Ok so, I recently got into art and I want to know how to get good at drawing furry art. Any tips or resources on how to get started?

Lets ask Cuckchan /co/. Noone here draws.

to get good at drawing furry art, get good at drawing art.

do your fundamentals. gesture drawing, lots of it. learn to think in shapes and how to sight. study your anatomy, including animal anatomy as it will be very applicable to you. draw a lot, realise you're a shitty artist, cry about it like a faggot, draw some more, think you did something good, then find someone to critique it so you can realise it's shit

Sounds like my life.

Then find a few people who appreciate your art and declare everyone else as sellout assholes.

This. If you want to know how to draw furry art but you're not curious enough to look for the answers yourself, there's no way you're going to follow through with it.

Same way you get good at drawing regular art in general, except you'll want to do a lot more animal studies

It's a really, really long road, and almost everybody gives up


 No.70722

Dude, why do you even bother getting into this shit, after a few years you'll become a victim of one of the threads like "why we hate this furry artist" or "let's bash this one and that one". It's not worth it. Get out of here as quickly as you can.

He's not going to remain that way forever, but it's only up to himself to change.

I remember when I stubbornly refuse to study or do lifedrawings in favor of furry-specific tutorials, but then I finally did them because I realized that you'll improve faster from them.

>>70707

Nah, it's best to go on a place like /loomis/ or crimsondaggers instead. /ic/ worked for me as it was very blunt, but some can't handle flak.


 No.70725

And after learning all that you'll get treated like shit.

Just be nobody and you'll be fine

how to get good at drawing furry art

Step 1: Get good at drawing humans realistically. As in take a class or buy books on sketch art and drawing figures

Step 2: Get good at drawing animals realistically. As in draw dogs and stuff and don't skimp on details of fur

Step 3: Draw things you see outside, take a sketchbook with you and experiment trying to draw poses of people and architecture. This makes you significantly better at drawing mostly anything which is a necessary skill when doing commissioned art. (A lot of furry artists are incapable of drawing certain species or things like backgrounds. And they're not willing go out of their comfort zone and experiment)

Step 3: anthropomorphize the animal drawings by gradually adding human anatomical features (front facing eyes, human expressions, upright bodies etc).

Most "good" furry artists did it this way where they only did furry much later after already being really good artists. Usually in an attempt to make money. In fact I'd argue trying to start out being a "furry artist" will limit you artistically and make it so it becomes harder to branch out and truly get really good at it. It's important to master representing the natural world first before you start trying to stylize and do your own thing. This is also how artists who are famous for stylized paintings did it. Almost all of them had a heavy background in traditional realistic art before they started to experiment. And now they're most well known for their experiments. Picasso is a great example.

I don't go to a place like /loomis/, the name alone is snobbish. I just wanna have fun and now draw a renaissance painting.

OR you ignore everything you have to learn about drawing and end up with a style like the shit you'd see on tumblr, or in Steven Universe or Adventure Time and get WAY more cash and fame than those pathetic fools who take years for one finished pic and earn exactly as much as those who half-ass is, if not less.

If noone likes your crappy art, try to make a webcomic with your crappy art, then people will love that shit. See Two Kinds.

OR: Just don't draw yourself. Make garbage up, let another one draw it and get all the fame for it. Also like webcomics.

It's not snobbish as everyone there thinks that they are weak. Besides, even if you aren't great with realistic paintings, you can do every style out there without putting too effort into relearning everything again.

Drawing is so easy:

1) Picture in your mind what you want to draw

2) Get a marker and sheet of paper

3) Move your hand along the paper and wherever it feels there should be a line, put a line

4) Done.

See video for example.
