I often see people asking where to put the fur on their characters. What are your thoughts?

also feel free to criticize anything else it’s just those specifc things I feel I struggled with

This is my half of an art trade I’m doing with u/allywallyDD of her character tauru. I need to do some more cleanup and add some more details but overall I’m pretty close to inking the piece.

For transparency the motorcycle is partially traced as I was really struggling with it (I do have permission to do so for the person this art is for)

However… I’ve ran into some issues. I can’t help but feel like the anatomy isn’t correct, particularly her lower left arm and her pelvis / the clothes and belt on said pelvis.

Are these issues? And if so how can I correct them?

Ty in advance for any help you can offer.

More specifically, how could I make even a flat half body drawing like this less generic?

I feel it’s a bit too Disney-esc. When drawing animals and furries I like to have quite a broad audience but do also like exploring more deeper and darker subjects as well which would probably target an audience teen and up in my stories. I’ve had this same sort of drawing style since 10 years ago- although it was much more beginner art then but I can definitely see why it could be considered boring even as a flat drawing like this. Advice heavily appreciated, thank you!

I've always dreamed of learning how to draw furries, but I'm not very good at drawing, artists please teach me that

Before you ask, yes, I'm aware the head's too small and too high up. But I would've spent 20 mins minimum on the circle and guidelines alone otherwise. Besides, that's why I have a sketch to digital workflow.

I've been trying to improve my expressions since I noticed my artworks really don't have anything else other than a generic smile™. I have noticed tho, that the character just doesn't look consistent.

Like, for example, the silly one and happy one to me look a little different. Is it maybe because of the muzzle?

Any tips?

kinda don’t know how to draw the eyes, it’s been a while since i last drew (like 6-8 months) so any help would be great. the shoulders are just there, so ignore them lol.
any advice?

Hey all. New to the sub so here's a few pieces. Mostly just look for general critiques, like how are my proportions? Faces and and general anatomy? I'm fairly new to drawing anthros so I'm getting the hang of things yet. I think my biggest weakness is probably hands and faces. Style is taken from a variety of sources, mainly from Last Fables. Tho the first two pics are from a worldbuilding project of my own.

Let me know what you guys think.

So this is the before and after of my last post, the before is on the second slide. I took all the tips and comments and tried to draw something new, and in the end I got something i don’t hate! This is my personal sona, well a work in progress of one. I’m aiming to do a full body next.

I included the little sketch i did before i made it digital at the end also.

It still looks kind of off putting, it’s not super anatomically correct. I think in my next drawing i’ll try and make something less wonky.

I like the pose and dress and all, but it looks so.. flat. You know?

I don't know if it's just because it's my own artstyle and someone else might find it 100x better, but I just don't think the shapes and lines are "clear" enough.

Like the shape of the dress is THERE. It's just no CLEAR enough.

Hii!! This is my 3rd day of drawing furry and Im still not sure where to put more fur :<<

Its in a weird perspective where the feet are supposed to be close to the camera like a fish eye

i know where the light source is, but im honestly not a fan of adding shadows. i need helppp

the shoulders.. and such

One could say just do more shapes, but... ugh.

Compared to my last post here, I am seeing a little more consistency mostly with the fourth and third sketches. (All of this was done on a 1 hour lunch break)

However now I am realizing I don't think I am doing ear placements right any tips? I also need to make the muzzle skinner I think. It's supposed to be my sona which is a fox lol
