Hehehe very informative.

I like the "completely ignore" part XD

I lol'd

My good sketches often seem to have nearly nothing in common with my rough sketches, so it does feel like a lot of the time I'm almost entirely ignoring the darn thing. x3

I like nude bits :3

Good work.

i actually find this more useful han a lot of other tutorials. all of them give a "how this has to be done if you want to be any good whatsoever" feel t them. i enjoy the "do yor own thang"yours gives off hehe. i used a whole crapload of quotation marks today >.<

A lot of guides probably have that feeling because they actually know what they're talking about though. :P I barely know how to draw for myself, so showing someone else isn't gonna work so great. x3

well for me, i need a general idea of how things generally work out. i don't want to be able to draw exactly like other artists. what i need to know is some basics on how furry art in general is done so i can create my own skills to branch out to. so far, yours is the only one that has fulfilled what i think i need to know ^^

maybe should also do a tutorial on inking, i seem to have that as the hardest part >.<

how many much of drawing like ru will you do?

I dunno, this might be the last, or maybe one or two more.

well could you do more? you do have you own style when it comes to the hands feet and fur patterns.

Hell I suck at drawin but I'll give it a try why not!?

I like the last two guidelines in panel 3.

'Tis the best part!

Will there be an advance course on this? :3

I think 90% of my gallery will do the job there. xD

Rawwr This helps a lot ^^

Oh, sweet, now I'll be able to draw like Ru!

I used sticks and circles for a long time, but found that it was hard, if not impossible, to apply that system to strange poses and extreme camera angles. Why not fill a sketchbook with quick gesture and anatomical sketches from nude photos? Just an idea.

It does make such angles tricky, but to be honest I've never had much interest in such angles anyway. I realize that makes me a bit lame as far as an artist goes, but I just prefer the simple pinup style poses and angles to the more complicated ones, so I've never had much interest in learning.

"Then completely ignore the structure you set up and draw a body on top of it." That's exactly how I do it too! =D

Hah, here here! x3

This is a very goood tutorial :P loving the comical value of some of the stages too :P

Ahahaha this is brilliant! Commentary is hilarious. Totally not how I do them, but very informative!

Sounds so simple, yet so hard to actually do XD I fail at drawing anthro shapes. This could help a ton, very good tutorial Ru!

'Tis just a matter of study and practice, really. Do anything enough and you'll improve with time :P

Any tips for making the hips flow with the legs and back? Mine always look either too big or too small it's such a pain getting them that JUST RIGHT x~x

Err... not really, to be honest. xD I don't really have a specific method for hips, I guess the best soultion would just be more practice and studying as many nude photos as you can find to get a good idea of it.

That's pretty much exactly how it is. x3

LAAWLS I LUBS THIS!!! X3

You draw such handsomely sexy physiques~ <3

Would be exactly the same, though, more or less :P

I um... >.> Agree. Perhaps one last guide to drawing extras...? Like the umm *blushes* naughty bits, wings, tails, etc? N-not to complain as these are amazing! I do want to try following your instruction as best I can when I find the time.

*Blushes.* Th-thanks Ouros. ^^; *Looks away shyly.*

Hehe, for all you say about being useless and having no technique, you certainly have enough people telling you otherwise and paying you for your skills! :3 The weird thing is, you use much the same, or at least pretty similar, body construction methods to me yet your results are so much better! Maybe it's because I draw the damn things so big and run out of space for the lower legs and footpaws... which as much as I love, I can't draw anyway. Dx Ugh. Right, I'm paying for your flight to come over and give me some one-to-one tuition! *sighs*

I always struggle with these, and then struggle doing it my way. But this will be really useful and ill really try hard. :3 *gives thankyou cookie*

ROFL i love the running commentary that goes with it XD

You make it look soooo easy. T.T

It's not, trust me. xD

I know... I have a few shotty pieces that I don't think I'll be putting up here for a while. My five-six hour drawings are not as good as your hour sketches though. It's why I say you make it look easy.

lol
This is awesome Ru. ^ ^

i don't see anything wrong w/ how you set things up a lot of people do it that way. what you're good at is putting in those subtle undefined details that usually define the picture better than putting in a whole outline for the whole detail which i think is my problem i still like to have a line defining everry little thing.

also not trying to be offensive or anything at all but your descriptions in the picture make you seem verry pescimistic which i don't think you need to be you're a pretty awsome person.

It is interesting to see how you draw a whole body using construction lines and shapes. I just draw the body straight and don't bother with this stuff, but maybe I should have a go at using this kind of method. It'll be interesting to see how it affects my drawing style.

I'm starting too notice just how comical you are. xD

Lol, nudey bits are prefered. :) Nice.
I must say though, I dont like the feek/ankles like that, just looks all... Broken & stretched. Otherwise, its fanstastic :)

no ufens. but a teacher tryed showing and drilling that proses into me... and failed. :( i never realy get the ball thing. they alwas come out like a pepal beside a base ball beside a teinis ball. or looking like 'it'(adums family) and tiny(crash saga) had a kid and there kid had one with big foot.

Thanks for these, Ru :3

Proper or not, it sure as hell seems to work for you :3

Optional...but perferred. Hilarious. And I like the way you work. I might try this...

I love these guides. It skips all the bullshit that you know full well that you're not going to do and skips to the"Fuck it. Let's see what happens if I do this." part of the process where all such works inevitably end. God, if only there were a section like that in instruction manuals.*

*Footnote: If you've already lost half of those stupid, fiddly little fasteners that came with this $20 Ikea crapware and busted out your hot glue gun, refer to appendix B.
If you opted for a pneumatic nail gun, please refer to the back cover for emergency first-aid procedures.

You make it look so easy!

It's not. It's never easy. xD
