More from Octofur
Kinda feeling a little furry for the first time, so I gave digital art a shot. Not sure how I feel about it all, but I know that this was quite a fun piece to make.
I know the arms are too short, and the furry parts are a bit too jagged instead of soft... But yeah whatever. Gimme some critique! I'd love some.
I might keep at this, I might not. I dunno. The fandom seems pretty fun, so I'll just browse around for a while. I'm a bit lonely, so it'd be cool to meet some new people. Hit me up, bros. Especially those of you in San Jose.

welcome to the furry community :3
so for starters, it seems like you have the very basics down and you even did a little shading! nice.
a lot of your improvements will come with time and experience, practicing/studying a bit on anatomy (and i'm definitely not an expert on anatomy but hell yeah i'm working on it). some things i'd pay attention to -
-the shorts seem really large in comparison to the rest of the body. adding more flowing lines to loosely follow the legs underneath would give it a "baggy" feeling, otherwise just following the outlines of the legs (somehwat loosely) would give it a tighter fit.
-when drawing legs, you want to pay attention to the definition of the thighs, shins/calf muscles, ankles, and feet. you did it decently enough here to show that you do understand that - that part's mostly going to be practice! sometimes i'll take a picture of myself so i can see the shape of my own body in a 3rd person view to understand better what goes where, but looking up tutorials and understanding the body itself can go a long way
-while it's not something you did here, be sure to keep in mind that the tail doesn't come out of the butthole (some artists put tails way too low). think of your own tailbone!
-one last thing: one of the bigger changes i'd make is, instead of having a solid line on the side of his face, put some definition in there - draw out his brow, have the line curve in where his eye is, then draw out the cheekbone.
hopefully this didn't seem too harsh or anything. what matters when it comes to drawing is the ability to see the world around you and learn/understand how shadows and lines and shapes all interact with eachother to make what's in front of you. don't ever get discouraged, just keep practicing!
