Sadly I cannot give advice not being an artist but I do hope you enjoy drawing and can't wait to see what you draw. ^.=.^

Thanks hun! I'm happy to be able to draw again! ^.=.^

I'm not so great at drawing, but I'll often play around with colours on lineart bases, just for leisure.

Thanks. I gotta learn how to color too. I can make lots of line arts.

You draw better than I do!
Especially at coloring!
Drawing feral stuff on fa isn't it!
Oh.....?
My advice?
Draw sumpthin. ....leave it.... look at the drawing a couple of hours later..... I garante that you'll be wanting to redraw a certain part of the drawing! Then leave it for another day. .. then maybe you'll be satisfied with it or come up with a better idea or way to draw something. ...
That works for me!
Cause I always was a little too hasty draw and post something and wished that I didn't post it a certain way!
But with traditional art..... that's a permanent goof up!
I'm too cheap to work my way up to digital art!

Awww...thanks for the nice words honey bear. *Hugs* I still feel like I'm really bad at art though. Gotta practice!

And you're absolutely right! I do that sometimes when I draw. Take a break and come back to it with a whole new perspective. And it's high time I try drawing anthros now too. :3

I like your feral fursonas.
But I guess that whut most furries be looking for. .....
Having their characters all dressed up like and have shame of being naked like hyumans!


I learned a lot over the years. ...
And being nosey. ..and seeing your humble beginnings. .
You've come a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way baby!

all of what Tyrone said...


but yeah, dont be so hard on yourself you draw well... but being critical of yourself is good, drives you to do better.. just dont be to critical.
ill add to that to just draw for your self..not others,,
i find i draw my best and most importantly enjoy it most when i draw simply for myself and because i want to draw just for the sake of drawing.....

Thanks so much buddy. It is important to draw what makes you happy so art doesn't become a chore.

It depends on what you want to improve or atists you like...

I can tell you my way: I begin with anatomy reference books (andrew loomis), and I try a lot of diference things (flat shading, shading, different styles of applying color),

The head and expression are very important (if the expression is cool the rest of the body mistakes are far less noticeable).
Do not try to make things too complicated, its a better way simple draws to improve a particular thing (that draw i want to draw a cool head, that draw i want to draw a cool body, now both)
If something is wrong, don't be afraid to erase.

I never like my own drawings...But It is an excuse to improve faster. I'm very nooby on this, but I hope I've been helpful.

Hugs! Coso

Yeah. I want to learn anatomy. I gotta try everything just like Zootopia says. X3

*Hugs back* Thanks so much hun! ^.^

I do agree that knowing anatomy really helps. There are books on this that you can look at. Knowing the skeletal structure is important for keeping the shape right, for instance. I got better at drawing dinosaurs by having a better understanding of the skeleton. Now I should make mention that you don't have to know the names of all the bones; just a general idea of what the skeleton looks like.

Another thing to mention, what also helps me (though not everyone uses this technique) are using shapes to help construct the image. It's hard to describe this, so I may make a video to try to be more clear. But pretty much, using very lightly drawn shapes can help define the shape and pose and allows you to work on the image overall instead of little by little. Like I said, not everyone uses it, but for me, it's been quite useful.

I must definitely learn how to do this or I don't think I will be able to advance. I will try my best to learn these things. Thank you so much DH.

Oh and one more thing. Now this isn't something I do personally (though I should try it), but one other thing that really helps is flipping the image horizontally (if the character is facing right, make them face left) a few times during the course of drawing. This will help you pick out mistakes much easier.

You see, when you look at a drawing one way for long enough, you don't reallly notice anything peculiar. But if you flip it, it makes the pic look different, and anything odd can be more easily picked out.

So every once in a while, flip the image. It doesn't have to be constant. Just..whenever you get a good amount done, flip it and check it out. If anything seems wrong, try to fix it. Flip it again, doublecheck, and keep going from there.

And you're welcome!

This is some very awesome advice. I definitely would agree with everything you're saying. I will use all this information. :3
