>>7145497These are so nice!
My cutie Bora!
>>7145497You are to good to be here, you are free to go
>>7144630I love this
>>7145516Yeah it has SOVL for days.
>>7145421Not bad, speaking as someone starting to learn digital painting after a 10 year hiatus, rendering and color are a bitch.
I have an anatomy question. This isn’t my art, but I was wondering if the tail placement was off. I’m pretty sure the human tail bone is little bit lower.
Learning new shading tricks, they should hopefully speed up my process.
>>7145898I would agree, looks like it's attached just a bit too high. picrel for ref
>>7145930Thanks. I had a general idea of where a tail bone should be, but I had no idea where it would be in relation to all the flesh; Will save this for later.
>>7145977he made 3 tutorial images for tails I think you'll like. I'll dump the rest for the thread
>>7145979
Can someone point me to any number of furry artists that can do illustrations / full ref sheets and don't charge over $300 and $500 respectively?
>>7146207How complicated your commission is?
>>7146288I basically just want to do a male Loona ripoff.
>>7146348Look around and you,ll find someone who does it for 50Refs generally don't need to be shaded, but if you think the image needs it, ask the artist if it's possible to upgrade at a later stage
>want to practice>get annoyed and stop because my brush is annoying the fuck outta me
>>7143750retarded question:making money with furry shitmeme or real?gonna have a rough patch coming up and am open to all in on furry art and build an audience for a year or so until I can get comms
>>7146614Yes, there's money involved just like all things porn. The problem here is: if you have to ask, don't worry about it. You need to get involved with the community in some way to see your market. Just simply looking into it and seeing how the community is, you would have your answer by now. If you're not willing to look into this then you're wasting your time.
>>7146798nta, but what are good ways to get more involved in the community? I have an FA and X, but don't know where I should go to expand
>>7146807Funny enough, one good place is here in FAG.Simply posting your works and garnering interest, while sharing your twitter/blog helps. Lots of people lurk here. You'd be surprise how many people will follow you if they enjoy your works.
>>7146807I also know discord isnt a popular thing on the chan, but fact is they use servers that can help you connect with the community and to super boost things, with you obviously providing similar courtesy back.
>>7146478>complaining
I did the thing. It's kind of quick and shitty, sorry. Still trying to figure out how to both optimize my workflow and also not rush, but for some reason I feel like I have to get stuff done as quickly as possible these days.
Also I finished this recently too. Some people might remember this from a while back. I even still had the censor bar layer I used to block the sketch lmao.Might get a vacation for this but that's okay. Let Braixen anon the piece for him is on my FA if I explode.
>>7147107Also, if anyone can give me Braix-anon's Twitter again so I can link it in the upload, that would be great. I think I forgot to follow him.

>>7147267Blog?
>>7147272https://twitter.com/Yuta1cctook a break from posting to learn how to actually properly color shit in and render, which i had been putting off for way too long
hi /fag/ im a retard who does his sketches in ms paint but i forget to ink them in photoshop so i have no layers
>>7147303Export as png and open at PSAlso, post it
>>7147300Do you have an SFW account?
>>7147329nah, id rather just post everything to one account
>>7147338There only porn, but you have pretty good an SFW stuff and posting it here. Why?
I gave up on trying to colour her
>>7147354Most of my sfw stuff lately is studies, which I generally dont post, but Ill probably post more sfw stuff in the future. Compelling, interesting sfw stuff is definitely something I'm trying to improve at as I work on broadening my range of subject material and scenarios. I also just like drawing porn.
so I just saw pics of a 40 year old furry couplethat pic hit me, I had never seen anyone above 26-27 being a furry (mayb I'm just in a bubble)anyone know any oldass furries?

>>7147111Very good! Why does the lizard have bunny ears though? I'm unsure what this means
>>7147409Floppy kobold ears are best ears.
>>7147401>>7147406time flies huh?
>>7147413lets not talk about it
>>7147324I did a sketch and basically got carried away with it when playing around with different outfits, but now cleaning up the line work is a nightmare
>>7147324>>7147489Also did this for my other oc but i haven't finished up a lot of outfits just yet

Finally got time to start doodling. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!>>7147107Thank you anon, I love it! It looks great, don't put yourself down.
>>7148306Thanks again, Braix-anon. Are you going to post your Charlotte drawing, or should I? I don't have a Twitter, but I can try and redirect some people your way if I can. Not that you're in any terrible need of followers lmao.
Will render tomorrow. Boss had a schizo rant we will be living in the 20s again soon so I got this idea
>>7148331If you want me to upload it, sure! Just let me know.
>>7148373Sure! It was an art trade after all, no sense in keeping it hidden. It's a wonderful piece!
>>7145497HOLY ON-MODEL(yes)>>7147406>fellow 34fagBASED, you only get to be R34 age once, make good use of it.
>>7148376Done! And sorry, I wasn't trying to hide it. I just don't post all of my drawings!
>>7147387being a furry has been a thing since at least 1998 so we are talking about furries that will soon be reaching mid 60s
>>7148446Being a "furry" has been a thing since the 80s, when the term was coined.

Quick Sketch from today.
>>7148662Don't really have anything extraordinary to say, just, uh, good job. Most of these seem really nice, and I appreciate your dedication to practice.Keep up the good work broski, your efforts are noticed.
>>7148670first articles of clothing were literally animal skinsfirst clothes were fursuits!disregard modernity, return to furry
>>7149241NO. This is what the furry cabal would have you believe. The first clothes were...no clothes!Disregard clothes!!
>>7149215blog please if you have one.
>>7148662Any suggestion about how to learn this stuff? I wouldn't even be able to fit so many poses is 2 pages...
>>7149441That's just studying the fundamentals and practice, my dude.
>>7148306Some color!
>>7149441I studied a lot of the fundie stuff and it never really did much for me. So I ended up just slowly forcing myself to do cube people from imagination. In between breaks at work, whenever I had downtime. They looked pretty horrible when I first started and they were wonky for a few years. This isn't a drawing method, it's a way to practice and hone your spatial intelligence. I don't sketch like this at all when I'm doing actual drawings.
>>7149265>NO. This is what the furry cabal would have you believe. The first clothes were...no clothes!>Disregard clothes!!And no clothes means what? Fur, the first humans were def more hairy than us.First human were literal furries.Check mate
>>7144643Trying to line art her and how she will be looked from the behind
>>7150033LMFAO all those scribbles just for that form
>>7150239nta but to me I just like the feeling of creating marks on the pageits autistic af but its soothing to draw messy like that instead of trying to be super neat form the start
>>7143750is furaffinity still the biggest platform?or has joining discord servers never having a centralized platform become the norm
>>7150287FA is still kind of big, but only because it's been around for so long. It's not good for exposure, however. Twitter is still the best for that, as loathe as I am to admit it. I'd still recommend against getting involved with it. It's teetering by a thread. Musk will destroy it any week now.
>>7150318why is furaffinity bad for exposure?
>>7150377Because there really is none. You post a thing, it's on the front page for maybe five minutes, and then that's it. Unlike Twitter, where every single post you make can be possibly picked up by metrics and pushed to millions of people at a time.FA is a gallery site, not a social media site.
>>7150383This. I've used FA and Twitter for the same amount of time and my FA following is 1/10 the size of my Twitter. Hell, my Newgrounds and Pixiv accounts have more followers and those sites aren't even furry focused.
>>7150383Isn’t Twitter kind of a dumpster fire right now due to the dunning Krueger elemental who owns it?
>>7150399Yeah, that's what I was saying. It's still immensely popular, though. Up to you whether you want to deal with the inevitable data-scraping they'll be doing or get out of the bot hell while you can.
Pitchwar Blackden (But you can just call her Pitch or Pee)
>>7150404Are twitter alternatives like Bluesky useful at all?>>7150412Adorable.
>>7150239Feeling the form, anon. Felling the form.>>7150264>its autistic af but its soothing to draw messy like that instead of trying to be super neat form the startYep, caring less about the process makes the results better
>>7150404the other issue is that Elon made it incredibly NSFW unfriendly, if your account is flagged for that the algorithm will work against you instead of for you
>>7150430Perennial fuckup Elon Musk
>>7150419I started bsky around a month ago and twitter a week later, and my posts get 10 times more likes on twitter already.
>>7150530Yeah, there's way less people. That stands to reason.Twitter is a bomb waiting to blow. It's just not worth it. And it would burn in a day if it weren't supported by chronically online freaks who won't leave, despite how much they hate the platform.
>>7149317Already posted it back then. I kind of wanted to make a blog exclusive for the furry OC's I made but yeah perhaps in the future. Oh yeah the blog.https://www.furaffinity.net/user/berndgeiger>>7150383>>7150393Damn I really need to iron out my twit.. I mean X. NG seems to be also nice too along with Inkbunny from what I heard.
>>7148364Done
>artist i liked was actually painting over ai imagesdamn shame when an inspiration turns out to be faking it
>>7150649AI must be stopped at all costs
>>7150649Goddamn.This is just going to keep happening, isn't it? Posting AI without disclosing it should be considered a crime.
>>7150649Kind of unfortunate mainly because I enjoy their older works. I didn't even know about the ai stuff till recently, but even without that knowledge the drawings felt very bland. Hate to use the word "soulless" but can't think of another term for it. Just looked so boring.I guess nonoka wasn't feeling it anymore. Vilppu was right. If you're not enjoying the process, it'll show in your work.
>>7150568IB is nice because it has ways to get noticed outside of being on the front page for 5 minutes. Whenever you fave or watch someone, you get recommended similar artists. Theres also a popular section which isnt too hard to get into, and will then advertise you for a few days. Too bad it allows AI.
>>7150650AI genuinely feels like world-ending shit but in a much more sinister way than Terminator/Matrix does, but where all information is just replaced with algorithmic garbage and nothing can be verified as real anymore. Wonder how long it's going to take before someone tries submitted false evidence that was AI generated to look real in a court
>>7150711It wouldn’t surprise me if multiple police departments already do this.
>>7148662Maybe I should start studying. Those poses look amazing! How long did it take you to draw all of them?Btw, I'm gonna try to copy some of them, hope you don't mind!g

>>7150649I don't understand that type of thinking, they clearly only crave clout and fame, if they do it they are fully aware that they didn't actually make the picture themselves...

Critique? How 2 add shading.
>>7151210Something I do to keep my spatial thinking sharp. It's just something I do to help with my imaginative drawing posing.
>>7151577choose a spot where the light is coming from, shade the opposite of what it illuminates
>>7151577>>7151806Not the greatest advice. This leads to people painting those weird crescent shadows on everything. You're shading forms, the shadows should be shapes dictated by those forms. It's sometimes better to treat shadows as another form of cast light; after all, there's rarely a complete absence of light (in which case, you'd just paint black).Another thing you can do is, instead of painting shadows, paint light. Make a layer, fill it with the shadow color, and then erase parts. It's more intuitive sometimes to think about where the light is cast, than all the intricacies of what creates a shadow.
>>7151828>Not the greatest adviceBut what he said is literally true, not less intuitive than "shadows are another form of cast light"Shade is literally what light doesn't illuminate. Only thing is light from a spot is harder then light from a direction
>>7151842I never said it wasn't true. I said it wasn't great advice for painting.
le renamon is finished >>7151653coot>>7151673mm box people
sup
>>7151958neat drawing you had, but the randering you did is too smooth, almost looks like those bad airbrush paintingslights can have hard edges too, you made every light smoothor maybe its just that every light is too close to white no matter the other colors, making it look like you air brushed white all over instead of picking lighter colors for the light and keeping the white-ish reserved only for those very small hard highlights
work in progress
>>7151828I tried to keep it simple, if he wants to do it the hards way he should make a separate layer outlining the 3D forms of every body part to paint shade over areas but I assume he's a beginner artist so I don't think he should jump right into the advanced stuff>Another thing you can do is, instead of painting shadows, paint light. Make a layer, fill it with the shadow color, and then erase parts. It's more intuitive sometimes to think about where the light is cast, than all the intricacies of what creates a shadow.Myself I do this, it's works for me better
doodled some expressions>>7152174love it!
>>7152159I really needed this. I'm really weak at rendering and it feels hard to really pinpoint what's wrong in a render, so I'll go back to adjust this and add some bounce light because honestly I wasn't too happy with it myself. Thank you for the critique!
Does black people count as animals?

I'm tired, boss>>7152159on top of yours, I got some extra help. I tried to apply what you said and found some hard edges with the light that work pretty well! I am still more than happy with any critique, but I'll just jot it down for next time. I will collapse if I keep working on this any longer. Thanks again anon
>>7147584Just have fun with it. If the guy you posted is what you want to draw, then draw that! What even is your goal anyway? Are you drawing for fun? For an audience? Potential business?
>>7147111She doesn't seem to be enjoying herself
>>7154219Yeah, she was always supposed to be somewhat bashful or embarrassed.Your scene is not inaccurate haha.

Trying a different shading style, based on how some comic book artists ahade costumes and fabric. Not sure yet how I feel about it.
>>7154326I like it, anon. Visually quite striking.
>>7154328Thank you! Was worried the clothes looked a bit too spandex-y!
Not really a furry artist but I decided to draw a friend of mine who is a muscular horse mommy. Just gonna post progress pics
>>7154547once you draw the animal people you never stop. please stop yourself before it gets bad
>>7154549thisit's like a drugespecially once you loosen up and see it is as fun as cartooning with how more expressive to can make characters since you aren't bound so much by the uncanny valley effect of drawing humans

>>7148763I follow you on DA, you're cool
Am I making her too shaggy looking?
>>7156581a bit yeahmostly because of the overly hairy details in the dark linework, the tones, color and light seem okayit would be less shaggy if you removed at least half of the lineart hair details that aren't countourPS: I enjoy your art. You put effort into making scenes instead of just pinups and that deserves attention.
>>7155998dewclawpaw on FA
>>7156626Thanks. I’ll take out some of that lineart shag and see if that works.
