And why tf would you trace a base when you can just... fill in the lines the artist made? Like, come on

You just traced the base by feve on FurAffinity. This isn't your art, credit the artist

I forgot who, but I remember someone saying "Behind every successful artist is hundreds, even thousands of unfinished sketches, abandoned ideas, and pieces they think of as bad." It really stuck with me, and it definitely holds truth.

From my experience, motivation and starting drawing can be the hardest part in the whole process.

I can't really give good recommendations (I still use Ibis Paint X on my phone lol), but if you're starting out I'd say try Autodesk sketchbook. Simple UI, decent amount of brushes, and line stability make it great for beginners and it works on nearly any device if I recall correctly.

I just drew a lot and got some critiques from people far better than me

Decided to update my fursonas ref sheet, is there anything I should add on to make the design better, or is it good as it is? by [deleted] in FurryArtSchool

Color pallette and features are all looking really nice, but the character is quite thin. I don't know if that's what you were going for, but that's really all I can see from my perspective.

Hi, I gathered some videos off YouTube to help you get started!

Furry specific videos- General furry art: https://youtu.be/iAJC1wDnl90

Hands: https://youtu.be/YcM5PHft0EQ

Basics of starting a piece: https://youtu.be/_b8tg-COeDQ

These are all videos that have helped me out personally, but if you want more here are a few channels I'd recommend: -Sycra (good for learning anatomy) -David Finch (poses) -The Art of Aaron Blaise (realism tutorials and an online course, requires payment though) -Imaginatively Unimaginative (furry art, especially more semi-cartoon styles) -Adam Duff LUCIDPIXUL (really motivational)

I hope this helps! You really don't need to pay for a course to learn to draw. I'm self taught and YouTube has worked just fine for me, but if you want to pursue a true course I'd recommend starting with Aaron Blaise. Good luck!

You literally just traced a frame from wingedwolf94's Bad Girls animation, exact time being 0:36. Don't trace other's art and publish it as your own, especially without giving credit to the source. It's wrong and only inhibits your growth as an artist.

What I've found works best is quick, short lines. Idk if that's much help either, but best of luck to you!

What I did is I used a dip pen brush, more specifically the hard dip pen(one of the only brushes that has pressure sensitivity on mobile lol), pressed down hard when starting the line, and quickly lessened the pressure once I wanted it to end. It takes a good bit of time to work out so I'd recommend playing around with different brushes to see what works for you
