Hello once again
activity has been slowing down fairly significantly over the last few threads, it might be worth having some sort of thread topic or question to keep discussion going. Anyone have any suggestions?
>>7819158damn that's good. How long does a piece like this take?
>>7819167From blank canvas to finished piece it took me around 5-6 hours of focused work but that's just because I'm slow

I finally know what its like to get jumpscared by my own art now. I appreciate the interest! I dont have a twitter or anything but I post semi regularly on Instagram at @mugenvoracity

Progress on a comm so far amongst other ones :3Really enjoying working on this one cause I don’t get a lot of grumpy characters@saiakusins on IG
>>7821510can i see more..
I know my forms are sloppy, but is the lighting and color starting to come together? (haven't yet started on slim in the back corner there) I'm assuming that the CRT would add a pinkish rim light since that's the dominant color on the screen, but on the other hand it's not the only color, and it contradicts the convention I see of always having screens be a bluish light. Would like guidance here. The more I do this, the more I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing. Guess that's what learning is!Other issues I see:>N64 perspective might not line up with the rest of the objects>bunny's shoulder might be too far forward>ribcage shape is too spherical>should probably add a baseboard to the wall>maybe a bit of bloom around the light sources?>>7821532Your character design is peak, it always makes my day when you post. What's the species of the bird in the center? I love his markings.>>7821927ominous, love it

Hello fellow \FAG\s. This is my first time posting here. Also, this is my first ever illustration. Previously, I only grinded fundamentals without creating something I truly liked. After finishing this, I feel more inclined on creating more illustration instead of needlessly grinding out fundies. I need alot of work, but I'm getting there. I'll also going to try to responds to work posted here because I really loved every post on this thread. I'm not expecting you to do the same
>>7819158She's pretty>>7819215>>7819695>>7819915These seem professionally made. Is the gumball one inspired by the new season trailer?>>7821486I love the nose ring
>>7821510Insane>>7821527Are these for a webcomic. These seem like they fit right in>>7821551good anatomy>>7821927He seems menacing enough
>>7822614Nice linework>>7822802Is this a horror piece? It looks creepypasta-esque
>>7824082Kinda sorta. A comic would be the ultimate goal, but I don’t think I have the patience for something like that just yet. I’ve just been writing stories, and there’s 11 of them as of five days ago, each being roughly 25 pages long. It’s set in a small midwestern town, and while there’s a noir-influenced overarching plot, it’s really more about character study. I can provide a link to them if you’d like.
>>7824701Furry Twin Peaks, I like that. Yeah dude, send the link. I'm interested since it really has a unique style
>>7824820idk man, purple cats are the best. Nice drawing.

I used to go super hard on art from 2016 to 2022-ish but then I started having fun (drawing pokemon on an online art tool) and stagnated some years. I want to come back to drawing furries and take art seriously again!!!First time posting on /ic/ since ... several years? I didn't even know there was a furry thread. I'm back frens and I'm hyped. Wish me luck. (and good luck to you as well anon)
going to sleep. will reply tomorrow if there's a (you)
Man took me forever to think up a joke for this season.>>7816498>FAYes, but not as portfolio, more as a furry card? An old account shows you're a real person and not a scammer, so having one with even just a couple pics helps along the way. That page is super old and less prone to weird shit like twitter or FB or whatever. >2huMan I love the Touhou orchestra stuff.(and the goat blep. the goat's blep is fukken cute)>hanging outHanging out today, receiving funny letters tomorrow.(with long weird words like alimonies and payable via wire post haste)>>7821531Amelia Bedelia's Furry Cousins Thrice Removed <3>>7822802Forms are less important than the feel, and the feel is 12/10 epic anon.

Made this toy chica sketch. I'll probably finish it on the weekend.>>7825423wow. there's a lot of stories here>>7825498Nice sketches dude>>7825705Dude, it looks soo goood>>7826088welcome back. Keep on improving!!!!>>7826183nice perspective work
Newfag here; I've just started to sketch more and I want to draw anthros.What's the best first step? I'm pretty much a complete beginner
>>7826289>Keep on improvingi will, a LOT
>>7826296look at an irl object or drawing you like and copy it by eye. A good start.
p4res 2y
got this comm I should be working on but I just cannot for the life of me get it started! it's like my hands forgot how to draw. I'd like to have this done before xmas do you guys have any advice?While at it how do you draw hot looking anthro shark men?maybe that's the roadblock idk
Fuck you faggots I’m never posting art here again you’re all a bunch of stupid jerks.
>>7824085>Is this a horror piece?Yup! I've been interested in the theme of a cute bunny enjoying himself while surrounded by horrors, but he's completely safe because the horrors are too lost in their own agonies to be any threat. The tight grip in this one is not meant to convey danger to the rabbit, but rather that gripping something soft makes it slightly easier to bear the excruciating pain. And the bunny's just smiling up at it :) It's an excuse to have fun practicing rendering (i.e. get quicker so I don't get bored). My ultimate vision is to animate this thing: https://rentry.co/fgd68rd2 but it's either krita's animation UI is clunky or I need to watch more tutorials, because my last attempt was unbearably frustrating. >>7826183Thank you so much! Always been a fan of your flowy lines>>7826635>cumulonimbus-pilled precipitation-maxxer>with nice thighsbased
>>7826990not 4085, but this is one of the coolest concepts i’ve ever come across here. can’t even explain how much i love this art/backstory, but it’s really going to stick with me. really wonderful work.
>>7825705why not show penis and nipples...
>>7826635This looks sooo goood. cloud gf
>>7827043You're too kind! I'm glad it resonates with you. Storytelling is central to how I view my work.>>7824820Cutest late-night kitty!
>>7826990>>7827179thanks yalli drew this dolt aswell. who likes!i want to fluff her big tail!
>>7821486Update on this, working slowly but its coming along the way I want it at least
>>7827806She looks pretty with those glasses>>7828054Yeah dude, itś coming on nicely
I haven’t really talked to furries before, but today I got a little closer to making my own furry character.
>>7829146Make your character but continue not talking to furries. Most of them are freaks, but they'll lie and try to convince you they're normal. If you ever talk to a furry who doesn't lie about it, there's a 50/50 chance you can trust them
>>7819154river from armello needs to take my virginity quickly, before i turn 30!
>>7829888Damn, I should learn to draw fur a bit like this. Where do people learn this thing? I have no idea on how to approach it.
>>7829928 painting is different medium, instead of doing linework you learn to paint with the colors to show depth and flow, its basically just rendering with an airbrush here
Hii, my first time drawing something for more than 2 minutes, i would love any feedback
>>7829888Beautiful work
>>7829146nicely done>>7829888holy shit she's pretty>>7829989look great. it resembles a kids book.
>>7829689I'm very good at hiding my furry intrest IRL. Only the ppl closest to me know.
I'm not a furry artist, so I don't know if this looks good on furry standards, what do you guys think about this? https://files.catbox.moe/a1y7xy.jpg
>>7829989Very cute! I love her rain coat.Reminds me a bit of Paddington Bear.

>>7831533
>>7830927Seems a bit off. I don´t know if other furries like animal features down there. Honestly, it looks good enough

>>7829146blog please or means of communication plz.
>>7831692The joke of their rivalry is that they are both in fact Sonic knockoffs :y
>>7828054Finished this piece but I have some grievances with it unfortunately I feel like I fucked up my detailwork with the anatomy and the fur.
>>7831711sure! 'sysnico' on discord
>>7830927Personally, I am not really liking the digital look of the fur, but that's a really tricky part to do.

Sure the Xmas season is hard for finding time for drawing and socialising but at least the new captchas are easy and intuitive /sarcasm/>update: and its easy on my ADHD and dyslexia too!>>7825705So, hows your tail care routine? >>7826088I believe that drawing/doodling/making lil' corn husk dollies to hang around the forest for fun is one of the most important parts of one's artistic journey so like, hi and welcome back! Best of luck to you, anon!(don't listen to the opossum down the road by Wendy's!)>>7826289Diggin' thru all the pre 1990s comics again, those with the crazy setups and whack storylines. I think it might be cool to try the "animation cell on top of background art sheet" look for lazy combining characters and setups? But I'll have to do some more doodles and dig thru old Ploog's concept works some more.>>7826635Never leave your furry critter in the clothes dryer overnight.

>the obligatory Xmas sketch>>7834971Meanwhile, Mrs Understanding sleeping it all off while Mr Understanding is on the National Crossword Helpline (I like how it hits that "animation cell art over rough bg" test run feel, I wonder if you could get whatchamacallit animation cell "frames" as layer effect or in-between layer to give it an animation still look? Anyway, it came out super cool. If live calms, or clams, down Im hoping to try out something like that myself for a half-finished look)Wish I could follow you on twitter but they finally axed my access and I am not doing the phone-app-video-shame ritual to prove my Im older than my Furaffinity account!(just a lil bit more and it'll be able to go out and buy smokes all on its own!)>>7829989Vibes are good, very cute/storybook/toony and with colors to match. Totally keep going!
>>7836209nah, i have no time or desire for commissions
>>7836787Look at this photocalf.Everytime I do it makes me laugh.
>>7834654>>7836787Be cool if I could reach out to you personally someway, would love to discuss about your art dude.
>>7836922Yeah, it kind of reminds me of 70s Disney. Like 101 Dalmatians or The Aristocats. Funny enough, I actually did make a real animation cel once, which I shared here about a year ago. I’d be more enthusiastic about doing it again if it wasn’t such an undertaking. I don’t have the patience for waiting for paint to dry, but by bit. Not to mention what a pain it can be to photograph something with a reflective surface!
>>7822614Finished this piece finally
Finished this piece too@saiakusins on IG :3
>>7837741>Not to mention what a pain it can be to photograph something with a reflective surface!I used to work with soft metals and semi-precious stones a bit, getting photos to come out right was its own art skill yeah.This does look super cool tho, so if you can find a half trad/half digital process that works for you I think it could turn out really nice.

>>7843618Thanks, happy new year to you too, and to all of the /fag/s around. Let's hope next year we all get bit further into perfecting our furfaggotry.
>>7822802Gonna call this finished! Maybe the next thing to focus on is edge control if I want to get closer to realism. The overlapping stripes of darker and darker values to show a shadow's soft edge are actually kinda nice imo, but it's borne of my lack of knowledge.>>7843618>>7843641Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!

I feel like I could've drawn him a little less "sissy"? idk.He's meant to be skinny but I feel bad for him
>>7848061Very long torso and short little legs and tights. unless he is really embodying the spirity of a corgy it kinda looks weird because visually it seems his legs are half the size of his full toso.

Should I erase it ? I hesitate to destroy this old art. If you want to say something about it or have a (hand-drawn) piece, say it to me.
>>7850044Very nice! I'm the one who made the OP art. rendering metal is so fun to me because of how many colors and ways you can blend to make it dynamic. you seem to have a good grasp of that aswell. definitely better at making backgrounds than me lol

>>7851252Love the character design and the pose! Your art style reminds me of Dr. Presto. Any tips for anatomy or posing? I can get the boxes down but I can't seem to equate them into limbs...
>>7853141yo tyI'm pretty inspired by Presto so that makes sense>I can get the boxes down but I can't seem to equate them into limbs...In my opinion boxes are great for learning up until a certain point but after a bit they start dragging you down due to how stiff they are.Try working with fluid cylindrical shapes instead, everything turned out much better once I started learning that instead (thru analyzing art I like by drawing 3D cylinders on top of their anatomy).Make sure to draw contour lines on your studies or else it won't be very efficient.It sucks btw, it really fucking sucks to learn, for 1-2 years I struggled grinding studies and only started feeling like drawing anatomy from shapes got easy/fluid late 2025.

Anyone familiar with this? Obviously I am not drawing anything without an upfront payment, so is he gonna tell me on the 13th that he doesn't wanna pay upfront? Or is he gonna pay upfront and then challenge it via paypal once I'm done with his drawings? Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? I'm new to comms so this is a bit spooky.

I hate that I only really focus at drawing when I have down time at work. When I get home it's harder to focus/I'm lazy and easily distracted by the net.

Does this look okay? Supposed to be a rhesus macaque. It's not the main figure in the piece, but I want it to look alright. Assuming anyone cares, it's the Buddha Amitabha (I chose a rhesus macaque since their skin color can be pretty reddish, and in Indo-Tibetan painting, Amitabha is generally depicted as being red in color).

what do yall think so far
>>7855126>grind fundies Just doodle it. nobody's paying you
>>7858403The first two may cause the third. The fact that you're a gay furry posting on 4chan says you probably don't have healthy IRL relationships and invest a lot of time into the internet.On a more mystical note, your desires are aligned with a world that does not exist, and as a result, you are also unable to have children. Most people in such a position would have joined a monastery, historically speaking.>sigh, is there a worser combo than this?You could be a manic gay furry and destroy your life with drugs, alcohol, and STDs and also pooping in a bag as a result of a prolapsed anus.

Happy year of the horse
Been working on this for ages and its starting to do my head in

how can I draw like this?
I did this for 15 bucks. I really have reached rock bottom.
>>7865043Because you're undercharging? I agree.
>>7865048Yea. But no one seems to really want this kind of art anyway. Where can I even find a place to sell my art in? I'm pretty broke atm so I'm just taking anything I can get.

>>7865682like you have really good, readable forms despite the type of linework. It's easy to tell what the pic is at a glance because it's well-structured.
>>7865708Ah, that’s good to hear.
Yeah he’s a soul singer.
Could anyone answer this question:>>7865078Also could someone crit this:>>7865043I feel like my drawings are always missing something but I cant tell what that would be, wether its the shapes or my linework or maybe even the face. Something just feels so.. lame. I could really use the help.
>>7865900From my perspective it’s perfectly fine. It follows all the basic rules of art. Good form, shading, etc. What is “wrong” with it ends up being subjective. Do you think maybe the style itself is uninteresting? Perhaps diversifying your influences and studying other artists may aid in making it stand out.
>>7865281Redwall artist here.Twitter is https://x.com/Trondei1Deviantart is https://www.deviantart.com/trondeiIf you want an e-mail, it should still be in the DeviantArt profile.
One more for tonight.
>>7865078>>7865900your work is serviceable, there's nothing obviously wrong with it. but, working off the single sketch that i've seen from you, my (highly subjective) opinion is that your style & subject matter might be holding you back. simple front-view-of-anthro-woman-pinups are dime-a-dozen. draw anthros doing things, draw them in interesting perspective, draw them fucking, whatever. just not flat, simple pinups that so many other artists are content with pumping out. style-wise, working in the monochrome with pencil-ish brushes is terrible if you want people to actually look at your work, as it's quite visually boring and very very easy for people to scroll right past (keep in mind, they're looking at a tiny thumbnail of your work for no more than half a second, first impressions are everything). i suspect that this is why you feel your work is "missing" something. study other artists who are popular and whose style you like, they're popular for a good reason; they know their shit. at the bare minimum. render your shit, color your shit. you can spend like 45 minutes on it if you cel-shade and it'll double or triple your engagementas for getting commissions, it's more about popularity than anything else. post on X (this is the best social media for getting an audience), and E6 if you draw smut. keep your timeline clean and concise, draw fanart of both existing media & characters that other people have drawn, and collect rexeets from other artists (very fucking important, i've found this to be, by far, the most effective way to grow your audience). play the social media game, get big enough, and you'll be drowning in commission requests. it's worth it to start up an X account and get the ball rolling if you haven't already, but gitting good is what you should be focusing most of your time onor just get a job, commissions are terrible for making a living if you dont live in the third world
>>7865952>working in the monochrome with pencil-ish brushes is terrible if you want people to actually look at your work, as it's quite visually boring and very very easy for people to scroll right pastYeah, ill go ahead and dump that shit right now.>study other artists who are popular and whose style you like, they're popular for a good reason; they know their shit.I realize that i dont really look at peoples art. I made a pixiv account so I can start watching others, twitter just keeps giving me memes.I made an art account, but its got like 10 followers. Ill aim for retweets by drawing their characters I suppose, but I don't know if directly tagging them is a good idea, and if I just reply the art in one of their threads, it can be missed very easily. I don't really know how else to get the retweets.>commissions are terrible for making a living if you dont live in the third worldIm grinding an engineering degree, so I should be able to land a job once I graduate. For now, comms should be nice. I dont know how other artists are making their money, even if they have huge followings.Thank you for this reply, it was actually very helpful.
>>7866017>I don't really know how else to get the retweetsit takes a bit of finesse, since you are a bit of a nobody who's trying to manipulate them into gassing your shit up. becoming mutuals with smaller artists and then working your way up to larger ones is a pretty typical strategy that i use, but a single retweet from a larger one can 10-20x your follower count overnight. posting in drawing generals and /trash/ (and actually advertising your account) is a decent way to get past the initial 100-200 follower pit, after which your twitter should start growing on its own. dont think about it too much though, the social media game, when you're starting from scratch, is like 50% luck 50% gitting gud, since the best artists get to bypass all of this bullshit and jump to 1000 followers as soon as they post their brand new twitter handle in this thread. IMO, your time is better spent improving your shit rather than worrying about gaming the system. your follower count will grow naturally if you draw well and sign your shit with your twitter handle>i don't know if directly tagging them is a good ideait's usually fine as long as you put a couple words before @ing them. never have an @ as the first word in a xeet, since it makes your xeet invisible when somebody scrolls your profile. dont expect shit if you're tagging big (1000+) follower artists if they dont already know you.>I dont know how other artists are making their moneythey dont lmao. if you're in the first world, you should not draw with the intention of getting paid. you'll be better off if you smash your tablet in half and get a part time job at a grocery store while you working on your degree, you'll make more for the hours you put in. take your degree seriously, do extracurriculars, get internships, etc. doing that throughout my engineering undergrad was way easier than getting mediocre at drawing and has netted me more cash than drawing ever could
ive wanted to be an artist so bad since i was 13 but i never practiced or anything because having to start out making such awful works made me cringe and doom so hard and now im 20. should i just kms
>>7865043You can spice things up with some basic photoshop and a background.I personally wouldn't draw fursmut for a living, though. It corrupts ur soul
>>7864207I love this, the only nitpick I have is that the position of the right ear (from the viewers perspective) should be a bit lower to line up with the slant of her head. Also, blog?
>>7865900>>7865078>Yea. But no one seems to really want this kind of art anyway. Where can I even find a place to sell my art in? I'm pretty broke atm so I'm just taking anything I can get.Where do you post? (ideally 2+ places - a static image gallery + popular social place, for example FA & X/bsky)Do you have galleries (place with at least 8 images. you dont have to name yourself but name places you post your art at, you must post work samples somewhere for people to see)Do you have socials (don't name yourself but at least do tell what kind: chat software and social media with DMs/chat or at least an email)^if you're broke and want to draw for money your best bet is doing a ton of social legwork and talking to people like anons says here >7865952 >7866109 & regular sketch posting for a month to show people you mean business and then doing a Initial Character Class Choice that will show people your style and the Things You Do:- smut artist- sfw cute/cool artistCan't tell more without seeing more of your art but this anon >7866567 has the right idea how you can spice up your works with after effects.Since you mentioned Pixiv you could probably do waifu bondage there? It always looks like it sells.
>>7865281>>7866618Thanks for the feedback anon. You were right. I didn’t realize that the ear was that high up. And it’s @ Jamilsart
A dumb question but: how much do you judge other artists as people from their artstyle and skill level? How much of a first impression does it make?I want to start posting art publicly (e.g. not on 4chan) even though it isn't good, partly for feedback and partly to stop putting off interacting with other people, but I'm neurotic about this sort of thing. You can tell by looking at my current work that I have some kind of autism, and I've got it into my head that a chunk of more skilled artists might be put off by that without me having to say a word. (When I say a word it will become clear I do have autism, but of a different and higher-functioning kind to that suggested by my art.)
>>7866966I personally don’t judge other artists by their art skills or lack of. If I don’t like it, I simply don’t interact and move on. Unless you’re opening yourself up for critique. Then I try to be as clear and constructive as I can be. Mind showing us an example of your work?

This was once of the first requests I ever received and put effort on ever despite my life issues and my only hope is content. For the piece, I know I messed up the tail and overall the whole pose is static but at least the style and texture is there, right?

Trying to draw a "sheet" of sorts for a character of mine with various poses/expressions.Does the anatomy so far on these look alright, you guys think? Or the poses at least with some appeal?There's still a lot of work that needs to be done.

>>7873898It seems mostly correct. Maybe the eyes? One feels larger, and the one on the left should be just a bit higher. I kinda feel the same for the ears.
>>7873971kreddits on fa, i don't really talk a lot though
>>7874099How do you deal with stuff covered by other things, like eyes under hair?
>>7874140In the beginning, there wasn’t even a triangle. I just watched someone do contour drawing for 10 seconds and decided to do it too on a whim, and I got the general sillhouette of the figure on the right. It took no more than 30 seconds.
