I cant ever get appendages right, so i try and stay more toward headshots when im doodling.

Genitalia...getting it to look the way I want it to is a bitch!

To get through it I find photos and doujins that have detailed pics of what I'm trying to draw (most recently a vagina) and try to duplicate it. Then I practice doing it on my own with no reference until I get it to where I want it. Unfortunately, there's almost no way to hide the genitalia in the pics where it's being drawn (well duh it's meant to be seen!) so I HAVE to get it right. On the other hand this forces me to practice and get better.

naked chibis and hands. goddamn fuckin hands.

lol scuse my language

hands and feet X3

Same here. :I

Me too :(

Ditto!

same

Hands and feet are still proving to be a huge challenge for me. And noses. I have no idea why I have such a huge problem with noses. Haha. And it's not something you can hide!! Usually with hands and feet, if I can't get it to work after several attempts, I try to pose it out myself or find reference somehow. It doesn't always work, but I may find something that works better then what I had in mind. ^^;

Facial structures. Unlike humans, animals of different species have many different types of head structures.

I mean you can start out with a canine, then erase the ears, put bunny ears in it's place and shorten the muzzle and "presto", you have a rabbit. It would seem like something doesn't look right.

However, most anime style artwork minimizes this since it follows its own rules on how to draw the face/head.

Another, even bigger, issue for me is hair. I personally try to avoid drawing the hair in calculated clumps. I try to incorporate more individual strands to try and give the hair a slightly more natural look. But it sometimes proves difficult to find the proper balance.

Like anything else, the best is to find a picture that has the result you like. Then break it down in your mind how that artist created it then try to recreate yourself.

oh man.. muzzles are hard for me. I suuuuck at them. Probably why all my anthro's look more human then animal.

Honestly, I never got that vibe from you. The way you draw your characters, I really don't see a huge need for a muzzle unless you deal with characters with long muzzles. The way you draw them, it works for you, and rather well in my opinion.

For me it is the hands. God, I sooo suck at drawing them. I oftem end up with an angle that won't show all the fingers so I won't mess it up. From time to time, I get some decent hands.

Also, feet are as hard to draw.

aww really? i've never noticed your hands being bad at all.

I always loved the way you drew feet Chalo, they are so cute!

When I have trouble with hands, I use my own hands to model what I need, so I can get an idea of what it SHOULD look like... when I have trouble with anatomy, like how someone's sitting or posing, I usually look for references from google images or my favorites... and when I have trouble with hair, which happens A LOT... I just try, try, try again until it comes out semi-decent.

That's most of my problem areas. xD

ive actually taken pictures of my own hands and used that when i get really stuck.

A good idea. =3

definitely the legs... and hands... thay are way difficult to draw XS

I love your icon. 8D

Hands, feet, and just being diverse with the anatomy (proper chubby or skinny characters, etc).

i have that problem too. All mine have the same shape. I need to branch out more.

Same here.. ;;

The face is my most difficult area to draw for me. I was never good at getting the parts exactly the same.

Hands and Most male forms are an issue for me. lol

Bwahaha...hate the hands and feet >o<;

Tends to put shoes on then to cover them feets up ^^;

Muzzles, HANDS AND FEET omg i don't even understand why i can't draw them

Legs.

hands and..... manly parts... yeah.
everything else i'm pretty ok with

Pant crotches, actually. I keep drawing them with unnecessarily-emphasized bulges, as if their pants are pulled reeeaaally tight.

Ooooh! Thats a good one! I oddly have a hard time with those too! Boys are harder... cause they have junk there. It can't be all tight looking like it can on a girl.

Arms and hands give me the worst for me.

NAUGHTY BITS. :c

in Short ... everything.

paws and feet ........ legs then arms ... torso ...um ..... head , hair, eyes, ears ..... i think thats it...... wow that like almost an etire character , thank god i can draw wings otherwise that be really embar assing

uhm... everywhere. Mostly though it's the groin and hands and feet.

And no I don't mean the genitals. I mean the way the legs and the body and the butt come together.

Thankfully The best way I have to found to remedy this deficiency in other areas is to study them, so I have an artistic excuse to look at a lots of butts and crotches.

Noses and muzzles in general mess up my entire facial structure when I try to draw. @.@ Jaws are a pain as well. Well, I guess faces in general. >>;

feet. I hate feet XD And different angles of the face and muzzles... blargh.

Breasts. I can never get them right. That's why I draw so much guys...

wrists...especially when it's not aligned with the elbow. >_<

I actually do eyes well, but then again I really like drawing eyes.

My main area of trouble use to be hair. I'm getting better, but drawing hair is soooo hard. >_< It just tend to look flat and pasted on instead of attached to the head.

Hands, of course, although it's getting better.

The main thing I'm having trouble with is proportions, especially when you toss in perspective. I know it's a basic thing, but when I try something such as kneeling from behind, the legs tend to look short and weird. >_<

Hands and feet, are really tricky. Also butts and breast (in girls of course)

Butts are hard for me too ;-; probably why you dont see them in many of my pictures.

Yes, specially when you want tod raw tails over them XD

oh yes! Kayi's tail is GREAT for hidding things i can't draw. Her butt being one! hehehe

Hands and feet are so hard...

I feel like mens hip to thigh area is pretty complicated to draw without making it look like a girl's hips.

feet and shoulders can be an issue for me, I usually just look at refs/other people's work and sketch on scrap paper until I find a shape thats acceptable for the current work.

I really never started drawing furry art until this year, so I find muzzles to be the hardest thing to draw. I've been drawing human figures since I was about 5. I'm good at those. My last problems to conquer with the human figure though, were knees and feet. Oh, and backs.

for me, its heads and faces. These are the most important areas for emotion (besides pose, which I also have trouble with), so I really need to practice it,

Legs~ Definitley legs. All from the hips down to the feet. :< It feels like such a roll of the dice some nights. Just luck, no science. ^^;

Also, manly shapes. But only the skinny to normal types. The more muscular the easier. :X

muscles are harder for me. we need to share each other.

Share eachother...

I like the sound of that x3

hands and feet are deffinately my problem area TT,TT...*sigh* sometimes it's get's so bad that I end up cutting out a lot or adding in something else to cover it up.

as for how I deal with it now...well, whenever things aren't going the way I want in the initial sketch or I just can't figure out how I want to go about starting, I'll usually end up pulling up some sort of a reference and/or go back to using basic shapes.

Feet and butts, they are truly a devil to draw x_x

Muzzles

Definitely muzzles.

I hates them precious.

It burns us! *wrythe*

I'll figure it out one of these days!

Hands, feet, and almost anything to do with male anatomy (except the genitalia. For some weird reason I am able to draw male genitalia better than female genitalia.) :(

Hair and eyes; I struggle for a long time trying to get either to look pleasing. I'll go crazy OCD if an eye is 1 pixel off where it should be.

hands and feet are my bane, tough little fuckers they are.

I just sketch it out a million times until each eye looks right. Like, really loose and messy because loose and messy looks best. (I like my pictures when they're in the sketchy stage best because the minor flaws are overshadowed by excess lining). And then line in how you feel it flows best. Let your eye and pen work together to decide where the line goes somewhere in that jumbled mess. And somehow it works out. If not, just erase the clean line and follow another one of the jumbled ones because -somewhere- in there is that one perfect line that you're looking for.


Or just draw hair in the way.

Hands and feet. I suppose I'm not the only one.

Shoulders and legs.

I can't get faces right. I want to create faces that people recognize and remember. My heads/faces all look very generic or just crappy. This is especially true for furry art. I've almost given up as you can tell from my gallery there's only one pic that I drew myself.

Me, well, it's hands and feet mostly. I seem to do pretty well with the arms and legs as well as the torso.

One character of mine doesn't have hands or feet just the ends of her long arms and legs glow. She uses some kind of levitation to move about and her "hands" just levitate what she needs to grab. One could call that cheating but her case was by design.

ugh, hair and hands (and sometimes feet) are immensely irritating to me :( I just can't get hair to look natural or appealing, hands are just difficult for me, and feet can be hard for me to get just the way I want them, since I love them so much

Foreheads and hair, then the hip area. Every time I think I have it figured out, I screw up again. >.<

Currently, everything. In general, like most people so far, hands are my biggest issue. I can never make them look natural, so they hide a lot. The crotch area also gives me a lot of trouble, and I tend to cover that by having one leg in front of the other, but that's not a big help in my case.
I think mostly my temper is my biggest problem. I can see a great image in my head, but I've never been able to put what I see in my head on paper, not even close, so I get very frustrated and give up. Gotta get over that, but I don't know how at the moment. I've mostly been blaming senior year art classes, when what I wanted to draw and what I had to draw were completely opposite things.

hands have always and probably will always be my problem area :P

For me I have some difficulty drawing the breats and getting the structure of the face, like the eys and nose.

Those are the two things I have most trouble with.

I would say hands are still making me nuts sometimes X3

I have the most trouble woth matching the size of the head to the body. And I can't draw females that well, and if there is more than one person one the picture, I have a hard time fitting them both on the page.

I find hands very hard to draw, I'm better at feet but still struggle- even legs can be hard. I think sometimes coming up with 'cool poses' is hard-- some nights I can't get faces right or something seems 'off'. It can be frustrating knowing 'something' is wrong but you can't quite correct it.. it always helps to get input from other artists though, it has helped me exceedingly.

I got difficulty on pussies and breasts but sometimes....on obscure poses. D: This is getting a big pain in the butt for me.
