What is it about anthro women in military uniforms that make them so sexy?

>>6074622

why this chink is here talking chinkanese?

>>6074880

>>6074880
Because they're Korean.

>>6074698
It could be your "kink", but
>very feminine body type
>masculinized facial features (shorter, square-er faces) and tertiary characteristics (clothing), indicating high testosterone but also reproductive fitness (hips and booba)
>Women with high testosterone have a higher sex drive, so your brain tells you to fuck them (they're "hot" or "sexy") more than a cuter, more feminine woman
There was a Jolly Heretic video on female faces and testosterone/sex drive but I can't find it.

>>6074927
What if I like cute small feminine anthro women in military uniform more? It's the uniforms in particular that adds the sexyness.

>>6075346
thanks anon, i appreciate it, nice poss

How do I make this more dynamic? The pose doesnt feel right, want to get more force behind the pull of the rope.

Are you guys making money? I have a question

I make some side money off yiff comms, but I wanna make serious cash, how can I go about it?
patreon?
niche down?
gamedev?

thanks in advance.

>>6075817
If you draw it they will cum. Being established in discord groups helps though.

>>6075809
You'll have to twist the whole body to suit the force of the rope, use lines of action more anon

How can I draw characters with fat asses and big thick tails?

Do you guys attach the tail differently (skinny at the base, fat in the middle)? Or just accept that the ass is going to get covered up in most poses?

>>6076063
use the tail like a third cheek and accentuate the place where it and the forms of the glutes come together

tips for quick kemono doodling?

>>6076227
step 1: doodle

i need some crits on this. my values are all over the place and i don't know how to fix
https://files.catbox.moe/hxqett.png

>>6076227
1. draw anime girl/boy
2. color skin to be fur-colored.
3. draw button animal nose
4. draw tail.
5. give it paws and digitigrade legs if you aren't a coward

I'm trying to learn Photoshop, but i'm not sure of how to use the brushs, etc. Clip Studio seems so much better...
I'm sticking with the hard round. Any crits? Not sure if it's worse than i think...

Not porn for once but I wouldn't call it SFW either. Drew one of my chars in the Do-S outfit

>>6076909
Damn this is pretty good, blog?

>>6076955
I go by the name Xzorgothoth in my furry places. Keep in mind I almost exclusively draw porn

>>6076909
this is 100% porn, just because its not explicit doesnt mean otherwise

>>6076977
It's quite unfortunate.
You're a really good artist. I love your work and I love your style. And while I occasionally coom and do not mind seeing it, in fact, I have coomed to one of your giraffes in the past... what I truly like is SFW. But there is no SFW! Your characters are very cute. It might do well for you to draw some SFW every-now-and-then. Just some wholesome cute happy anthro ladies.

>>6076982
Yeah, I get what you mean. I have it tagged as questionable/mature in my galleries, but whether or not it's safe to post on this board is for fate to decide
>>6076983 I will take your advice and do a SFW thing next, maybe I'll even animate it

>>6076989
>I will take your advice and do a SFW thing next, maybe I'll even animate it
Most excellent. I will eagerly wait for it.

>>6076983
what the fuck are you talking about lol
>>6076977
thanks dude just followed, looking forward to your stuff

>>6076909
What software do you use to draw?

>>6077088
I use Krita, I also animate with it

>>6077111
Amazing art, you inspire me.

>>6076909
I'd figure this design would be kinda bad but you somehow make this shit work so well. I really like how they're designed and I typically am not into giraffe from the few art I've seen. You probably have the best design I've ever seen for this species.

God help me... I think the wolf is a little... too furry?

i have regressed

>>6079014
Try actually tackling your deficiencies like your atrocious lines

>>6079049
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

>>6079014
that first one kinda looks like the sona of someone i know...
but for real what >>6079062 said... please just buy a tablet, a bamboo fun costs $80-$100. they're small but once you get used to it, you will thank us

>>6078988
Renee from backbone

>>6079014
Are you actually using a mouse or are these people trolling?

>>6079127
>>6079108
yeah i'm using a mouse, though i did the first one on my phone using my finger
>>6079062
the reason why i'm not using a tablet is because when i started drawing i told myself that i will not spend a single cent into drawing and i must not break that promise

>>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

>>6079216
this is the most retarded post I've read today

>>6079133
hot

>>6079216
>i will not spend a single cent into drawing
bruh
sabotaging yourself much for no reason, no? plus >>6079233

>>6079216
get a fucking tablet you spastic a huion is like 50 bucks. What is this "Will not put a single cent into drawing" shit? You want to improve but you won't put the time into getting materials or tech to help?

>>6079216
> I wont spend a sent

I get it. Allow me to persuade you. You should spend a very miniscule amout of money at the very least. Atleast get a tablet, thats pretty much all you need. Especially since you enjoy drawing. Its a purchase thats for you, and no one else. Why not treat yourself?

Look at it this way, you can pirate literally everything else you need.

>>6078216
unironically agree. been drawing anthro birds lately. thats considered furry right?

>>6079401
Yes. Furry means anthropomorphic animal.

>>6079438
no retard. furry means:
F.aggots

>>6079233
>>6079241
>>6079258
>>6079313
>>6079381
i recognize that purchasing a tablet is the most wise decision, for they are cheap and the 'not spending a single cent' thing is retarded.
but that idea scares me.
i can right now cope that i'm bad because i'm on le mouse, but the truth is that i will be at the same exact level and nothing will change once i get the tablet.
a shit artist wont suddenly become a good one just from getting a tablet, and boy am i a shit one.
a good artist can make great pieces no matter what. with a pencil on a napkin, on mspaint with a mouse, with a tablet.. for an actually good artist it's all the same.
what i really need to do is get good instead of getting good equipment, because in the end skill is more important. but i'm just a retarded permabeg.

>>6079401
Yes. And post your birds NOW

>>6079472
Huh i never thought of yaks that way…

>>6079532
Can you stop sabotaging yourself?
Yes, you suck shit; we all suck shit when we start. but you’re stunting your growth with these weird copes about not using materials to ease the process.
Also, are you practicing on traditional? Its a good method and cheap as dirt

>>6079578
aside from the occasional doodle, i don't do anything traditionally

>>6079532

> 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!

>>6079532
You you try to cut glass with a blunt stone you're going to have a shit result with no improvement every time, no matter the skill level. You you get a proper tool, you'd have a chance of developing your skills. While it's wrong to think that the quality of the art depends only on the equipment, it is also wrong to think they play a minimal role in it. Go watch one of those 1$ vs 100$ art supplies video, the shit ones have a quality ceiling almost every time, and even you have to reached it, the way to get there is 100 times more difficult. Yes I understand that this isn't a matter of price, but of tool choice. You can't pick up a random stick from the ground to use as a ruler, expect to get a straight line and say you're a permawonkyline for having this result. Also, crack photoshop or some proper drawing software instead of using ms paint.

>>6079527
who?

Completely re-did the shading using tutorial

>>>/trash/47918678

>>6079216
buying a tablet will not make you better, but it will allow you to get better. as the other anons have said, using your mouse is hindering you from improving, and i personally see it as a cope to not attempt to get better.

My monke drawing keeps coming out scaley and himbo.

i know a tablet can make a difference, but i think i still need to know the fundamentals, which are irrespective of the medium
drawing is 90% of just using your head alone, but unfortunately i am an idiot, for which there is no cure
there is something keeping me from purchasing a tablet, i keep making excuses for it but for what? i don't even know myself
i just cannot do it!
i will rot away as yet another permabeg haunting /ic/ for years, posting the same shitty pictures of low quality
this is which i chose, despite guidance and help and effort from many anons! i am sorry i have done this to you
now i find myself another choice: will i keep posting here for years, which will make the general and board worse and waste valuable space in the thread with TEXT TEXT TEXT and eyeshitcancer or will i just post stopping sthe drawiungs and TRULY and TRULY draw formyself that is , i will not post
>Also, crack photoshop or some proper drawing software instead of using ms paint.

>i still need to know the fundamentals, which are irrespective of the medium
yeah they are but there are easier and harder mediums to learn and apply them, and it isn't just because they're harder that it will make you "learn better".
>i just cannot do it!
so you've tried buying a tablet and chickened out for some reason unrelated to monetary ones? if so, i'm gonna stop bothering you about it

>>6081130
I never claimed to be better than you. I act like an asshole because i dont know how to help you reach your goals and move past self loathing.

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.

>>6081143
>>6081408
i'm sorry friends
but i cannot do it!
but, i was thinking
so what is the problem? the number 1 problem is my atrocious lines
my lines are the first thing anyone and everyone mentions
it is then clear, that the lines are the problem
but hwat creates the problem? WHY are my lines so bad?
there are two reasons:
1. i do not have a tablet (this is an excuse!!)
2. i am an idiot
if i were not an idiot, i could draw perfect smooth beautiful lines without a tablet
if i had a tablet but remained an idiot, i could still not do good lines
now, let us look at some good lines
here, these lines are good! >>6081214 , but as you can see, a tablet is not absolutely required to do this! if i were not a retard and had a functioning normal brain, i could do this with a mouse, no problem!
so the priority then is to end the madness! to stop being a retard!
but as you know, that is simply impossible
what is NOT impossible, however, is simply just practicing and grinding lines like all of you have done
you see, i can count on one hand the amount of times i have practiced drawing lines
so what if i just do that? spend a week, a month, a year, just getting good lines? doing line excercisesed, giving EACH line PURPOSE and REASON, placing them with CARE
what if i just did that?
but will i really do that? i am tyrping this in the mid of the night, wherein i have motivation to do all kinds of things!
some people truly are permabegs, those meek and weak willed
it is likely that tomorrow morning i have already given up and gone back into my old ways of whining, 'waah waah why am i so bad and terrible' while everyone else advances because they do what is expected and do it well
i am sorry, this general is now full of text that does not bring good spirit, all because of me
i forgot wherei was going with this
good night,

>>6081450
>if i were not an idiot
>if i were not a retard and had a functioning normal brain
>being a retard

>muh muh having a tablet is an excuse
You know what is also an excuse? Using paper, graphite, ink, learning resources, any proper art stuff that comes to mind. Cavemen drew with fucking blood and poop, indians use substances that come directly from fruits, none of them used paper. If you're gonna ever come out of this weak willed state of mind, you either change the cope, or get rid of it to have some improvement for once. Even if you were taught by Leonardo daVinci himself, you'd use different shades of dirt and poop on the ground as your medium and when he'd say "use something proper for art" you'd say "if I can't come up with something good using dirt and other dirt as a medium it's because I'm retarded. Using oils and a canvas are not required to make good art!!111!!!!!"
You know what else? When you get good enough with a mouse (much more time than if you were using a 2 dollar alixpress huion) and get a tablet, you're gonna have to start over, because of the sheer difference between the two. Yes you'd know what to do, but it's that thing, on paper everything works, but in practice almost nothing does.
Holy fucking shit. To think that the think that would make me mald/upset on this site would be a cope, not a troll, not gore, not rape, not the expected shit.

>but as you know, that is simply impossible
On normal retards, yes, on retards like you, that have potential but don't want to have to go through the effort, or are weak willed, from personal experience, you can cure it. You just have to train and discipline yourself, it's the hardest thing I've done so far, I've not finished the process, starting is specially hard, but when you notice your progress, it makes it worth it.
Sorry for the coach talk in the end but holy shit, this is sad.

>>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

here we go, actual sfw this time. Gonna try to animate it tomorrow, but I wanna try and make her smile cuter first

>>6081599
Cute work!

working on some comms~

on the topic of drawing tools, I'm currently trying to use a a £50 xp pen tablet i've bought after mainly using an Ipad.
got it to keep my head looking forward cus my neck is fucked.

strapped a piece of a4 paper to it, and while it's a bit awkward, I'm enjoying some of the brush strokes I'm getting

>>6081704
A very handsome lad

I did a thing with sharpies at work. It's a slow day today

>>6081991
very nice

I can't wait for his game. I'm gonna reroll until I get him no matter how long it takes

new update
https://eloisanon.itch.io/all-the-birds-seem-to-sing-for-you
>>6081540
i am aware that my thought process is irrational and 'rarted, and doing this i sabotage myself and my drawings
but i'm just not doing it!
>>6081544
drawing traditionally is fun, but there are many things i cannot do, such as using layers or the lasso tool
coloring would also be much more expensive since i would actually have to use money for it
i now realize that the same argument applies for tablets, that without one there are many things i cannot do
but i'm just not doing it! i sealed my fate!

>>6082138
>i sealed my fate!
Yeah, with a single layer of low quality toilet paper

>>6082138
Just stop being a retard anon, at this point you're getting off on the self-pity. Man the fuck up, buy a tablet, and actually learn to draw without all this stupid shit

>>6082834
He's just being retarded on purpose back when i was too broke to buy a wacom (it was the early 2000's so there were no cheap alternatives) i would scan my trad pencil drawings and lineart over them and paint them on pirated photoshop with the line tool. I even did commisions that way. If he wanted he would have found a fix to his problems

>>6082978
there is no such thing as being retarded on purpose, who would benefit from such thing?
some people are just different, unable to learn! too blockheaded, indecisive, stubborn, scared of the new!

>>6082991
>there is no such thing as being retarded on purpose, who would benefit from such thing?
Anon, c'mon man. You can't even play the fool well with that statement.

>>6082991
you did it my man
you are the true successor to the 6-months schizo

>>6083133
i hereby declare that you all address me as the 1.5 years schizo

>>6083369
Guilty as charged. I can see the artists signature on a sketch rendering takes a bit of the soul away. I still think renders are noce but you can learn a lot more from a sketch

>>6083369
I know all too well how you feel anon. Kinda disheartening, but you get used to it. I draw mostly for myself now, with the sole goal of improving.
Anyway, I can never seem to open these catbox links. It just says redirecting for the longest time until I just give up and close the tab. Very frustrating.

Noticed I got the op, but haven't posted shit ever since

>>6083444
>I draw mostly for myself now, with the sole goal of improving.
I'm wondering if commissions really kills the drive of drawing. i'm a beg practicing every day (learning to draw torso and arm muscles) and hoping in a year i can start taking comms.

Need to add some tweens and adjust timings but this is enough work for one day

>>6083252
Cute smile

>>6083256
ty anon, might finish it tomorrow if I'm dilligent

small vent. i fucking hate it when a shitty sketch gets more attention than a piece that i slaved over for days.
https://files.catbox.moe/40x3jg.png

Cute!

Doodle and a friend colored it

>>6083495

>>6082991
Nigga if you keep doing this I'm gonna say the crabs have a point saying you're NGMI + if you know you're stubborn, do it just to fight the stubbornness. You're not "unable to learn", just a fucking coward

>>6082138
at first i thought you're just misguided, but you're actually just vile and lazy

>>6083694
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

>>6080824
>now i find myself another choice: will i keep posting here for years, which will make the general and board worse and waste valuable space in the thread with TEXT TEXT TEXT and eyeshitcancer or will i just post stopping sthe drawiungs and TRULY and TRULY draw formyself that is , i will not post
And I have now made that choice: I will stop drawing.
Farewell forever, /fag/. I am sorry for everything.
>>6083733
>I hope that eloisanon can see that everyone, independently if they were moreless rude, just wanted to help him
I know. I know you tried to help.

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

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

>>6083880
Listen here you stupid faggot. You have literal retards drawing FANART of your shit. Honestly you think I've ever had that?

You have an opportunity to learn how to draw. Get your fucking shit in order. Buy the fucking tablet and get to drawing. You’ve got work to do.

My twitter pfp is your cat for crying out loud.

>>6083880
>>6083917

Finish the game

>>6083880
>And I have now made that choice: I will stop drawing.
Please don't quit, eloisanon. I love seeing your art in /fag/, even if it's not the most refined. Also, like >>6084010 said, people are willing to draw fanart of eloisa. Not everyone can say that they have fanart of their OCs.

I admire your dedication to using a mouse, but like other anons said it's probably holding you back. Spectating your drawings for the past couple of months it seems like you have a lot of neat ideas, but your lines give you trouble. When you use a mouse to sketch, don't you feel like the bottom of the mouse inhibits your arm movements? The "grips" on the bottom of your mouse likely resist any lines that you attempt to draw. A pen or a drawing tablet wouldn't have that issue - your pen would glide over the paper as you will it.

For me, a computer mouse provides a lot of "psychic distance" to my process. With a drawing tablet I feel like I'm drawing right on the canvas, but with a mouse I feel like I'm lugging around a big box which keeps me from feeling where I'm actually drawing. If you don't have this issue, great. But it might be worth sketching on paper and seeing how that feels instead. I feel like you have a good sense of gesture and style like with this piece >>6082991 even if that piece is heavily referenced. Moreover with that piece I can tell that you're paying attention to specular lights a little bit (as indicated by the little white dots in the eyes). You're not an awful artist, the anons in this thread are merely offering help with your line quality. You can absolutely improve.

If you ever want to try a drawing tablet, I recommend the cheapest Huion tablet: https://www.amazon.com/Huion-Graphics-Drawing-Tablet-Board/dp/B00TB0TTAC/

You said that you use Krita here >>6080824 which might imply that you're using Linux. From my experience Huion tablets work exceptionally well on Linux, in case you were worried about that.

>>6083880
>I will stop drawing
please don't, plenty of people like your stuff as said by >>6084010 and >>6084046 also
>the 1.5 years schizo
I'd say that 18 months of learning to draw with a mouse without knowing how to draw normally minimun gains are to be expected. And again, as >>6084046 said, you're not even bad in the stuff you know, you just fail to put into practice because you use a fucking mouse. You're not even beg in spirit, you have some good ideas. + this permabeg shit isn't as straight foward as this board makes it to be. Pretty much nothing what this board says is to be taken as real, not without doing some research.

Ok now it's starting to get into drama territory where one person is obviously desperate for attention and wanna be know as that guy in a general.

Stop coddling them, I don't wanna seem like a crab but they're bring the entire mood down and its obvious they're not serious on improving, so only time and energy is being wasted on them.

Just drop it.

After being hurled with verbal abuse for weeks and end, another beginning artist has quit.
That's one less artist for /ic/.
Good work /ic/. I really fucking hate all of you.
And you retards wonder why this place is dying and starved of artists when you can't even cultivate new artists once the old/experienced ones move on to greener pastures.
This place deserves to die. You killed it all yourselves.

And to eloisanon,
Although you may not see this, I hope you continue drawing once you leave this place.
I hope you get good without the help of this festering shitfest of a hobby board.
And I hope anon's in here are seething once that happens.
best wishes

>>6084118
They weren't trying to improve at all, they were constantly fishing for pity and people here still tried to coddle them and help them but then suddenly they want to be dramatic when literally nobody here is hostile. The only time there's "hostility" here is when other /ic/fags pass by this thread and decide "what the fuck is this let me go in and shitpost" which typically happens at the very start of the thread then immediately cliffs off.
This seems to be like a younger Anon that may not have their emotions in check and they'll have these weird random dramatic outbursts for attention. I've keep seeing this on social media like Discord, Twitter, etc.
They need to be discipline, not only for their art to improve but for them themselves to grow as a person. They're getting help/advice/support from arguably the most skilled and talented batch of artists on this entire website, and they're squandering it.
Again I'm not trying to be like a typical /ic/ crab cancer, I'm just stating the harsh reality, and it looked like they needed the hit. I've seen many upcoming artists get driven away by a bad flock, and /fag/ is not one of them.

shut up and post what you're working on.
https://files.catbox.moe/fljjot.png

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

>>6084118
>people want anon to improve
>he just repeteadly makes up excuses
>he ends up quitting
>”i-its your fault and im better for pointing it out!”
How about you get the fuck out?

>>6084292
He’s probably suffering in more aspects of his life because of what he has shown here and it just came to this point.
He’ll surely come around, eventually. I mean, this guy just decided to suffer through doing it with a mouse and did it regularly.

>>6084407
>”i-its your fault and im better for pointing it out!”
True.

You love to shit on people trying but you don't like seeing your own actions laid out for you to read, do you?
You realised what a scumbag you are shitting on those who are trying their best and it made you enraged.

>>6084466
Do you realize that everyone here has done nothing but wish the best for him?
I’ve seen what the rest of the bord has done against him but this group even stood for him when that faggot who tried to turn this gen into his playground wanted to kick him out.
I dont know what the fuck are you trying to achieve telling blatant lies lumping /fag/ with the rest of /ic/

>>6083495
Nice cot and colors, Muzzle needs work. Other than that good job senpai

>>6084479
>>6084466
could you retards go literally anywhere else.

>>6083447
The colors are nice and the poke is dynamic and cute. should give it little feetsies

>>6084485
Okay, i’ll stop. I just dont like people lying out of their asses about stuff like this

Done with this one, back to porn I go

>>6084577
Pretty damn good

>>6084577
cute bat

I have a friend who sets up self-fulfilling prophecies in a similar way to eloisanon, rationalising it until he has to acknowledge that it's irrational but continues to do so anyway.
it's painful to watch
a break might be what he needs, i hope he remembers why he started drawing in the first place and comes back to finish the game.

Thanks, anon. He's from Hoyoverse's new game, Zenless Zone Zero. I think it's starting beta next month. They haven't even revealed his name yet which is frustrating because all the art he's getting is not gonna be tagged correctly

Do you guys prefer humanoid or animalistic penises on your furry characters?

I honestly find human dicks to be the most aesthetic, but the latter has a more exotic/unique appeal, so it's hard to decide

>>6088018
>What is wrong with this thread?
Honestly it's sometimes hard to find something worth writing out when someone's work is that good

What's your most popular drawing? Are you happy with it or do you think a different peace you did deserves it more?

for flesh / tone, human only

>>6090762
exactly

i literally don't see any of that.

>>6090771
problem is, the artist makes breastellent art while they rant about fertilizer in coke cocola.

Like keep that on another account sheesh

>>6090758
>make twitter account
>get bombarded by suggested tweets that i have nothing to do with about politics and lgbt

>>6090777
oh you know what
i forgot i have an addon that gets rid of suggested tweets and trending topics, displays tweets in chronological order rather than some algorithmic order, etc.
that helps a lot.

>>6090205
You can just open it, post the art and close it. Just like a side gig that happens to help your normal job. You should do it because it can grow your main platform.

>>6090781
Name pls

>>6090789
the addon's called "tweak new twitter"

>>6090642
this is a big improvement from your other work anon, good job on dipping into perspective. The left thigh is longer than the right and the bed should be more constricted at the top of the picture to align with the figure's perspective. Consider bending one arm and one leg on opposite sides to reduce symmetry + add some 'flow' to the pic, really quick example attached.

>>6090203
I'm a little apprehensive about making a twitter account because of reasons posted by others above. Though I have been thinking of making one eventually

>>6090808

I could have sworn I posted earlier today.

I know I messed left thigh up, but c'est la vie.

>>6091191
Why not just put the "w" next to it instead of striking the beginning through?

>>6089881
You tell me, friend. Are you willing to post draw consistenly and try to improve? If so, then maybe.

>>6089593
Nice eyes and expressions. Solid Inuyasha vibes. Head needs better construction on center right. Good expressions, specially on the bottom one. I hate the pencil neck but I understand it's a style convention.

>>6091589
How did you get so good so fast? This piece is on par with artists who have been drawing for decades.

>>6091599
I honestly don't know, anon. I, too, am very pleasantly surprised at the rate of my progress. I haven't done any studies in months or anything like that. What I have noticed is that the feeling of good in a drawing heavily depends on line weight and clustering of values.

>>6091205
cute

>>6090802
Thanks for the feedback anons. Heres one with the left leg in a different position. Also heres the original but with fixed leg

Also changed the arms based on feedback from /dig/

i'm kinda lost on animal head study. do i just grind skulls and head anatomy or is there more?

>>6089593

unbased schitzo tranny art

I went over Xzorgothoth's profile for the proportions, want this to look way more fluid

>>6092359
Glad you’re still alive

>>6092206
looking at anatomy, and the way that other artists break down the head, then tracing was helpful to me. skulls are useful as long as you keep in mind what parts are static under the skin, and what parts are built up by muscle and and flex around imo

>>6092359
so much sovl here

havent dropped by in a while, whats poppin'?

I saw fan art and cute stuff. Mostly porn.Here’s the most recent thing I drew. I try to be on model as possible.

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.

Would you ever tell someone in real life that you draw furries? If that was your main art focus?

>>6093993
in what scenario do you think it is acceptable to let someone else know that you draw furries irl?

>>6093993
my current art mentor may know. I havent told him that I do like to draw them, but he has seen one of the drawings I've one that was slightly suggestive and he didnt seem to give much a shit at all that it was a bird anthro. He commented on it as he comments on everything else ive done actually, so, yay I guess?

But I'm so close to just letting him see the most of the furshit I draw because I moved away from heavy nsfw a while ago, and its most of the stuff I draw besides studies so

>>6093993
All of my friends and coworkers know it. Though most just see it as funny animal people.

>>6088018
>Nice dynamism.

>>6094430
Hoe much do you draw?

>>6094469
4.5 hrs logged over the last 2 days
but krita only logs the time your pen is actually on the page so its much higher than that.

Something I'm drawing for fun, I usually post in /beg/ but I don't know if furry is allowed to post in that thread, in fact I do not know if a non humanoid chara counts as a furry.

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

Alright, gonna throw this on in csp see what happens.

Hello, /fag/, today I had to make the difficult decision to go full in art, or go with the compsci course. I've been thinking over this for some time now, essentially choosing between having liking to live but no money, and hating my life but maybe with money. I 1000 percent want to choose art, butmy father told me if I do I'm essentially kicked out, so, no time for improving or trying to make it.
Maybe I'm blowing things out of proportion because of my limited middle class bitch pov.
I quite literally don't know what to do. Sorry for the extra bad mood in the thread, but this may be a goodbye to my shit(art)posting.
If you have an opinion to share feel free

blog, now.

no new bread?

Almost done with inks, I'll finish tomorow

why don't furries draw more obscure animals that challenge anatomy? seems like they find an "archetype" for an animal shape and do nothing to experiment on it.
