how come i can do anything but work on my commissions
>>7666398I think I read a stalker fanfic with a snow leopard anthro.
How many years has /fag/ been going?
Does anyone have any good resources on eyes (conveying emotion, simplifying, stylizing, etc.)? The manga furries book has a basic overview of human and animal eyes (picrel), but I'm having trouble connecting the dots. I feel like I've hit a wall just copying eyes from artists I like.
I'm not a furry but I figured I'd show this to you guys>>7666519This is great
One day, I will find a style that I like.Ignore the unfinished/wonky eye

Mm valley girls
would you allow this lady to steal your soul in the name of divinity y/n>>7666519neat
>>7666358Greetings /fag/s. You guys probably don’t remember me, but last year, I left to grind figures and said I would be reporting back in from time to time. Due to uni, I wasn’t able to draw at all for the last 6 months, but good news. After summer class on July 3rd, I immediately sat down to grind. Since that day, I’ve managed to grind anatomy from the toes all the way up until the neck, I’m still missing the face and some parts of the neck to memorize, but I think I’m pleased with the results. I logged my hours with the forest app, and I’ve studied a total of 82 hours and 14 minutes this month alone. I don’t know how I’m alive.
>>7669353Looks like the effort paid off. Good work, anon.
https://discord.gg/TFBCUK3Ni made a server specifically for furry artplease join! (i made this)
>>7670143I'm not joining a discord that is led by some retard who draws fat furry characters. I need someone who doesn't give a shit about rules and makes it feel like 4chan. Also I hate fat people so fuck off.
>>7670165>I need someone who doesn't give a shit about rules and makes it feel like 4chanyou want a shithole where people dont even draw?
>>7670168speak for yourself. I'm drawing right now
>>7670143anon discords are generally a bad idea because it ends up separating threads into those who are in the server and those who aren't. Then you get drama leaking out from the server into the threads and often times the general turns into a shitfling or it becomes completely incomprehensible to anyone not "in the know"There's a reason the OP states >This general is NOT and NEVER will be affiliated with any discord servers, DO NOT click any of the discord links that are spammed here!
>>7666358do you ever commission yourself kissing your furry waifu?
Just don't join then? You're being weird.
>>7670201You are a faggot and you should kill yourself. No one is joining you fatass discord. Its dead enough in here as it is.
Weird post
>>7670211No u
>>7669353>not a digitradewasted(jk,worth it)
Thoughts? Do I need to work on my fundies? How can I improve the artwork from here? What layers, what am I missing
>>7670401You're in the beginning. The first thing you do is decide what you want to improve, decide your fundies. This might be figures or perspective or anatomy or colors etc, anything you like, just don't study more than things 2 at once. Then you just grind like >>7669353, simple as.
>>7670570>just don't study more than things 2 at onceseconding that advice, one of the biggest mistakes I made when starting out was doing an anatomy study but using a difficult pose or perspective, or studying lighting and colour but doing it on a figure drawing instead of simple objects. Each one of these things is difficult on their own and trying to attempt both when unfamiliar with either was a fruitless effort. Always try to boil something down into its simplest form, learn that, then when you are somewhat comfortable with each you can practice combining the two
mouse in a bikini.
>>7670401>do I need to work on my fundiesYes>>7670570>>7670832Follow the advice from these guys, but perspective is key. Without a rudimentary understanding, even if you learn anatomy, itll look like shit. Focus on figure drawing and get the steave huston figure drawing course. I believe they have it in the /ic/ study torrent. Thats how I got so good at figures.
fox guy
been a minute
>>7669353Whew, that's a nice mouth.The pose on the bottom left is my favorite, she looks really cute and 3D there.
>>7670570>>7670832>>7671887Thanks anons, I will go back to Art School*mustache intensifies
At last I’ve finally done it. Though I can’t draw it perfectly, I’ve learned the entire human body
Finally finished this guy.Thanks to the anon who pointed out his head was misaligned.
You “people” make me sick and should be exterminated along with niggers and jews.
>>7673678Hmofa is the white man's fetish though, however, albeit.
I hope everyone is having a good summer!
>>7670168against the rules of the thread I made a discord server adjacent to the thread because its just too annoying not being able to post porn here. We're very chill about the rules. Whining about posting something in the wrong channel won't happen. No power tripping bs. I promise. https://discord.gg/74J93atVAU>>7670180That's usually a problem with big servers and many lgbt pronoun idiots and kids who don't have any use for their free time. Drama can happen in the thread as well, since many post with watermark and distinctive style. It didn't happen here (to my knowlege) yet because we are (mostly >>7673678) adults here with a constructive hobby.
>>7673749kys

>>7673504> Master human body.> Draw fox.
>>7674177Ye- yeah
>>7674365Anon, Ive seen you here for years and honestly, you've got potential. But you are clearly misguided. Heed my fucking words. Take the steve huston figure course, you can get it from the /ic/ study. You have to complete level 1 and you can find it on the /ic/ torrent. Thats it. If you do that, Im promise your art will actually fucking sky rocket. Stop drawing your bullshit for just one second and grind that singular course. Then you are free to learn anatomy.
>>7674381You really hurt that anon's feelings hahahaha. Critique stings
>>7674391I'm not trying to. He just needs a push towards the right path.
>>7674381Damn i want to know what he posted lmao
>>7674391>>7674392>>7674487He posted thisRP8SP
The first time I popped off with 7+ followers from posting one art piece just happened. I'm over the moon.>>7672628Nice ass
>>7674493lol yeah that’s pretty bad
>>7675220Thing is that some of his fur faces arent even that bad. Its crazy how somehoe can just keep drawing without dedicating a single method towards fundies. You just stagnate and stay where you are for countless years. This nigger just needs to sit down and take a course.
I want to blow my brains out. I can't figure out how to draw horses.
>>7675692I've drawn some horses in my time. What's giving you issues? Any example work? Horses are deceptively complicated, it's not surprising they're giving you issues if you've never drawn them before.
>>7675724I'm beginner as fuck, and am also studying the basics of human body atm but I want to whatever strikes my fancy (right now it's Celesdir from Palworld). copy pasted from my rant on /v/>top row are my drawings. I wanted to make a nice butt drawing as my latest experiment but got overwhelmed trying to understand how the leg hidden behind the horse's leg in the reference photograph works.https://litter.catbox.moe/b4perl1z2z1rqyzs.png>and then there's the weird details on the fictional deer's butt-wing thing and I'm just done for the night.I'd love some pointers.
>>7675731Yeah, they can be really weird. It always helped me to remember that the horse leg, despite being shaped slightly differently, has exactly the same parts as the human leg. Or all mammalian legs, really. A lot of it is obfuscated by muscle at the rump, but the leg itself is somewhat easily simplified, as shown by the pic I attached.That said, it's obviously very hard to put into practice. I was going to try drawing a couple as examples, but I'm so out of practice with horses that it didn't turn out too well. There are some guides on YouTube that do a good job of simplifying the anatomy too.At the same time, if you just want a good butt shot for horny reasons, then just draw the butt. Horses are just a long tube if you crop out the limbs; the hardest part then is making sure the neck is thick enough, because horses have THICK necks.
>>7675762Thanks for the handy guide, and I'll check Youtube for simplication guides.and yesh, I do want to draw the butt at some point for horny purposes :3But the legs are also important to show the comparative scale of the ass! ill keep grinding
Anon who drew this >>7673504 here,I made a thread on twitter to test out my anatomy skills. I don’t really have a huge following but how the fuck did I go from 114 followers to 142 with a post that only has 10 likes? I ended up drawing 3 ocs, pic related.
>>7676599Your art is really good. Very aruurara-adjecent. Don't be discouraged by social media. Social media is, on the whole, a luck-based game that rewards quantity over quality, and will latch onto the stupidest shit to push you to the algorithm. Just keep doing what you're doing, and eventually it will pick you up.
>>7676599these are so nice! what did you use to learn anatomy?
>>7676681Thank you anon, these kind words help me more than you could ever believe. Its been rough to learn all this stuff, and I still have so much more to go. Now I have to learn how to draw environments for my figures.>>7676879>How did you anatomy I learned it from proko and from Rey Bustos. Rey is like a crash course in anatomy, but proko is very detailed. I would recommend that combo, but to be honest, its pretty useless without gesture and figure drawing. For that, I took the constructive anatomy course by steve Huston.All of these courses are up on the /ic/ torrent and anyone can do it. The only issue is time. I've studied 120+ hours in total this month. I had to since I wont have time when uni starts in a few days.
I LOVE BRAIXEN!!!!!!!!111
>>7677177what were your socials again?
>>7677189@ jamilsart
>>7678039[spoiler]Just copypaste the magnet link on your torrent client and browse through the folders until you find it. Huston's course is under the Figure folder[/spoiler]
Sorry if you can't really tell what you're looking at here. This was a quick warmup, will hopefully have better things to post later today>>7674381I've been trying to pin down the steve huston course for a while now, thanks. It should be the same as the one on the new masters academy website right? I've been seeing some different ones pop up and just wanted to be sure. Not like I mind putting in the extra hours anyways

worked on these for a couple hours. now i got a headache
Don't draw furry much but I liked how this doodle turned out
A safe-for-work furry subreddit just made me feel sick (unironically) with how debauched it isDownright posting art talking about "gooning" in this sfw space, 5k+ upvotes Actually gross
>>7681872and you post this in a thread that's probably more lewd than it because?
>>7681928I've got no problem with lewds in a place where lewds are allowed.
I made a new twitter because my old one is apparently search banned. God I fucking hate that platform, but I don't see a good alternative. Here is the first post for the account.
>>7679696Braixen!
>>7681752>>7682332Adorable work anons. What’s your blogs?
>>7682332I just started a new account, its @sketchdruid on twitter and bluesky.Adorable otters as always, Jamil.
what do yall think? i kinda looking for critique
>>7682332Why did shitter even searchban you?Is it because of the proportions you give your characters or something?
>>7685181I checked again and its actually "Search suggestion banned". I really wish I knew why, but happened ever since I changed my twitter handle. It had old followers anyway, its a 2020 account.
Gonna fuck it up and throw it out soon
>>7682332>>7685198>made a new twitter because you're search bannedpointless. it doesn't matter if you're search banned on twitter, that's not how people find your posts anyway. retweets are everything. if they search banned you before they'll do it again. I'm search banned on twitter and my last post from three days ago has almost 100k views, it doesn't matter.
>>7683748it looks very finished and clean. as far as critique, I'd say you should focus on strengthening your forms and thinking in 3D better. right now it's looking a bit 'flat'. you've got a very solid foundation here so if you just grind that a bit it'll go very far.also he seems very thirsty right now so I'm glad he's wearing a diaper
>>7685485Well shit, too late now I guess. I didn’t have many followers anyway (About 150). So here’s a WIP. Sorry if it doesn’t fit fag, but I’ve only ever posted here. I don’t know where else to post. I mean Jax is still a furry I guess
>>7681651This is as far as i can be bothered with this i guess
>>7666519seen your art on twitter, it's dope>>7669006socials?? loooove your style>>7669353witness you.. the effort paid off like the other anon said>>7676599i hope you get more bro, these go so hard... socials?
Working on a summer themed piece with my oc
What do you guys think of this so far
>>7669300Heyy, nice job!This is like my first time trying to draw scaly/furries for a client and he wanted me to draw a scaly raptor with a smug expression. Since I'm dumb and like my stuff with nice perspective I want a look from below.Do you have references for nice perspective and furry expressions? I've never done this before
>>7686187>witnessed>hope you get more followersThanks anon, I started over with my socials. You can find me as @sketchdruid
sona i was working on

Some gestures I did today
draw with me jessie from pokemon fucking pikachu\
>>7688171Oh I didn't saved the Pureref file last night, but it was basically CSP default male 3D model and for the face a pic from the Sonic comic. It was Sonic lol I wanted a croc, but it worked
>>7688171>>7688271Oh and this thing I made in blender
Head is broken but wasn't able to fix it, on to the next Braixen!
>>7688574your vibrant optimism and enthusiasm is too much for me braixen anon, it fills my shriveled raisin of a heart with hopium
I wish I was good at this faster
>>7688700Always happy to help!
Absa from Rivals of Aether seriesI'm still figuring out the process, but I had a lot of fun with this
>>7666437Because you don't want to do actual workGet off your ass and get on your ass and do some work lazybefore the refund threats start coming in, and once you have a bad rep as a commissioner you'll never get commissions again
I can't draw opening jaws for shit. That being said, what may also be improved?
welp, I finished it and this one's doing numbers Got a grand total of two likes.
do you like her ?
i think i posted this in the wrong thread but whatcu guys think?
>>7690206I forgot to mention this in the /trash/ thread but I really like this! Great work anon! I like how soft the shading is. Do you have a gallery?
sketch
>>7689828How long do your drawings tend to take braixenon?
>>7693767If no bg and a simple pose, it’s like half an hour!
>>7693106>>7693698I can dig it
>>7692171Ngl anon, it looked a hundred times better when they were just floating in the void.
>>7691967The eyes are very far apart and individually look oddly shaped. I would suggest moving the one on the left closer until they are an eye’s width apart. I think the visible hand looks very good. The foot that is planted coming toward the viewer feels too skewed to the right but I can’t elaborate why more than that so maybe I am wrong. Hope this helps
>>7695458ty anon, I've been drawing for 11 months now and I've been desperately trying to improve
hey IC, do you want to be carried by a giant cow woman?
>>7696093transparent version
>>7696093In the absence of a massive werewolf woman, a massive cow will do just fine.
>>7696093No fuck off
>>7696093fuck yeah
>>7693670only just now saw this, my bad, anon. but thank you for the kind words!I have a few socials, but my FA has everything I've made so far: /user/phoenie
really trying to nail down consistent guidelines myself for 'generic dogface' and I can't help but feel i'm making some blaring error that i won't notice until days later. Anything stick out as retarded? other than the nose/eyes/ears are basically placeholders I haven't studied those. I'm trying to use like, face = 3 eye-gap widths, muzzle tip distance from face = distance from eye gap to back of cheekboke/jaw start
>>7695124Yep. Realized my weakness with backgrounds was heavy. I immediately started training my perspective skills.
Also, wip
I love Braixen!
>>7689537i think i know you from deviantart
I’m feeling a little underwhelmed at my skills with how much I’ve grinded so far. I’ll keep going asusual, but man sometimes it’s hard.
Why do 90% of furfags in the west have a dogshit understanding of color theory? Question goes out to people in this thread as well, do you just roll the dice on what R/G/B values you are going to use?
>>7699549are you the colour police
>>7699402Sometimes it takes more time than we're comfortable with before the skills set in. A lot of artists I've spoken with deal with that in some way or another. I certainly do too. For what it's worth I like your drawing(s). Nice, dynamic poses with a good focus on clothing. There's potential there.
>>7699549> do you just roll the dice on what R/G/B values you are going to use?Not really, I do try to to think about the color wheel and how colors play off of each other, as well as trying to ensure I'm not making things muddy or garish. But the thing is, my understanding of color theory IS dogshit so even if I try to do these things, the attempts fall short.If I could properly explain why that happened that would mean I properly understood my shortcomings, but as it stands my knowledge beyond the basics remains elusive, and even those I occasionally fuck up, It's a matter or needing to know more before you can begin to know what you don't know. I am painting traditionally to hopefully get a better grasp at it.

>>7699787No. I police coloreds, though.
>>7700872Enjoy your braixen friday
I drew this cat
>>7695124I refuse to make a shit background like this ever again.Just like I grinded anatomy, I’ll be grinding perspective and reporting back here from time to time.
Might fix this if I feel it later
>>7702747very cool
>>7701077Not just friday but everyday! Thank you anon!
i didnt want to draw a dick this time
Procreate users, I am joining your ranks, and I am finding the experience not bad, but a little difficult to get used to. What kind of settings do you use to make your experience better? Any tips I should know about?I'm finding the sensitivity of the Apple pencil a bit difficult to adjust to after coming from my Surface pen. (for comparison's sake, the Ivy I did above is from my Surface, this is from my iPad).
Drew this (it's a binturong):
I suppose this is more of a broad art question in general but I always don't know how to design appealing clothes so my drawings are always just featureless and naked. What exactly should I be looking at to make an appealing character?I actually draw a lot of clothes from reference but whenever I put it on someone it looks terrible.
my art is uglyit's not like I can't draw. I just can't draw anything appealingno matter what I draw it looks gross. not because of the subject matter but because I've got so many bad thoughts my art is ugly toomy attempts at cutesy things always fail miserablymaybe I should just quit.
>>7692171You simply need to look at your values. Look how it's all the same grey except Pomni's skin. Separate characters from background.
>>7703904There are people that cannot draw in the first place.You are already there. Quitting would be a shame.
>>7703922What is the point. I am not satisfied of the things I draw. It's not even a skill issue, I can improve all I want, in the end I'd just draw Geof Darrow shit that is technically great but still ugly.Should've learned to fucking draw anime.
It's like I am hitting an inbuilt obstacle. There are people who barely learned to scribble but you can tell they have an understanding of cute or appealing proportions. It's something you just cannot learn. Even if I learned it would be by measuring every little thing like an autist because I cannot do it. When I posted art I'd always get compliments on something technical but I could tell nobody really liked it because it's just ugly art.I've seen experienced artists who draw ugly shit like me and when they tried to demonstrate what's cute and appealing their art looked like shit. I don't wanna fall into the genes shit but it really feels like it's just some wiring I am lacking. You can learn to draw but you can't learn good aesthetics.
>>7703933that's just cope senpai. You have to learn it by conscious effort, just like everything else.People who draw cute now began to draw cute over time through trial and error or studying, because they wanted to draw more cute. If you make no effort to draw more cute it will never happen. You have habits that you no longer like. So you need to deviate from them to create anything new.If you know what you don't like, that must also mean that you will recognize when you get closer to what you like.
>>7703937anon I've been drawing for like 2 decades. it's so ingrained into me that I can't escape it
>>7703909Thanks anon, I cant believe i didn't see that. Clearly, I have much to learn.Ill keep grinding how to draw by scott robertson and then ill go and read how to render supplemented by framed ink. Maybe that will help me with my values. I'm pretty sure I'm a failure at composition too, for now. Its one of those things I haven't practiced or studied.
>>7703941>>7703904>>7703929I feel in the same rut, but im going to try something to fix it. pyw
>>7703941pyw and a collage of art styles you like/ artists you admire
>>7693106Very "Romance novel" vibes. Why is the face and neck so fluffy when the arms are totally smooth? There needs to be some suggestion of fur. Maybe a brushstroke or some whispy dark lines?>>7678686>all that detail in the muscles, but the left tiddy is off and the face ans bunny ears are highly simplifiedYou have like muscle girls don't you squidward>>7703524Luv the socks>>7703705Really captured the "wise wrinkly elderly Asian" essence
>>7704697>Ill keep grinding how to draw by scott robertsonScott Robertson is great but take a look at Framed Ink. In Clip Studio you can make a correction layer with Hue/Saturation/Luminosity and set saturation to zero. Turn on/off that layer to check values. It's not 100% accurate but helps a lot.>>7704699>>7704727>pyw
>>7705008Dang, she ugly.Not your art, your art is great.But she ugly. Still would tho.
>>7705011This is something more cutesy slash "sexy"not anthro though
>>7705013Don't get me wrong. I'm one of those "if your females look like pointy, spooky monsters, I will now buy your game" kind of guys.If anything, I appreciate how you made her somehow pretty and monstrous at the same time. Valve's redesign is a bit cuter still (but I still really like it, which is why I've been drawing her all week).Honestly not a big fan of blue alien women, but the art is still good.
>>7705015>the art is still goodit's technically passable the problem is that I can't draw something anyone likes (me included)like I don't think I ever got a (you) for any of the shit I've drawn and twitter felt like a desert when I was on itI just wish I had more straightforward appeal. fucking generic AI is more interesting to people than anything I'll draw. I can try to get things right, clean up the tangents, clean up line weight, render, whatever it is, but in the end it's just ugly. Years ago I could cope that I was just /beg/ but nothing has changed and I doubt it would change if I got better.
>>7704697>>7705008The saturation slider method is too much inaccurate.If you don't have Photoshop to use the color proof, the best alternative is to fill an entire layer with black, and change the layer mode to "color".Not perfect accuracy, but good enough.
>>7705021>The saturation slider method is too much inaccurate.oh right I use that actuallyI made a button in clip studio that creates the overlay. I checked and it's a black fill layer set to color
>>7703929The point is that you did the hard part, the part that most won't ever reach in their lifetime.Surrending now it's just stupid.
>>7705027feels like sunken costs fallacy to meI already don't feel that motivated to draw. I pretty much keep going because I enjoy the drawing part, but I get nothing from it in the endI just keep thinking that if I had intentionally tried to copy a popular style and learned to draw vags and dicks and drew more fanart I'd be a lot happier. I just feel like a failed concept art wannabe guyI know it sounds NPC as fuck but I do this a lot in life and in hindsight I feel like I choose to be miserable and do everything uphill for no reason at all, like I'm being a dumb contrariananyway I'll stop blogposting.
I remember when I started the fanart trend-hopping porn artists were awful but right now they're legit professionals on average. cause they've been constantly rewarded for years for drawing popular fanart and porn in a style that's popular. I can't even brag that I'm better than those guys today cause I chose to handicap myself and draw in a complete joyless void and I improved at a snail's pace. why the hell did I even learn to draw in the first place. It feels so dumb that I expected anything but this from muh style. The people who said drawing OC is preteen cringe were right all along, it was just childish of me. Muh OC muh style.all right that's it
>>7703904>>7705008in today's landscape of art that tries too hard to be appealing, I personally love seeing art that isn't afraid to be a little grimy, raw or "ugly".But I also understand the frustration because I too am trapped drawing the things I've become good at but not the things that I want to
>>7705030Alright, I can't argue with your rule taken from project management or something.Still, you are in a good spot, and I don't get what could ever prevent you to draw cuter things.I was a bit lost in the thread, and I saw you posted your work now.>>7705013This is a noseless alien. It's like you didn't even try to make something cute.>>7705008This is actually great. She reminds me that kind of cute-ugly of Ivy from Deadlock.Ok, you wanted something cute-cute, but this is great.Don't you have something like a wolf, or a deer?
>>7705086>Don't you have something like a wolfOnly got this old one to phonepostsorry for ranting
>>7705097If you wish, you can post more later; but it's enough, I think I know the problem.This one is good too by itself, but I think the "problem" is that you are making the deliberate choice of *not* drawing something cute, whether you do so consciously or not.
>>7705101Pretty much. As I said, failed concept artist.
>>7705018>>7705097>fucking generic AI is more interesting to people than anything I'll draw.Are you still the artist that drew the Ivy and alien girl above? Because if so, your statement is just patently false. I'd take an infinite number of your Ivy's over any one AI image. They're not appealing, and the work and effort you've put into your skills is apparent. I'm sad that you can't see that, but it's something I and a lot of artists I've spoken to have struggled with, so I do empathize.In fact, in a few ways, I suffer from the opposite problem than you. I have people say they think my art is appealing, but it's not really technically impressive. I get attention sometimes, but not usually. Point being, we all hate something about our own art, but it will always bring joy to somebody. I think you will eventually learn to appreciate your work. You're skilled enough that simplifying things to make a 'cute' piece shouldn't be too hard, if you shut your brain off a little. Maybe pivot to something pokemon or just a cute baby animal or something.Anyways, don't let your brainworms deter you. Art isn't about producing a commodity, it's about expressing yourself. Humans NEED that, whether it's through art or something else.
Tried rendering a tummy, but I’ve got no idea how to make it look with more fur withouth looking overdone. We go next!>>7704821Thank you anon!
>>7705854you could try adding a few tufts here and therebreak the lines with some fur just to show it's therenot the best example
>>7706217cute, blog?
>>7706443don't have oneI need to fix a lot
>>7706057Tried adding some tufts, but my brush is too thick to add lots of them without looking weird, but thanks anon, I really appreciate your help!
>>7707089that's really cuteI just realized it's a pokemon (right?) you should definitely scrap the tufts and detail and go for big stylized floof especially since the style is cartoony
>>7696093In my dreams
>>7696093i liked the shorts she had on so I had to draw a backside view!
>>7707202Yeah, I tend to draw it pretty offmodel so trying stuff is not really a problem, thanks for the help!>>7707527That's some pretty nice rendering, it looks great!

Latest thing I made, a binturong (again):
getting it on
So,> shading on the the right side of the shirt too dark> unsure of how to approach the folds in the sleeve being gripped> meat hand is coming along okay, maybe darken the value around the edges> shading on sheet folds should go darker, make occlusion shadow?> face and hair are pretty good, but the eyes need workGetting confused on the values on this one, guess I need more reference material I intend the light source to be a normal fixture in the ceiling, a single incandescent bulb filtered by translucent frosted glass. He's laying on the bed. I suppose I need a better sense of whether the viewer POV is directly above him or at an angle to him. I don't really want the viewer's head to cast a shadow on his face, that might be a bit too corny.
>>7715725why did you shade the hair with an edge like that? it looks like it's a thick slice of something.you need to use reference
I've never really done furry stuff before and I think it shows because my char is basically a human with a few a thro features, but I tried.I want to draw a car speeding towards her in the background lolAlso, these threads have got a lot of quality artists in them what the heck.
>>7705008I don't know why you thought this isn't appealingAppeal doesn't mean cute or sexy or simple or stylized or whatever, it just means that it's pleasing to look at

How do you guys construct your heads? I’m trying to figure out the structure but none of the methods I find really click with me (especially figuring out how the fuck I’m supposed to attach necks).
>>7703933I’m not about to be all like “the point of art is drawing for yourself”, that depends on the person. If you want what other artists have then steal from them. Find art you like, stuff that’s appealing and gets the attention that you want and fucking take their style. Copy all their stuff, find out what they’re doing. Take the stylistic elements that suit you. Keep doing it with as many artists as you can find. Eventually it’ll evolve into something distinct except with all the shit you like. You’re not locked into your current style.
>>7704706>>7703622la creatura <3>>7705008so much ivy! this amazing
>>7704886this is very cool and weird, I dig it!
>>7666358
How do I know if I’m a furry?
>>7724940One ball hangs lower than the other when you stand up.>>7713057Man I miss those zoobe bunny videos, she was the best. Good job on the model!
>>7725008thanks anon made some more improvements but sure where to go
Recent thing that i'm happy about
>>7725593Unveil the hands, bro. Don't be afraid.
>>7725670That is not the main thing here. I focused on render so let me know what you can say about it
>>7725593You need harder edges, even if you're trying to make it look soft. Don't use the airbrush so much.I can't tell if you used multiply layer for the shading, which there's nothing wrong with, but sometimes that can lead to the desaturated muddy shadows depending on the colors. So what you can do is color select the dress and just use the hue slider on the multiply layer until the shadow color looks good.Or if you painted it by hand just bucket tool the shadow color before you render it further.
>>7725938>You need harder edgesAgreed. I was thinking about having them on her arms but don't was really sure about it so i just smudge them. Where you think i should put them more specifically?>Don't use the airbrush so muchI personally use blur instead>multiply layer for the shadingSomething like that, yeah. But i aslo use hue/saturation/luminosity to make it more interesting>but sometimes that can lead to the desaturated muddy shadows depending on the colorsI mostly work with values here, but i understand what you mean. That's my biggest work with colors so far>bucket tool the shadow color before you render it furtherThat's what i did, yeah
I actually completed something for the first time in a few weeks.The reference was some random fursuiting photo.(Yes the hands suck)
>>7725008>One ball hangs lower than the other when you stand up.I thought that was a sign of autism?
doodle doodle>>7717259solid work though, don't worry about how much furry is your character. I also find myself drawing "almost humans" very often! blog?>>7669006>>7666519love these, good work anonslots of good stuff in this thread, lovelycouldn't tag more because "our system thinks this post is spam" wtf>>7666398i need blog for this, i really love the linework
More figuring out heads
WIP Ro study.
WHY DID SHE LEAVE ME
>>7729886
>>7730453
>>7729886So, no more Eloisa?(Draw Eloisa)
>>7731509The last time I drew The Cat Eloisa, also known as 'loisa, I was still in the army. These drawings here are of my girl who left me. I draw her as a cat because I'm an evil chud pervert retard and it's my way to cope. At least it got me drawing again.
>friends always tease me about being furry cause sonic autism>start drawing again>suddenly want to draw anthroIm 28 and I cant be a furry this late into my life anons. This is like fifteen 9/11s [spoiler] do you think mice are easier to draw than cobras? [/spoiler]
Current WIP, but I think the anatomy is off. I don't need the anatomy to be perfect, but I want it to have appeal/look good.
>>7733341I mean you can draw anthros without being a part of 'furry culture' anon, or you can just hide it from people you don't want to share it withalso cobras are probably easier to draw.also if you have 4chan-x you can just press ctrl+s over highlighted text to spoiler, and if the board doesn't support spoilers it will tell you.
>>7733568I don't know how to explain this other than saying he has a case of fat bastard-sama head
>>7733341>Im 28 and I cant be a furry this late into my life anons.I'm older than you and rat girls are one of the joys of my life
>30-odd doodles later and my brain still keeps forgetting how to do "snout shapes" whenever I stop consciously thinking about what I'm drawing. Guess it really is "draw it 100 times minimum" before its automatic, isnt it?>>7669025Valley girls speaking raw valspeak are top tier, yes.>>7671250<3>>7671217Praying for an anime crab with anime crab life goals to appear there.(love the mouse, anon!)
>Error: Our system thinks your post is spam.

Enjoy your ride, there's no going back.>>7731829As long as you're drawing you're good. Mix in a fetish, and you're golden.>>7706454Im too cooked to word it right but the texture you did really sells the blue there, love it.>>7728426She had me with her smile.
heycan you retards contain copefag or post his deviantart or some shithe keeps going insane in trash threads post his lore, thanks

this was supposed to be a warmup, but i got too invested in it.>>7739600checked
Do any of you guys have tips for improving this? I feel like something is a little off about it. I think I messed up the expression somehow, but no matter how much I experiment with the transform tool, I can't figure out what I need to fix. I was going for a sort of wry smile, but it isn't as emotive as I want it to come across.
>>7740854make the neck longer and attached a bit further backunless it's a man then you have to make the neck thicker
This thread is two months old were they always so slow?
>>7740909its definitely slower than it used to be. Maybe it could use something like a thread topic to keep discussion going
>>7740909People either drawing or busy doing other stuff and not having the time/anything meaningful to bump with
>>7741046Hopefully they’re yiffing in hell like the degenerate scum that they are. Furries have no place on /ic/.
>>7741292post your work

last sketch for the thread
Some critique please. Her arm bothers me a lot and a bit of her body but can't seem to have an idea on how to fix it. Would love a redline if possible.
Finally working on drawing clothes
>>7745477There’s nothing obscene wrong with either arm that i can see. But for her left arm to be going behind her butt her torso would have tocbe rotated a little
>>7745652That's very pretty.>>7745656Thanks, I'll work on it

thoughts? i am going to probably noodle with this some morehttps://files.catbox.moe/3vbcjx.png
>>7745918Blog?>I don't have oneAlways like this
>>7745086Thanks!Its been 2 weeks and I haven't made anything near as nice
>>7746061How do you manage to make the blending so smooth? Is the airbrush involved? When I blend with an hard round, it forms a lot of banding that requires work.
