General
Would you guys have any interest in tutorials, step-by-steps or compilation studies (such as this)?
If so, what would you like to see? :D
If so, what would you like to see? :D
(As I think its not easy to get whitch part where can bend in what direction).
:D
^^
I'm also terrible with drawing two eyes the same shape in traditional media, I would have a major issue with drawing eyes on a sculpture if it had turned out right. >_<
TEACH ME YOUR WAYS
As for subject... that might be up to you.. you do them all exceptionally well.
The obvious choices are felines ( I might be biased in thinking thats obvious) ... lions leopards cheetahs...how bigcats differ from housecats ...
paws... of all sorts ...but not just the anatomy..about about gesturing and posing them in a way that makes it appear natural.
A tutorial on composition or your thought process while working on a commission could also be of interest.
I'm pretty sure anything you make a tutorial will be super useful. But maybe something about how you "blend" animal and human anatomy to create anthro? If that even makes sense xD
ALL THE TUTORIALS!!!!!
Different beak shapes would be really cool to see, as well as bird feet.
Feather types would be cool to see -- primary, secondary, contour feathers, etc.
I'd love to learn more about how you draw/color fur :3
In fact, that one item you've posted, on how to render paws, was GREAT!
Some cat and dog Ears and Noses would be nice. :3
Firstly; I would really love to see how you go about your figure drawing and anatomy. You make your anthro anatomy look so effortless, and it's very difficult to break down your process from finished pieces. I would love to see how you go about constructing your figures. Especially something along the lines of; idea, rough sketch, sketch, drawing.
Second; texturing and highlights, especially with fur. You do excellent textures with paint, especially in fur. It adds great depth to your work, and I'd love to see your thought process behind it.
Finally; backgrounds! Backgrounds are so make-it or break-it in all genres of fantasy art as you know. It would be awesome to see how you go through the process of doing your backgrounds. It's an area you seem to have expertise in, and a real process behind, and something I know many people struggle with. It would be helpful to see how you go about planning a mountainous background vs a forest, vs a savanna. :3
I like those kinda sketchy, kinda finished look. With lines not so bold that it looks too cartoonish and not so thin that it looks like a sketch.
Also sketches/studies on varied species.
I want to vary the species in my comic and make them look more authentic, but it's hard to find a "base" within some species or make them look different from each other.
aka. Bears that actually look like bears, not dogs.
That would be lovely for a start. :)
(that's a good thing, yes?)
Kenket,
As a fan of the 'Furry' for over a decade, seeing yours and other great Artist's work is really, truly a journey down paths both sedate and sensual, arcane and domestic (in all their various forms). I'm not talking just the naughty stuff now! Some of the pictures saved in my 'Simply Awesome!' file have nothing to do with the yiff.
That being said, as someone intrigued with this digital world of art, and by NO MEANS a computer savvy Soul?
In 'Tutorials', might this ignorant steed ask that you/other Artists, maybe talk about the different types of digital tools used to create such wonderful things? I've toured through some software boxes, not really understanding a damn thing about the technicals. Same with the hardware. Drawing pads, pens, et al. It's like looking at the Rosetta Stone but without the translation.
What types of computer programs do you/Others, use, and why? What are the pros and cons between them? What would a PC need to operate them (as-in, specs? I'm just about to invest some serious $$$ into having a new tower built, and I'd LOVE to be able to start pushing coloured pixels around, and see if I have what it takes to share some art).
This may be way over the edge of what you had in mind. If it is, I apologize. I've just had the worse luck in buying things blind, only to find out I can't use them. Now that the $$$ is so very budgeted, I can't afford to make such silly mistakes, but the 'Sales People' at the stores I visit, can't answer even my most basic questions, or ask me things about my PC I myself just don't know (I rely on my Guru Tech. in town to keep it running).
Thanks again for your lovely work and effort. Thanks even more for sharing it!

But I'm special interested in how you're doing your linearts (like in this picture: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15817832/ )
I think you're using ink and a nib? Any tips how to handle that things? :D
Digigrade and incorporating different types of animal legs/feet on human structure. I've always had an issue making this look natural especially when it comes to proportions and drawing different poses (especially flexing muscles).
Same issue with necks, though it isn't quite as problematic.
