Description IF YOU FAVOURITE THIS IMAGE, HAVE THE DECENCY TO LEAVE ME A COMMENT. THANK YOU.

Just a random tutorial I'd made to show the process I use when drawing... There is never a right or wrong way to draw, this is just how I do it. My only problem is that the smoke on this looks dumb. xD

Time Spent: About 5 hours.
Approximate Commission Price: Final Image $30 USD

You have a wonderful Tutorial that helped me out in the time of need. Basically was doing a picture for my best friend that was a gift, but I didn't know how to do Anthro style I've done human or angelic mostly. Until recently I returned back to Furcadia and wanted to draw my friend a picture and your tutorial helped me even though I did a little diff. Link

I'm glad you enjoyed it. <3 A good way to learn how to do anthros is... basically look at animals. Human bodies with animal heads is a pretty easy way, generally. Muzzles are hard, even for me... but it takes lots of practice and you'll get it. <3

Cute picture, by the way. n.n I really like her hair.

Really? I learned something new today with anthros woot! ^_^ Yeah I kinda figured muzzles may be hard to do. Never tried that yet and I know I be erasing like crazy. Lol

Thank you! I like your tutorial example she cute too especially the clothes and how she looks. <3 Maybe one day I draw her for you as fan art.

I'm glad you made this ^-^

There are a lot of anthro tutorials that are too bunched up or minimalistic which makes it less helpful.

Yours is so clean and simple to understand ^-^

McKaelaKaiyou In reply to catdragon229 [2009-03-19 17:55:55 +0000 UTC]

Bah, you know I don't believe that. I like your stuff. x3 A few things to remember, you're only awful because you say you are, if you say you need improvement you'll drive yourself to improve all the time. And practice really does make perfect. xD

I've been drawing for... I'd say about 11 years--half my life--and I'm nowhere near the skill level that I wish I was. But I have to practice every day to attain it, and so do you. <3

*Giggles.* They're really quite good. I printed a bunch of them out years and years ago. Wish they were still around. *Double-checks to see if it's .net instead...*

...Hmmm, I'm not sure if any of these are the tutorials I used, but you might find something worth looking at. [link]

thank you so much for making this ;-; I could never get the anthro face-shape right.

McKaelaKaiyou In reply to marshmu [2008-10-19 17:19:22 +0000 UTC]

No problem, glad it could actually help someone. <3

As I was learning I got a lot of inspiration from *uranium-husky 's work, so you can probably still see a little bit of resemblance to her facial structure even today. xD

And in their culture, the larger the ears, the more powerful the being is supposed to be. x3

Nice picture and character - not all too sure how she hauls those ears around though ><

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

McKaelaKaiyou In reply to jetphantomflame [2008-06-07 03:21:13 +0000 UTC]

Very carefully? xD

I dunno, I figure my excuse is her metal innards. Like most (if not all) parts of her body, movement of her ears would be controlled by hydraulics and other high-tech things that I don't actually understand. Plus, I figure her ears would have a metal base, or even thin metal inside them as cartilage... but I have nooo idea. xD Her insides still aren't completely desided on.
