointless; those dumb exercises in drawing and shading cylinders, cubes and spheres they made you do in art class are actually to teach you how to make the fundamental shapes from which you can make literally anything. A great anatomy resource is "Human Anatomy for Artists" by András Szunyoghy. I've also heard good things about "How to Draw Comics the "Marvel" Way" by Stan Lee.

Do not buy anything by Christopher Hart, the man is a talentless hack who has no clue what he's talking about.

o okay, cool, and thank you. About Mr. Hart, he seems to remind me of Ken Penders for some reason =P

I had a look at his art and, you're right, his drawings are a bit (i don't really know the words to describe it) but it did put me off.

Yeah, a lot of his anatomy is just...bad. Generally if you see an image in one of his books that looks good, he probably got someone else to draw it.

One furry-related pair of how to books that are more useful are Draw Curries and Draw More Furries by Lindsay Cibos and Jared Hodges. You'll still need your fundamentals and anatomy to get the most out of them, obviously, most artists will tell you never to try using a "how to draw X" book as a be-all and end-all reference even if it's a good one.

Also sorry I didn't re-post your meme, I'd like to but I'm worried I would find time to reply to anyone if they actually tagged me. Busy trying to get my desktop PC up and running so I can do some drawing. :)

*Draw Furries. Thank you too, spell check.

I have a drawing book called "Furries Forever" where there is a section featuring some of the artists found here on Furaffinity =D
