if you go with a few friends, and if possible get someone experienced to show you around and introduce you to people, then it's a really great time. I had a lot of fun just talking/meeting new people, cuddling, and drinking(booze is always free) going between different room parties. im pretty introverted and not even one for parties but this has been a great experience. highly recommended as long as you can handle a little cringe and degeneracy, you might find yourself in the chaos.

it's a good way to meet other furry artists too!

i feel like I got what I was going for with drawing guys now.

even if ur not into something u can still tell there's appeal there, so i was annoyed that when I looked at guys, there wasn't even something there, it was completely devoid of any sex appeal (even the supposedly "sexy" ones), so I went on a little art journey to find the sex appeal in a guy and make it lewd, cuz like... surely there had to be some somewhere right? and just cuz im a guy shouldn't actually mean I won't be able to tell that it's there.

The most noticeable things are:

[Anonymous No.6362395]

>>6362081
Here are a few general tips from my own personal experience.
- learn how to draw muzzles
-try and study animal skulls, and animal anatomy. (Depending on how anthro and humanoid you’re making your characters)
-paws. Learn paws (they’re cute)
-tails connect to the tail bone. Not the butt cheeks.

As for the art you posted, your head is looking a tad too large.

Hope you stick around and post more. I’d like to see you improve. Till next time anon.

I don't know my end goals. I don't even know why I draw in the first place. It's more that if I DON'T draw, I will feel very bad.
But it's still fun, for the most part. And that's all that really matters, for a hobby.

NTA, but I wish I had fun drawing. I just keep at it in the hopes once I get over the vertical wall it'll be more enjoyable when I can turn my brain off and worry less about anatomy/foreshortening/composition when it comes more naturally.

On that note, anyone got references for learning to suck less with colour picking? I know my warm/cool colour concepts, basics like bounce light and ambient occlusion, but fuck if I can ever just pick the right tones to shade with. Too many amateur-tier guides that just go "Use layer blend modes lol" which results in a lot of extra layers on top to make it not look like you desaturated it in greys/purples/whatever-single-colour-you-shaded-with.

[Anonymous No.6363476]

It's okay anon. Is there anything you find enjoyable about drawing? A specific subject, or a process you like (colouring, sketching, thumbnails, anything)?
If no, is there anything you'd like to learn to draw?
Why did you start drawing?

In my case, I always liked cute characters but also badass/edgy ones. I slowly created a small comfort zone, and I'm still slowly expanding it.

It's okay not to have figured it out yet. Damn it, I haven't figured out almost anything at all about my journey. Sometimes I feel like I'm just winging it everyday.

>It's okay not to have figured it out yet.
I've been drawing on/off for two decades (with big gaps of no art until recent). It's always been about wanting to create those characters that live a life in those little worlds in my head and get them out on paper.

Problem is the vision is grander than the skill I got. Mostly just end up sketching shit with simple poses or doing fanarts and that's it. Easy to get discouraged when I see other artists just whipping out layouts like it's no one's business and I'm spending an hour just using perspective lines and blocking out an environment.

Eg. This was mine. >>6362122

I'm at eight years, and never had a proper discipline to really study art. Maybe last year was a little better. Motivation comes and goes really easily. Were the big gaps of yours caused by a lack of motivation / discouragement?

>Problem is the vision is grander than the skill I got. Mostly just end up sketching shit with simple poses or doing fanarts and that's it.

Feel ya. The only thing I can recommend you is trying to shift your mindset from envy/discouragement to admiration. Basically lying to yourself for a bit until it becomes the truth

We like it or not, there's people out there getting eaten by the passion of art churning out artworks and artworks, and we probably ever reach their level. You can call it talent, hard work or anything you want; there's a ton of people, a lot of them younger than us, miles ahead of us.

So, the best we can do is learn from them and use them as fuel for our own growth. Do not compare yourself to the others if it isn't to actively learn something; comparing yourself to others just for the sake of it is self destructive. Studying other artists is very beneficial, trying to emulate some of their process and making it your own. I made some of my best pieces trying to think like some of the artists I like.

Hopefully you don't see all of this as spewing out motivational stuff, because I really believe that you and I can be happy about what we make, one day, even for a moment.

One thing that could probably improve the layout without going crazy with editing, is to make the tree trunks a bit smaller.

Done finally

[Anonymous No.6364577]

I may potentially get an IRL artbro furfag, from whom I could improve from. But I'm not sure how to proceed.
I'm a student in the private security sector, and today while my instructor was telling the class about his escapades as a private investigator, he told a story about a woman who thought her husband was cheating on her. She hired my instructor and he and his colleague found out that her husband wasn't cheating on her; the man was attending furry meetups (in a fursuit) and was trying to hide it from his wife. My instructor made a comment about how how silly the whole situation is, and something about fursuits that I don't remember anymore.
This spiraled into a small conversation between one of my classmates and the instructor. Said classmate said something about how he doesn't really like fursuits either because big, bulky and expensive. He's just in the furry community as an artist, he said, so he doesn't wear a fursuit.
The instructor said "not yet", which prompted laughter.
Anyway, this piqued my interest. I never expected this obese 30 year old man to be a furry artist. Some of the lads sitting next to him asked him about furry drawings, so he pulled his phone and showed some. I wasn't sitting there, but rather some way behind him, so I couldn't see all that clearly. I did see some kind of moose anthro on a purple background, and a drawing of Rouge (from Sonic) with LARGE BREASTS. It was really well rendered, too. The lads he showed the drawings to had a mixed reaction of bewilderment and disgust. Mostly disgust.
Class ended not too long after and everyone dispersed. I walked home and the furry artist guy went some other direction. I really wanted to ask him for more and to show my own work, but I couldn't do so without others seeing. I tried searching for the Rouge picture on E621 but couldn't find it.
This whole thing seems surreal.
Anyway, how do I talk to him without outing myself as a furry to the rest of my peers?

It looks like your main issue is technical. You're getting a lot of marks outside the edges. It's not super clean looking.
I think using masks, layer masks, and selections help.

The colors have a lot of harmony and it looks like you shifted your hues for the shadows.

You're value groups are pretty good, but the shading looks a little flat in some areas. It feels like if you brought the shadows in deeper on the face, you'd feel the form more, and the bright spots would look brighter.

The features and design are all good you won't get big improvements working on those things right now.

The face of your character looks cute, but his left ear is noticeably larger than his right one. Consequently, its placement on his head is lower than that of the other ear. Hence, my suggestion is that you reduce its size by at least 10%. After that, you should raise its placement until its tip is more or less at the same height than the one of his right ear.

I usually have blocky lines and cell-shade it so I'm not too sure how to handle colouring this, my hunch is flat colours, multiply layers, then start hand painting over it refining edges, adding details etc. my ultimate goal would be something like mystikfox but that's a *bit* ambitious

There is something odd going on with the belly where it meets the shirt since the shirt on the far side goes behind the belly but at the top of the belly it does something.

It's what I try to do, and it usually just involves drawing some fanart (like my prior post) or being a little style study unto itself even if it doesn't work out. Only other problem I have, at least with regards to character drawing, is just avoiding the imposter syndrome feeling at times as a result of referencing other artist's stuff for ideas/style guidance. Also is just hard not getting frustrated when trying to self-teach myself something and my stabs at doing so aren't working out.

Honestly, I feel this comes from how someone approaches their work. As long as you have strong inspiration, and have another self awareness to know what level you're at, you can progress VERY quickly. But I notice some don't like to accept their faults, and tend to lean into a "my style" problem. Or perhaps they're unable to interpret how their inspiration draws, and thus studies are required.

You have an eye-catching style; the way in which you depict eyes is quite recognizable. My only nitpick would be the that the placement of the right eye of your character is slightly lower than that of his left one. I suggest that you raise the former just a little bit, in order to narrow the gap between his upper eyelid and his eyebrow. Other than that, it's a good drawing.

I know quite a few artists like this. Usually seem to be the type that draw for fun, and what they do at present is all they need, even if they keep making the same 'mistake' repeatedly from drawing to drawing, or end up Flanderizing their style.
Keep seeing artists with 'cute' simplified styles where their head size in art slowly increases year after year for some reason.

I like the facial expression of your character; the eyes in particular look quite appealing. However, the angle of her snout and the shape of her mouth look a bit incongruous in relation to the frontal position of her eyes. My suggestion is that you slightly reduce the angle of the snout, tweaking as well the shape of her mouth, in order to give them a more frontal appearance.

That sounds about right. I believe in most cases, the more you spend time on a drawing, the better it'll look. To me, I feel very slow and at times I'd like become faster at my drawings. But I've been told many times to allow speed to come to you. Otherwise, looking for speed can create bad habits.

No matter the level, you can complete a drawing. How the end result turns out determines your knowledge and mileage. Don't fear the idea that you can't complete a drawing due to lack of knowledge. Trust yourself, allow yourself to finish it. And if you have to ask yourself "am I done?" with a drawing, you're done.
Now, how to improve upon that will require Critique from others who share the same interests as you (hence this topic), and your studies. I've been copying Bridgman drawings lately, and I was surprised how much I've improved from doing that despite only drawing furry shit.

Usually isn't the case for me, where I'll think I'm done, then I give it a night's rest, and come back to it noticing some minor mistakes to correct. I guess I'm just more in the mindset of rather wanting to just redraw a piece later if I know something is really fucked up that I can't correct at present, that'll probably required a rework of the pose anyways, hence redrawing.

>I've been copying Bridgman drawings lately
When you say copying do you mean trying to replicate them 1:1, or just drawing the general form you see and picking/choosing what of it to put line to? Lately I've been just doing gestures/form studies from superhero stuff lately. Spider-Man's been a decent excuse for some dynamic poses that force me to figure/block-out some angles I normally divert from.

[Anonymous No.6368723]

>>6368711
Agreed. It's always best to give yourself at least a half an hour when you think you're "done" to let the information settle in your brain. It's actual science. Your brain needs the break from the, frankly, overly high stimulus of art. Staring at something constantly for one, two, eight hours can severely skew your perception of it, and I think most if not all artists have experienced that. I always see glaringly obvious mistakes on "finished" pieces after letting them marinate.

[Anonymous No.6368731]

>>6368711
>When you say copying do you mean trying to replicate them 1:1, or just drawing the general form you see and picking/choosing what of it to put line to?
Well in my case, I was peer pressured by someone who told me to copy Bridgman's book twice (2nd attempt from imagination). I've been busy, but I've been at it for a good 2 months now. Since then, a lot of people have been mentioning my growth without knowing that I've been on this exercise, so there's obviously some kind of benefit behind it even though I'm simply copying it for the sake of copying. I will say, questions I had before when I see other artists would stylize I no longer question. Feels like I know the answer already in how to mimic their work now, or how to approach my own.
When I copy, I try my best to copy 1 to 1, and I fail I just move forward. Upon failing, I'd note to myself what I fucked up and keep going. This mindset has carried over to my personal drawings, so maybe that's what helped me improved.

[Anonymous No.6368734]

>>6368731
Do you tend to try and rough/block in form when you're doing these studies? Or are you just examining the work from the side and trying to recreate it as you go? I'm still trying to figure out a study workflow for myself, where I tend to block in everything after a close-enough gesture/line-of-action.

Was thinking of busting out my old Hogarth books and using that for study material at some point since he exaggerates the muscle/form on everything. Maybe it'll help me retain some of it after the fact since I tend to quickly just go back to old habits/forget how something looked at a given angle.

[Anonymous No.6368741]

>>6368734
Basically yeah, I try to gesture/block in the figures or whatever it's making me draw. Same hands, but here's how the under layer looked, then try my best to "clean it up" with another brush and thus the final result. I focus on finding the form, and trying to learn easier ways in drawing the hand. Each attempt allows me to experiment with different methods, sometimes making me create my own.

fuck it, im not very good at it and there are other people in this thread who could probably teach you better than me but i also struggled with snouts a lot for years. one way i visualized it better was by placing the nose relative to the eyes like you see here, forming the mouth (with expression), and then using this sonic-like visualization of the cheek fat and stuff to build up the volume of this whole area that sort of encapsulates the muzzle (in my visualization anyway). i dont always show this in the final drawing but i often use it so i can help feel where things are in space. alternatively ill lay in an egg with roughly the characteristics of the head and the correct perspective, and then ill chisel the head shape out from there. in particular ill chisel out the shape of the brow and the way the muzzle juts out.
one thing i would say to look out for is making sure the foreshortening on the far side of the face is correct when doing 3/4ths heads.
i didnt go over differing muzzle shapes in this but i use this technique with altered shapes and flattened/rounded volumes for basically all animals. if you want sharper more realistic looking heads you can use this same method with sharper shapes as i also included.

No, I mean HOW do you learn. Just like you asked. Visually? Practically? Through reading? Do you need to see something to understand it, or can you imagine it in your head with clarity and go from there?
If you want to retain information better, you need to understand how your brain filters through it all. Some people simply don't learn from books well. It takes them way more effort. Some people can't watch videos, or they can't watch them without also implementing the exercises themselves.
Asking other people, "How do I learn?" is a bit self-defeating, since only an individual can really answer that question. So my answer to you is, think about how you've best found success learning in the past, and implement that into drawing.

I think it's a pretty valid question. Not many people think about that sort of thing, since many of us go through school being told how we should learn, instead of being encouraged to discover the method that works best for us.

Up to this point I was learning by practicing, "copying" by eye and watching youtube artists however I feel like I am more of a hands-on person and I would need some personal training, someone who could guide me and give me specific feedback.
I tried looking for courses but all I can find is architecture shit.

If they're like that, then yes, I think so. That's a very nice drawing, and from a technical standpoint, it can be useful for established and newer artists alike to see how others construct their drawings. Like seeing how you did the hands here is very helpful for me.

>>6372288
Hm, yeah, it might be difficult to find a personal tutor. However, if searching for them, then try using words other than "drawing", since as you're discovering I think that usually applies to technical or architectural drawing.
You might also have some luck from watching artist streams and asking questions. That also comes with the benefit of the artist potentially already being into NSFW stuff, so you can ask those types of questions.

Read theory, do master studies, it's not that complicated.

[Anonymous No.6372329]

>>6372320
Doesn't work for everyone. I'm not sure why it's so hard for some people to grasp that not everyone learns in the same ways, but that's the truth of it. Not everyone will get as much out of master studies or theory, and it pays to do some introspection from time to time. The problem is not always the student, and I'd argue it very rarely is.

[Anonymous No.6372364]

>>6372329
I'd agree theory is more hit or miss, but I find it hard to believe not everyone gets something from master studies. Certainly some will get more from it, but at the bare minimum you will learn the process used to make the art you like, training your brain on the methods used to get there..

How would I salvage picrel? I have two main issues with it thats stopping me to take this further.

1) How would I block out the grayscale values so it all reads better (I kinda fucked up with character choice - both having black legs, which makes it read poorly no matter what I try).

2) the pose feels bit whack with anatomy being all over the place.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can use atmospheric perspective here to help out distinguish them from each other.
Example: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/AqNozW
In this picture you can see atmospheric perspective used on the grill's hand, to make the silhouette more readable.

>just like our forefathers and forefathers' fathers did
You also want to know what they did? They analyzed how and what they learned and wrote it down. These treasures of precious knowledge, gained over lifetimes of work and study, were carefully collected and refined over the course of many generations, and lo and behold, these are what are called "fundies" today.
Yet you're so lazy that instead of just reading a fucking book and doing some exercises, you're going to expend ten times the effort just to end up reinventing the wheel and come to the same conclusions that your ancestors already did who the fuck knows how long ago.
I swear, everytime I read some shit like this I just want to reach through my computer screen and slap the person in question.

You're getting yourself riled up for no reason. I said it would be far more difficult. It would take ages longer, because you're right: you're insisting on reinventing the wheel. You and I are in complete agreement. I stated that you don't HAVE to learn the fundamentals, and you don't; but you'll be doing yourself a massive disservice if you don't, if you truly want to make progress.

But go ahead and be mad at me if you want, I truly don't care.

Apologies for the misunderstanding, but your post and the context surrounding gives the opposite impression, and there are retards that actually do think that way. I know this because I've seen them post here several times before. So it wasn't without reason, just misdirected.

I remember when I used to draw like this.
I was able to get out of this phase by copying the entire book of Hampton's figure drawing, all the while trying to mimic my favorite artists.

[Anonymous No.6373560]

>>6373540
I çant tell if you're a troll or not. Can you name what the phase is? I know I fucked up the linework and there's a lot of tangents from what I can see. What else wants work?

[Anonymous No.6373569]

>>6373560
A lot of issues with the line quality and anatomy. Sorry if I came off really vague, but with a drawing like this it's clear you still need a ways to go. Providing feedback to this drawing here won't work very well since a lot of knowledge is lacking. This is where Hampton's book will come in, and copying each page should provide both the mileage and knowledge in order to improve your work.
As for the line art, it's obvious your lines very wobbly. This comes from lack of mileage and not age in this situation. Peter Han has a really good exercise to help with this, by drawing over on the same line over and over again to understand your line control.

The author seems incredibly humble also, but I guess as an instructor/teacher, you have to have some patience with people. I didn't realize he even had a Youtube channel until recently, which has been a good casual watch to better watch his workflow/thought process.

Wish he started these years ago when he did that revised edition of his book, as they're pretty complementary to some of the shit his book describes.
