Zorku that took way too long to finish because of my job. I feel like the fog effect looks kind of cheap and the strawberries were not of the highest caliber to say the least... but time marches on. If I bothered to shade it proper then they'd look better. Oh well.
Jesus said "It is finished".

I saw this in my submissions list without the description, and I didn't realize it was you at first - in a good way! You're improving with each post.
Yes, there are imperfections in this drawing, e.g. perspective might seem a bit wonky, but… in my opinion, you don't give yourself enough credit, either. It's bright and colorful in a fun way, all the essentials are here to convey the scene, an amusing one at that (I'm fond of the idea of giant food, e.g. as in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs), and there's a lovely feeling of fluffiness, too =^.^=
Having the world made in seven days doesn't mean you've gotta become a complete artist in seven posts (going by main gallery). I know I'm just some random fox fella on the Internet, but I hope you're able to find some sense of accomplishment in your artistic endeavors.

Thank you for your kind words and wise counsel. Yes, I suppose that I do not give myself enough credit, though at the very least it has kept me from getting a big head. I do very much intend to continue improving, for sanity's sake.
And yes, Zuul is a very fluffy character both physically and in personality. I am glad that I was able to capture a degree of that tone with her expression. I greatly appreciate that you took the time to see my work and to comment. It really does help.

I'm glad you found my ramblings useful! Knowing this, and hearing from Zorku as well, I'll try offering more going forwards. Most of my hesitation derives from great shyness and limited social energy; it's nothing to do with the quality of your drawings.
Speaking of quality, I agree.. to an extent. There's a balance of avoiding thinking too highly of oneself without excessively undervaluing one's efforts, and that's hard to manage - I'm still learning how to achieve this middle ground. I've recently had too much self-deprecation negatively impact those I cared about.
(Possibly amusing aside: thanks to a glitch in FurAffinity's beta UI, while I replied, it showed my username as the author, followed by your tagline of Self-Hating Furry Artist. I mean, that does apply to me, too…)
