Hehehe, indeed, you seem almost to treat the fursona thing as a necessary and sufficient condition to be a furry. I do realise that "furry" is a word used to indicate a lot of things and leads to confusion.

For istance, is used to indicate antropomorphic animals (even the ones with feathers and scales), but we do consider "furry" even characters with human-like intelligence (Balto, Simba, and so on). The term is applied for fans of the furry stuff, sooo, a person that likes furry is *drum roll* a furry. The fursona thing is completely optional.

For your question, to get known with the least sites, I'd go for Furaffinity and e621/926. Twitter has a good reach too, but that site is the culmination of the human tragedy, I am at the point that I don't trust users that have only Twitter

If you decided to go for the course, draw even if you have only 15 minutes, otherwise would be demoralizing restarting after a long period of inactivity. If you still need to decide, do you need help with that?

OMG you made him so cute ªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªªª

If you don't even like SFW furry, I don't really know why you would take a decision like this, turning your drawing into a punishment to yourself

At first I didn't want, but why not tell this little story of mine?

I have a friend that had my "furry senses" tingling at least twice. So, I took his normie Instagram art account, and with a few sites that allow you to visit it without an Instagram account, archives and similar, not only I did confirm that he was a furry, but I discovered all his accounts. It was very easy as he left a lot of "traces", without even considering his suspicious friend list.

I never said to him anything. He thinks to be hidden. He doesn't know about me. It's incredible (I'll tell later why) but now the most incredible part.

At first, I didn't know why I knew about his Instagram but then I recalled the memory. He told me because asked help about drawing tablets and how to sell a drawing online. At time I didn't know much, but I said to him what a commission was... He started from that to sell because of me! What a coincidence! And for that I could discover his secret, I guess his biggest secret (hehe the stuff he retweets daily).

>Why he asked help to you?
Everyone is used to ask me help about any kind of technological problem, or slightly related.

>(I'll tell later why)
People here, where I live, doesn't have a concept of furry or, in very rare cases, a younger person never heared about LGBT. Never saw someone not straight (statistically impossible, so everyone is closeted included me), even more impossible a furry.

>Would you ever tell someone in real life that you draw furries?
Given the context above... I'm afraid it will never happen... It's hard but it has to be this way

I don't know if it helps knowing that there is a certain "flow" when you connect with a line the nose, the eyes and the ears.

Talking about skulls, is this site worth to be add in the resource list?

You make Abby always so cute. What a smile

>>6084844
Awww thank you, I used my heart for this. I have a very long road ahead

>>6084011
Naaahhhh

Also, first time drawing something on my own other than portraits.

Sooner or later he will regret it. Don't know what is going on in his head

... Nice... Domino effect... I feel responsible.

Now I am at work. Maybe I'll tell something later...

Until now there were no crabs, though.
My bad: I shouldn't have bring up the mouse thing, I expected this consequence.

I hope that eloisanon can see that everyone, independently if they were moreless rude, just wanted to help him

>>6081450
Man, you can even use a vector/pen tool for the lines but the biggest problem is not that you can't do good lines: the biggest problem is that a mouse is consuming your time and doesn't even improve you (I don't think that dexterity gets better with that).
For me a day with mouse is like a day without drawing.

You don't want to get a tablet? Fine, but use pencil and paper.

Listen to /fag/. Break the cycle... Please? Well, good night

Hey my dearest, it's still me!
Irrational things are very hard to fix, and you are locked into a loop like:
1) ask help to /fag/;
2) don't listen for irrational reasons;
3) go to #1.

Maybe I'm irrational too, which has tried to help despite knowing you would have reacted not as I wanted...

Listen to /fag/. Break the cycle.

Indeed, I struggle a lot on art and I'd like to help him too

> but that idea scares me
Scared of what? Wasting 60$? I'd be more scared of wasting time, which is invaluable. A mouse makes all very slow. All time lost, time that you could've use to practice more.

> a shit artist wont suddenly become a good one just from getting a tablet
I never meant that a tablet makes you better. Read my previous sentence better: >you have to draw with something more comfortable that is not actively damaging you.

A mouse will not improve you, at most might give bad habits. If you don't want to use a tablet, then stop with digital and get more skill with pencil and paper

> a good artist can make great pieces no matter what
Fallacious argument. The fact that a master can even draw with a mouse, or a worst tools like a trackball, or fire and paper, doesn't mean that a begginner has to learn in that way

> instead of getting good equipment
While you don't need expensive shit, you do indeed need something that doesn't make the learning process harder

In a few words.
No tablet = pencil and paper
Digital = tablet

If you do things in digital, probably you are aiming at that. If you have changed your mind I might say what I know about tablets in an exhaustive way. Well, until next time, bye!

>>6079216

I guess you failed then: pencil, paper, electricity and even time itself has a price. Think about your workflow that is wasting hours and even giving almost nothing as experience (experience defined both as skill gained and pleasure).

Do yourself a favour. If your goal is "I want to draw digitally", then you have to draw with something more comfortable that is not actively damaging you.

I wish you the best, but I can't help more: now is up to you

Our beloved eloisanon is using a mouse

>>6079014
Soooooo, don't know if you already stated this but why do you use a mouse? It would be way better with a drawing tablet: less time wasted, more accuracy, less frustration, easier, pressure sensitivity...

You are just torturing yourself, other than making the learning curve extremely steeper
