This is my fursona Vall as a werewolf.
This is done as an example of a type of commission I will be offering soon in theme to Halloween. <3

Wow, simply amazing work. I adore how you draw the fangs and the positioning of the body is wonderfully done as well. I really love your style, it's so smooth and eye catching :3 Not to mention werewolves are an instant turn on for me so I tend to notice them in my message center more than anything else LOL~ This is great! Can't wait to see what you'll be offering for Halloween this year!
I'd like to say it's as simple as I always could, but I think it's moreso that I had the need to figure out how to. Through a high respect for artwork (as a child cartoons and action figures) I started not really with drawing but with Sculpting. Instead of playing with action figures I'd play with Plastiscene (modeling clay) and Lego. I wouldn't suggest anyone to learn that way unless they were a child, for me it opened my mind to the almost obsessive need to create something that I saw in my head, but for others learning to draw is much harder because it's both an exercise of what you can imagine or see and how you can articulate that to paper.
Having been in my fair share or Arts classes with folks that had the drive to draw but didn't feel success in the results they achieved I would suggest the read and application of "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain". It's incredibly helpful for beginners to understand what needs to happen conceptually, and I believe it's an easy find in most large branded book stores (heck an easy buy online). There's a bunch of books and stuff that will help you out, but that one is the first book they put into your hand in Post Secondary, and the only book you use for nearly a year. It basically encourages you to exorcise quick drawing and sketching techniques in order to improve the whole of what you draw, with realistic examples.
For drawing from imagination and not still life it's easiest to remember that in every piece of fictional artwork there is a realism to it, and that's why it looks nice. So learning how to draw people is very important in character concepts and drawings, especially in the furry world. Anatomy is key to a successful drawing.
but figuring out how things look as they are is important too. Proportions don't help as much when you are drawing something dynamically.
Hence my suggestion in the "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" book. It'll start you off nicely if you really do put your mind to it.
The grim reality of my talent is simply that regardless of how much I thought I sucked, even when I was little, and with all the things I had to compare myself to at the time, that I kept going. It was not just a drive it was a NEED. I devoted HOURS a day to artwork and drawing/sculpting, since I was 4 or 5. Granted most of the improvement to my skill happened in my later years, but getting into a rhythm of drawing even pure poop made me want to get better, and draw more.
