Too tired and too little time to draw. Fuck work

>How do you build a following in the fandom?
I'm posting on FA, Twatter and Plebbit relevant subs like r/furry and r/yiff and so far I have less than a 100 followers if I put them all together.
My art isn't the best but it isn't mediocre either, just average when compared to what is out there.
So, how ? Whose dick do I suck? Kek

>>7020901
Very cute art anon I hope you make it.

>>7020906
Thx anon, we all gonna make it.
>>7020905
Drawing porn or fanart are usually the easiest ways to get followers. It's hard for people to find your art if you only draw OC's

>>7020905
from what Ive noticed, gaining popularity usually comes down to 3 main things:
1. your art is technically impressive, with good composition, gesture, rendering, linework, etc
2. your art tells a story, invokes emotion or has a relatable element
3. sex appeal
gotta have at least one or more of these or else there's very little reason for people to care about your artwork

>>7020947
oh yeah and fan art does half the work of storytelling for you which makes it a lot easier for people to get invested in your art. Just add your own little twist and boom, viral drawing. Probably

>>7020905
>>7020947

Adding to this, it helps to have some social media literacy. Obviously small stuff like "don't post at 2a.m", but just overall knowledge of where you're posting and who's looking.

> FA is dogshit for growing a following. The site is so diluted with ads and the tagging is atrocious. You only get a small window in the front page for new people to see you, after that your post might as well not even exist. Don't expect much from FA.

> Reddit is ok. You can get a lot of engagement if the post is good but only for a brief amount of time, once the post is dead it's dead. People don't really follow "you" as much as they follow subreddits so its hard to extract anything from it. Its especially hard on really broad subreddits like r/yiff and r/furry, maybe try targeting something more specific?

> Despite everything, Twitter is still really good. At first its like shouting into the void but once you get even a small following it snowballs from there. Retweeting is really powerful, you should use it a lot. And yeah, mutualism and sucking up to bigger accounts does help.

One thing I'll add though, treat your Twitter account like an actual artist and not some personal thing. People will not follow you, let alone realize that you're an artist, if all your stuff is buried under a bunch of memes and rants.

Good night, /fag/! I drew a picture of my OC after he got sand thrown into his eyes. I think it really put the zap on his head!

>>7020901
You did great as always, Braixen anon! I like her smile on this one :)

>twitter
Speaking as someone who posted 10-20 arts on there and got literally like 2 followers, it feels like shouting into the void. Even with how trash FA's system is, I got like 15 followers there for the same arts. 20 on Bluesky.
I heard that Elon made porn show up less, so maybe it's good if you already have some following, but if you're small, it's literally just the void.

If I draw a shemale, will that forever mark me as a "shemale guy" and I won't be able to attract regular watchers who like dudes and girls

>social media literacy
I'd say you need more social media stamina. I know how to post and work social media, I just don't have the fucking energy to do it constantly across like four different platforms, or more. Then there's the need to separate nsfw from sfw, subject from subject (I'm plagued by not really wanting to draw only one thing, which means my work doesn't attract any singular community)...It's just too much.

>couple years ago i was ashamed of furries and look at them like at freak's
>start and continue think of mine own fursona week ago

>>7021555
make a separate account. People only watch you for one thing anyway

>>7021995
I think all the anger you were directing at them ended up fucking your brain and you flipflopped. That’s what happened for me, just all of a sudden I start liking them anthros. Still hate most of them furries though.

>>7021095
Getting better with every new drawing anon!

>>7021995
Just don't interact with the community at large and you're good.
There's nothing wrong with liking furry art and stuff. There's everything wrong with BEING a furry.

Weren’t you told not to post here anymore? Nobody likes your weird, messy shit.

Hey fellow furry artists. Sucked any good dicks lately?

>>7022213
Thank you, anon! I'm trying my darndest to get this art thing down. But it's like I always say, ya gotta fuckin' give 'er! Haha.

>>7022965
Cute. But left cheek should be bigger, right leg upper and viewer can see a second shoulder a bit.

>>7023022
I'm trans btw

>>7023050
That's alright, anon. I still like your art.

Always wonder if kicking like a normal human is viable for digitigrade

>>7020872
I've been getting some fake furry artist accounts following and dm'ing me on twitter for "comms". Is there any way to stop those types from contacting me?

>>7023114
Never happened to me, the few ones that I get are from normal accounts. Maybe you're using a popular hashtag filled with bots?

>>7023125
that's the thing, though. I haven't actually posted anything and I don't use any hashtags, just been liking art posts and following artists that stand out to me. I had 3 accounts follow me today with "comms open" in their names/bios. but no links to other sites/blogs. they dm me, and when I check out their media pages or the work they send me, reverse image search shows they belong to others. that, or they all use the same "For Approval", "Preview", etc. watermarks and the art styles aren't consistent at all. I just blocked and tried to send info to any of the original artists.

I wish to draw more

>>7020872
Did an eyes study and just trying stuff out. Can I get some feedback on any that you anons like?

>>7023341
Sharp eyes all of them, which is nice I say. Number 8 really looks liked Luna while number 2 is reserved for goats. Try round or droopy eyes next.

>>7023387
that’s kinda gay

>>7023395
because of the jockstraps? plenty of straight people wear it

>>7023341
I think all of them could be good for different characters. there aren't any I think are bad, though some like 2, 5, and 8 are going to be for more specific use cases than the others.

I would suggest trying some with a lash in the middle as well, and maybe some with all the lashes going the same direction instead of always pointing straight out from the center.

Happy that I am able to finish the lines.

IT'S A TRAP!

https://files.catbox.moe/y4txlr.png
Pilot thing for a crummy fanfic I was working on last year, would appreciate tips/criticism.
plan to spend the new year getting at the least the first actual issue done.

Hey, /fag/! Later today I'm going to try to draw Steve Albini as a furry. If I get sidetracked, you know what to do...

>>7023723
Holy crap! Toriel looks so cute in this, and chewy stomach too!

>>7023700
thanks anon! I've got a twitter

I think there will be porn.
Still good work, btw. Really like that second bottom Tori face.

>>7023370
didn't even realize they were all sharp. I'll try some round and droopy eyes next time.

>>7023405
interesting suggestion on the eyelashes. I'll see how those types look

>>7023645
thanks

appreciate the feedback, anons.

>>7023798
cool scene, anon! What is your setting, exactly? 70s-80s small town usa?

>>7024041
Thank you! It’s set in a small midwestern town in the 1950s.

>>7023751
Appreciate the feedback anon!

>>7023812
Thank you also! Honestly, I drew a lot of that last year so it probably shows, but this was a project I planned to keep sfw. I really just wanna draw Toriel being silly

Polished the sketch from a while back

>>7024336
Those clean lines are like sex for my eyeballs.
What's your process for "cleaning" a sketch? Is it any more complicated than erasing/redrawing lines, or do you just draw the whole thing over again as a second iteration?

Also, baggy/puffy jacket with relatively little on the legs is peak design.

>>7024345
The latter. I go through a lot of roughs before the "clean" rough. And for this particular piece I wanted the look of a finished pencil piece so I put in more effort than usual and treated the clean rough as if it were lineart. And I usually separate sections of the lineart into different layers. Helps make edits easier (There were a LOT here) but can also make things more convoluted.

I don't actually understand art studying/practice
Am I supposed to just look at art I like and recreate it myself? Do I recreate it as exactly as possible or do my own thing? I feel like I'm doing everything wrong.

>>7023798

>>7024744
How exactly do you feel you're doing things wrong?
Also pyw.

>>7024748
>How exactly do you feel you're doing things wrong?
I've mostly just been looking at art I like and drawing it by-eye. I vaguely remember hearing that this worked but it's so different from any other thing I've learned that I'm having second thoughts. I'm just not sure how it's transferrable to making art myself when all I'm conditioning myself to do is essentially trace without actually tracing.
>Also pyw
My last few works that I actually have saved have been practice from an art friend of mine, they were having me redraw their OC, I'm not too comfortable sharing it but I can make something myself here soon and post that instead

I can’t stop drawing my catgirl waifu like I fucking SUCK at rendering (I am thread OP) but soon I’ll post a sketch, SOON

>>7024761

>>7024744
Just draw man. People here will tell you all sorts of shit like youre doing it wrong because youre not using the ice pick grip with your stylus, didnt blow coomis, ect. You might progress quicker if you study methodically, but either way, you will progress anyway if you JUST DRAW

>>7024756
>>7024744
>I've mostly just been looking at art I like and drawing it by-eye.|
>I'm just not sure how it's transferrable to making art myself when all I'm conditioning myself to do is essentially trace without actually tracing
I usually do that, specially when I am drawing the OC of someone else, so I say there's nothing bad doing it by eye, specially if you're confident that you're able to capture what makes an art style work. I have studied manga(Yukimura, Miura, CLAMP), western cartoons(Ennis, Disney and MLP) and furry(Comet, Jaynaylor, Iskra etc) and I've done it all by eye.
As for transferrable to your art style, believe it or not, most of the muscle anatomy I've learned comes from observing and learning from Miura and Yukimura's art, so yes you can and will improve by "mind tracing" someone else's homework.

>Am I supposed to just look at art I like and recreate it myself?
>Do I recreate it as exactly as possible or do my own thing?
Its a good step to recreate the style of others, specially if you liked it but I've to say that you don't have to recreate it as crisp as it is, specially on the first try.
Anyway, I hope that my rambling helps(if it does). In the meanwhile, just draw famalanon and everything will grow from that.

where can I find info on how to draw otters? A lot of the artwork I see is just bad.

>>7024785
They are tubes with feet and a big :3 face.

>>7024787
the hand paws confuse me

>>7024779
This does help, thanks anon. I'll stop worrying and focus on drawing.
>famalanon
I need a dictionary

>>7024789
They're kinda stumpy. I assume you're going for a slightly animalistic instead of purely anthro?

>>7024792
yes, do I draw them big like a cats?

>>7024793
Well, no, they're weasels. Do you have an example of your work? If you post something we can better guide you.
But if you're completely lost I'd recommend studying their skeletons. They've got a lot of fur obfuscating their underlying form, but that can also work to your advantage if you just get the general shape going, which like I said is basically just a tube.

Bun

>>7021995

Attempt at full body... I feel like the legs fucked me up big time.

>>7026162
It looks like you combined her feet with her forelegs. Digitigrade legs were meant for quadrupeds, so you need to do some studying to figure out how to apply that anatomy to a biped without it looking wonky. It helps to study animal legs as well, or just legs in general since mammalian skeletons are all created from the same blueprint. You can divide them into a few parts, which sometimes go by slightly different names, but they're all anatomically equivalent, which are: the pelvis; the hind quarters to the knee; the foreleg to the ankle; and the foot. If you learn how those are all connected, and their (relative) proportions, it should make putting them down on paper a bit easier. You don't need to know all the muscles and stuff at first, but knowing that legs are essentially three connections might make them make more sense in your head.

>>7026166
HMPH alright I pretty much dove into that with minimal knowledge on how to draw animal-legs, but it felt really weird giving a character with extremely-thick thighs such tiny lower-legs, which is why I gravitated towards trying to compensate by combining her feet with her forelegs.

I'm gonna sleep on this and try to redo that tomorrow.
Thanks for the help, anon!!!

>>7026162
Progress was made bro

How do you you all come up with ideas for what to draw?
Embarking on this art journey alone, it's really hard to keep coming up with things.

>>7026189
It's a contentious topic because somw people are intrinsically gifted with creativity more so than others, as opposed to technical skill. It's very hard to ask those people what gives them ideas, because how do you really answer someone's question asking you how to be more creative?
The best artistic advice I could give to anyone is to draw influences from every source you can. And not even furries specifically, I mean movies, music, video games, nature... everything. And don't be afraid of being eccentric or trying new things. A lot of the time that's what blocks you from creating new ideas in the first place.

>>7025705
>Proko tries to draw an anthro 'roo like one of his french girls, sweating
>it's fetus

>>7023387
neato!

>>7026189
I recommend getting a sketchbook. For brainstorming, listing down ideas, and experimenting. That’s how I get my ideas.

>>7026189
If you have even a really basic idea, just gesture it out. I find it better to draw out these ideas on sketchbook than digital. Sketchbook, you're forced to move on and try drawing out other things. But on digital, it's hard for me to Not creating a new layer and try cleaning it up despite the pose looking boring as fuck.

>>7024761
oh shit I forgot to do this

>>7026261
>trying new things
That's kind of the problem. I'm not afraid to try, I just don't know what new things I ought to be trying. I'm in a creative lull right now, I guess. There's probably no advice for it.

>>7026425
>>7026534
A sketchbook might be a good option. There's definitely a difference, mentally, between physical and digital media.

Could someone redline the chest and shoulder for me? I've been trying for like a month and I still dont get it.

>>7026189
I don't think to be creative, yet the stuff in my dreams is so incredible. Sometimes the map is coherent too. After you wake up, if you have any memories, you have like 7~15 minutes to write down what you saw. I make a very lose sketch with a few tags about it

Do you switch between different projects? I have been working on only one picture at a time until now and the closer I get to finishing it the more tedious it gets. I wonder if I should change that.

>>7026425
>>7026534
>>7026189

Sketchbooks help a lot. Also, finding a neat pose or a bit of ref can help activate the almonds.

>>7027092
I gotta be honest, after further introspection, I think I'm just running out of energy due to constantly trying to stave off depression. It's making everything I do feel like shit.
I don't think a sketchbook will help much with that lmao.

Drawing without lines is painful, but fun!

>>7027094
Hope things get better for you anon

>>7026887
No need, it looks fine to me

>>7026926
Literally had the same problem lol, i've been alternating between 2 things ever since

Hello, /fag/! I was trying to sketch this... "perspective" thing to see how well it would come out, but I'm not too sure how to really get this down like the /pro/s do. What I'm trying to say is, any crits?

>>7025372
It's a cool bunny, he reminds me of Apocalypse Now! I hope he's not secretly evil or anything...
>>7026035
And also, another cool bunny! However, this one looks a bit more approachable.

>>7027434

>>7028009
I'll think about the design later since I only have the concept in my head
>a rat boy named Russell ("rust" as nickname for people that don't like him), 15 years old, around of 3 feet tall, big ears, thin body, baggy t-shirt and pants with less weight (a jacket possibly too), worn sneakers, short hair, a tail longer than his own body.

DAMNIT GIVE ME CRITIQUE

>>7029732
Hey, hey! Let's calm down, now! Calm right fuckin' down!
Right, let's see what we're working with. Hmm... well then, it would help if you could give some sort of reference as to what you're working towards with your art. From what you're doing here, it looks like you're aiming for a little bit more of a sketched, messier style. And that's cool! Don't get me wrong, it looks good. But the thing I would work on if I were you would be defining shades within the black, because right now it looks a little bit too messy, if you know what I mean. Like look how there's all these random white spots all over her fur and how the shades aren't really consistent with anything, it looks like a crayon drawing. Now, if you were able to focus those lighter/darker spots better like how you did to outline the nose, it would be a bit better I think. I'm not a art master though, so take my words with a grain of salt, haha!
Oh, and another thing would be to see if you can change the brush width for smaller details like the whiskers. Or at least taper them off, just because it looks a bit sloppy when they are the same width as every other line on the drawing.
Hope this helps, Anon! Or if not, I guess try to have a good day!

Initial test results, not good.

>>7024497
There's something I like about seeing furry characters in mundane settings. It grounds the fantasy.

Everyone after e621

What course/tutorial/teacher would you guys recommend if my goal is being able to draw figures from imagination?

>>7030481
yourself
I draw from imagination all the time and it looks OK, is this rare or something?

>>7030537
nta, but when I draw from imagination it's just terrible. Anyway, if drawing from imagination was that easy, I don't think drawing would be that hard

>>7030537
Same, I only draw from imagination and it's pasable. But you can easily spot all the mistakes that come from not having enough experience and not using references.

>>7030666
>>7030537
How did you get to that point then? Whenever I draw from imagination I can maybe get "passable" construction or a beginning gesture but beyond that the bumps and curves of the body are a mystery. Perspective can be extremely wonky, proportions can be off sometimes etc

Here is an early experiment with my enhanced style.

>>7030667
It's mostly practice. I see drawing from imagination the same as drawing your "go-to" sketches, the things that you usually draw. The more times that you draw something. The image in your head gets clearer, and you can reproduce it more easily and eventually without the need for reference. Now, this is coming from someone that has a very simple style and draws the same thing over and over, so it is far easier for me than for someone that's trying to draw something more complex like porn, a difficult pose or a weird perspective.

MORE BRAIXEN!!!1!!11

>>7030283
Some cute phoxes there, sad that the artist doesn't draw more of them

>>7031086
can you draw braixen from memory or do you need a point of reference?

>>7031090
Just memory!

Strut your stuff /fag/s. You guys are the best thread on /ic/ nowadays.

>>7031193
I don't have much to strut this month. I am trying to figure out colors for >>7030869.

>>7031193
Alright have this safe one.

>>7030869
I wanna cuddle with her so badly

>>7030869
>>7031213
nice works, got blogs?

How am I looking

>>7031331
looks flat, but it's a good start. try drawing the face from an angle and see if you can practice adding depth with the snout

I've been playing around with other color modes in photoshop and using lab 16bit definitely feels different from rgb 8bit. Mixing colors don't look as muddy. Only downside is that it makes psd files fucking huge. The full file for this is almost 1gb

>>7031471
the detail of everything and then the cartoon face make a unsettling contrast, like the anime masks you see sometimes

>>7031478
Yeah I kinda see it. I've been trying to 'flatten' and simplify my painting style since last year for faster rendering but I still revert to old habits especially with clothes

can someone redline me she looks off balance but i cant seem to figure out whats causing it

>>7031471
Honestly unless Photoshop supports saving in alternate formats, your best bet is to flatten the image to just a few parts.
To fix the muddy blending tho look for "LinearRGB"

Adobe isn't exactly known for their great file formats these days ...

I don't understand how hair tufts on the cheek should be positioned in quarter view on the cheek that's facing away from the viewer and I feel retarded for it

>>7031678
Post what you have? It's hard to know where you're going wrong without seeing.

>>7031293
Thanks anon!

Not the anon that asked but how do you do this? I don't get how the lines work

>>7023387
Hey Vusta

>>7032229
it's a hard round brush with pen pressure opacity, I didn't save that drawing but here's another doing effectively the same thing. I'm just painting over lines with different values

>>7031604
Not a redline, but I wanted to try drawing a different pose. Didn't redraw the head because I'm pretty sure I would have fucked something up lmao, hope that you don't mind!

>>7032313
this is great!! thanks anon. do you have a blog?

>>7031759
i wanted to draw her because she's very pretty
sorry if the boobs look weird, ive never drawn them before
keep up the good work, anon <3

>>7032404
Ah, thank you! This is incredible! Also I keep forgetting her damn neck fluff. I'm glad anon has better memory for my characters than I do. This is very well done, I like all of the...how to describe it? All the little swirls in her fur and stuff. I'm gonna make her design more swirly.
Thanks again, anon. I've been having a rough week and this truly lifted me up.

>>7032404
Also, do you have any socials I can link back to, or can I post this myself if you don't have any accounts? I'll refrain if you'd rather I not, but I really think it should be shown off.

>>7032421
my twitter is @ChromeMart if you want me to post it there. but i dont mind you doing whatever you want with it lol
hope you're feeling better, anon <3

>>7032423
Oh it's you! I knew that style looked familiar. You've been making some serious gains recently, huh? I'm honored you drew my only OC. I hope you post it yourself, because I don't use Twitter for art these days, but I can post it to my FA and link it back to you!

>>7032426
it's up! :)

>>7032355
I'm glad that you like it anon! My twitter is @se1tdraws

>>7032313
NO LITTLE ANIME FURRY GIRL LOOK OUT

I changed brush setting halfway through this, but what can I improve here?

>>7031134

Using the symmetry tool doesn't make this look unnatural, does it? I can't freehand symmetry for the life of me. I guess I could go over it again to get a more "natural" look. I find I struggle the most with drawing when I try to do everything from imagination, so I'm just trying to have fun with it right now and use whatever tools I need to to make the product.

>>7032700
The head looks a lot fuzzier, which I guess is because of the brush changes you mentioned. I like it though. The little negligee she has on shows a lot of the character of her body without being too revealing. I feel like her face isn't fluffy enough, unless she's supposed to be a sphinx? It's good, anon. Good job.

>>7033058
>square spots
Neat! Her face is very cute.

>>7031471
I think that it doesn't look too much muddy because of the Lab, not the 16bit.

16bit should have much smoother gradation, but it weights double.

In RGB, the average of 2 opposite colors is grey, unlike Lab. That's why it looks less muddy.

-

I suggest to you to just use Lab. If you need more blending modes, keep using RGB, but add a 3rd color in the middle of a gradation of 2 opposite colors

>>7033058
Cute giraffe anon. But what’s going on with her feet? They seem to be facing the opposite direction?

>>7032700
Aside from the linework (which you’ll improve on with mileage) was the head shape. One side seemed to be straying more than the other. Try flipping the canvas and doing minor adjustments to help make the face more symmetrical.

>>7033354
imo, it can be very obvious and off-putting if the figure is perfectly mirrored because that's unnatural. It's still a valuable tool to use to save time and effort, but I think that if you do use it you should do something to offset the symmetry while still keeping the overall balance of the composition. picrel is an example

I love you guys. Best general on /ic/. Only reason I even come back here.

>>7033551
furryartists are the only G's who really appreciate the craft you can't change my mind on that.

>>7031604
The pose is fine, but I'm not sure what kind of story you're trying to tell with this. Try leaning her free arm against a wall or shifting the pose so that the line of action points towards where she is looking.

>>7033564
To be honest, even within the furry community, I see a lot of people who slack off (that's a harsher term than I want to use, but whatever), and it makes me wonder why I get so caught up in practice and study when I might be better off just having fun drawing.
It's hard to find a balance of both. But with that said, this general is one of the better ones on /ic/. /trash/ has a nice thread too.

>>7032501
Huh? I'll admit to doing it more that 2-3 times but...?

>>7033354
why not try and adding subtle inconsistencies with the drawing? for example, maybe try drawing a different hand shape (?) for one of the hands so that it doesn't look completely simmetrical

>>7033918
That's something that would naturally happen when I ink it. Or at least that's what I was planning.

>thought of making a manly goat OC for furry stuff
>been playing too much Warhammer total war
>end up with a not so cute dude that might/might not be a beastman
I don't know if he is even furry material. Perhaps his horns is just too evil?

>>7029647
Ah thank. I have a pixiv if you like.

>>7033354
Hey man this might just be me, but I think her big butt cheeks should be visible through her thigh gap.... Just a suggestion...

>>7033968
sexual assault is implied here

>>7033968
You're absolutely insane if you think furries wouldn't go crazy for him, gay and straight alike. The amount of times I've seen people who want to be railed by some primordial goat demon...
I mean, I've got my own demon who'd show him a thing or two... Also who's the girl? Her silhouette looks cute.

>>7034010
You're absolutely right and that's something I've already realized and fixed. :p Thanks though!

can i learn from doing connect the dots? has anyone ever tried doing this

>>7033489

Its hard at my current skillset to show this, but the ref i used is twisting kinda, where she has her weight on her left foot and has her right kinda wrapped around it?

I liked the pose because it occupied more planes than what your traditional furry profile has. I think maybe shading, and also the hole/negative space between her ankles might show it better?

>>7034218
Thanks, I'm hoping we get to see the one with her big fat butt cheeks soon! :D

anybody got any tips for drawing anthro birds?

>>7034241
What are you having trouble with?

I might've made him a tad too thick.

>>7034218
>You're absolutely insane if you think furries wouldn't go crazy for him, gay and straight alike.
Didn't know that. I guess I'll draw more of him if that is the case. I am going for a heavy set goat here so yeah just surprised with the market specially with all the toned/slender wolf, fox and cat guys that I usually saw.

>I mean, I've got my own demon who'd show him a thing or two...
Lel. Unsure if I should ask what those things are. but you're free to tell or not what those things are.

>Also who's the girl? Her silhouette looks cute.
Ah. Just a recolored OC of someone I've drawn back then for size comparison. Erased parts as per the rule.

>>7034190
None planned so far.

>>7034377
Bro you are INSANE if you think furries wouldn't be all over that guy. Bara is a huge market with furries. And then you put him next to a slender girl a third his size? Size difference is huge. I'm actually amazed you think he wouldn't be well-received. Like I said, gay or straight, he's got a good shape, and you draw him well to boot.

>I might've made him a tad too thick.
No such thing.

The girl is cute too. Not sure if I can pin your style off-hand...Have you posted before? You have a gallery I can browse?

>>7034238
They're not really visible in that pic, but I did this sketch last year that's a bit spicier.

>>7034402
hot. I still struggle to get those dynamic outlines done. I think the key is to relax my wrist more.

>>7034522
What do you mean? Not sure what I did well lmao

Played some vidya and eat some taco bell. Time to doodle for the rest of the day!

Cleaned(ish) his lines. Nsfw with benis on link
https://files.catbox.moe/1ayux3.png

>>7034389
I like bara designs and bara bodies. But I am very much kind of a straight driving guy, so I like pairing up bara guys with slender girls with all the size difference and hefty pinning down scenes that I like drawing.
So yeah, thanks for the encouragement, I guess I'll draw more of him too down the line - and perhaps get some cute pairings etc.

Anyway, my furry gallery is here.

>>7034551
Golly im so jealous of you, I really wish I was obsessed with like a pokemon or AC character or something. The passion for the character along side the desire to draw is such an unbeatable autism combo. Good shit king!

>>7034784
I would like to say that I'm not autistic. But after drawing the same thing for over a year, I feel like I can't argue against that.

>>7034804
You're just channeling the inner autism we all have hidden deep inside of us. I NEED this power..

I am once again being asked for commissions and actually accepted one this time, but I have no idea how to price my art
Do I just look to other artists with a similar skill level/following and copy their pricing? Has anyone else here been through this struggle?

>>7034904
ask what their budget is.

>>7034904
ideally you have your pricing upfront somewhere so the people asking for commissions are the ones already willing to pay with a price in mind. But yeah just pricing around what other artists have listed should be fine, you could also ask around in artist circles for a quote

>>7034904
Post example of your work

>>7034904

come on bro you're like 30

>>7034949
Here's the last thing I finished which prompted the interest, it's got a big dog cock so there's your NSFW warning.
https://files.catbox.moe/a4t9dg.jpg

>>7034941
>>7034907
Thanks, I'll try a combination of these I suppose

>>7034964
Really good job, anon. Would pay for that from 75 to 150 bucks for full work (25 or above per character).

>>7034964
>>7034982
A full ref of that quality should be no less than $150 in my opinion, if not more. That's what they'll be using in the future to show everyone, "This is how my character looks." That's huge. That's got value.
Definitely don't undersell your value on a ref, especially when it's so good.

Great muscles brah, his snout feels too big/fat tho

>>7035030
thanks. i like his nose though. i think they are just big.

>>7034814

for shame

>>7035301
That's pretty much what furries are dude.

>>7035304
you could atleast try

>>7035305
Could you post an example of somebody "trying"? I would love to see

>>7035348
The heads in the pic are not stylized. Only turbo weirdos are into realistic animal faces.

Trying some perspective!

>>7035449
>people who draw animal people on 4chan of all places arent weird
whatever helps you sleep at night i guess
also
>everything needs to be stylized into gobbledy goo capeshit-esque anime style

>>7035301
>>7035449
It's still a WIP, I was going to add scale details and fur and claws as needed.

>>7035458
More like trying something cute

>>7035135
I was hoping to fill the entire canvas with practice today but after hours of this my hand fucking hurts like hell
I royally flubbed the bottom right one but with only two weeks drawing experience I think I'm doing pretty good
Full res https://files.catbox.moe/wslskv.png

Sorry (not sorry) for bat spam. Went back and did the most important views. Anything look off? I had to basically redraw her entire 3/4 view, it was so bad. Did I succeed?

i should kill myself

>>7035933
10/10 would fuck the shit out of that cat

>>7035933
I think the left eye should be a tiny bit further to the left.
Other than that very cute. I would gently caress her as well.

>>7035929
looks great, anon. not sure if intended, but her feet in both 3/4s views are different from the other poses. small nitpick, tho

>>7035940
Yeah, I know. I was gonna go back and change it to be 100% consistent, but I got lazy. I'll fix it later when I decide on her colors and ink it properly.
Glad you think it looks good. Thanks!

Hey anyone here interested in joining a discord server for furry art n stuff thats not so uptight/is more 4channy?

Trying to get more older people especially, like 25+, into the server.
Sick of 18 yr old DID tiktok demiboy PoC lesbians that get you banned for talking about latest buzzword issue or just gooner porn addicts and nothing else joining every furry art server. Bonus points if you're into sparkledogs and feral stuff like Warrior Cats or Ginga or My Little Pony.
