Gimme monies: My Patreon (bit.ly/3xXZYP3) and Ko-Fi (bit.ly/3HRAnw1) I'm not gonna lie; I don't have much to say here. I went to bed at like 7 and got like 3 hours of sleep, too, so words aren't exactly forthcoming right now, either. If you're wondering, yeah the reason I have Von Lycaon on the thumbnail is that I know your furries are very susceptible to clickbait. Hopefully, the other ZenlesszoneZero fans will give it a click as well. Now go! Carry this video to success, Von Lycaon!

I have struggled so much watching this makes me cry.. only I'm crying from joy at seeing someone else working through everything just like me. It makes me feel like nothing is wrong with me, and that this is just the normal thing you push through before it gets better. Thank you for not hiding the worst away like most people.
Your drawings look awesome so far! I know you won't like your drawings (don't worry I hate my drawings too!) You gotta start somewhere! I've been wanting to learn how to draw good looking furries too
I've been trying to get better at drawing, too! I'm not particularly passionate about it, but I do want to be able to draw my OCs consistently. I admire your confidence in even showing the art you aren't proud of or think is ugly. 💛
Started taking art seriously in February(2024) and the greatest advice is to embrace the drawing you think are ugly and try to finish them so you can see the big difference a couple months later Enjoy the art journey!!!!
This is all really good for a beginning artist! Especially when tackling something as complex as living creatures, as opposed to still lifes and backgrounds. I don't know if you take advice, but one thing that I recommend is trying to adopt the art style of specific artists. Drawing based off of simple anatomical references will make your art appear realistic, but can easily wind up causing everything to be a mash-up of styles (especially when using furries as a reference), and trying to adopt a style is a good way to not only see what you want from your art but also a good way to let you experiment and try to do things that you want to do differently. I use Kazuma Kaneko as a basis for my style, but stylize the eyes to be taller and intentionally neglect drawing nostrils for a more cartoon-y look. Oh, and ignore the whole rule of "everything has to look realistic." Sometimes things just look better when they're drawn more simply, and it saves you much more time when you're just doing art as a hobby.
For 3 months, you've made noticeable amount of progress, of course you still have a long way to go, and seeing you developing your art would be fun! 😁 drawing while listening to music is really good, i have a big folder full of Video game and anime OSTs, they're like my fuel to keep drawing. i dunno, i felt like sharing this. 😊
This is awesome progress! You can really see how your compositional skills are increasing over the video. I really noticed it in the way you had highlighted some of the fur, and were creating the reflections in the hot tub water. So good! 😊👍🏻
Try rotating a box in perspective. It's one of the things that really made things click for me. Pay attention to the lines and the angles as the square rotates, this tells you where to place basically everything on a 3D structure, so you'll notice a lot of improvement in drawing faces.
Me too! I sometimes did modding on low-poly (PS1 era) 3D games, and the ability to rotate sections of a model in 3D space also really helped make things "click" for me when drawing (primarily) from imagination.
I absolutely love this! Seeing your progress in a short time is exciting. I've been drawing since Elementary school and only took it seriously to draw Anime in highschool, now at 27 making horny art, its quite the journey. Love that you've taken a passion to learning to draw and that you're making note of what you need to work on. Every drawing you do is an evolution of your Art and Style☺️🎉
Your progress so far is really impressive! Hope you keep at it. Also, I know it’s artist nature to say everything they make sucks, but I actually think a lot of your later sketches of furry faces look really good, especially for just starting out. If you don’t mind me giving a lil advice I wished I had when I started drawing- the human body is essentially made up of a bunch of simple shapes. You can draw things like squares, circles and rectangles to make a basic outline of the torso, shoulders and arms before adding definition to them like muscles. Also, the chest is goggle-shaped, which was the most important thing for me to learn ngl (my chests used to look either really flat or unnaturally thick). Finally, don’t be afraid to make extremely messy sketches that look like chicken-scratch, and don’t be afraid to draw over finished sketches either. Fill your pages. Some of the sketches I learned most from, were ones I made really quick without lifting my pencil from the page.
Hands are notoriously hard to draw. But it's great to learn to do new things. I just wished I had the energy and time to learn to draw too. Keep up the work. You'll level up a little every day.
It's not about "having" the time but "finding" or "taking" the time -- even if it's just 3 to 5 minutes at a time. I "learned to draw" by doodling through college lectures.
Well first of all you can't really improve a lot without doing traditional so don't just gave up on them do traditional every once in a while because really there's some skills you need that you can't learn from digital (and you can even forget) when I was speedruning to get in an art major my teacher literally banned any kind of digital art stuff for that reason (you don't need to do the same it's just that extreme situations needs extreme regulations) Second of all basic shapes are really the key good job on learning the skeleton but also you can do it for every single stuff and it'll be a lot easier to draw when you find the basic shapes Third of all angles and placement it looks like that's the thing you're currently struggling with the most. Your lines are pretty great for someone who spent that little time on art but due to your issues that will definitely improve with time The only thing I can say is look and analyze your references more thoroughly and compare something like if the eye is here hair should be around there etc and try to watch videos about people drawing and see how they use their reference/model
Second that: creating art is about training your hands and developing the muscle memory to accurately depict what you see, which is applicable to any media but is especially true with traditional media where it is _literally_ just you and your media of choice, no assists.
Honestly, I see the thumbnail and I have to tell myself to _not_ say anything, because by default it's too easy to compare this to my skill level (I've been drawing for 20+ years), when what really counts isn't how you compare to _other_ artists but how *you* (now) compare to *yourself* (then).
Interesting Story that you learn to draw , unlike your i have years of learn a practice my art because i draw since 3 years old AND learn AND practice first on tradicional before digital AND the things that i need did was practice More in animation, start AND finish a cómic proyect, star to 3d modeling, rendering AND riging for a 3d programa like Maya or vender AND More others things that i needs doing that.
well your artworks ... are ... too novice, really novice so i am not a true artist but i want joke about but i have some ¿moral? well seeing my olds works first my old drawings loked better thar yours (i have some cringe) but i need remenber how i was then. (obiously i can t give a advanced tips first) -tip 0, the famous words "confia en el proseso, que el proseso confiara en ti" (translated as belive in the prosses, the prosses will belive you) so practice, practice, but learn the errors and what are the error and how inprove, and remenber this is a marathon not a race -tip 0 unless the artork have the nesesary "level" avoid any comision because is the worng way and mostly can be a failure -tip 1. well the first is the orbs and cilinders ejercise is one of the more usefull because the first tips, try make the most simple/basic reductions and most of the human shape and tutorial have use of both cilinders and orbs (more latter) -tip numbrer 2, try drawing someting you see however DONT TRACE/CALC (unless you are studing someting), the picture memory is one of most important in drawing so try drawing someting you see -tip 3, try drawing more diverse drawings, so draw pasages, draw animals, draw some fanarts, draw more fanarts but changing someting, exiting the "confort zone" some times have a litte benefit in other drawings avoing the echo chamber of drawing the same and same and same and ... -tip 4, because you have a little channel or for other social media try have a avatar (a fursona still counts as avatar) try making a drawing of a character for better representation, so chosse a character whit a good conection whit you, no nesesarly a OC (original character) can be a already existing character, a lot of other youtubers i watch started whit a already exiting chararcter but the chatacter can be interated/modifiqued after a time mostly for making more unique, (a good example is dustman a uruguayan megaman youbuter stared as the character whit same name as avatar after a time change the desing) -tip 5, isnt worng have a confort character for drawing or drawing for fun, a good use for make drawing for more chill moments -tip 6 learn about the armature (similar a 3D model), some people call it a skeleton or line guides. this lines help to make some poses more easy and almost all the time and can use the cilinder and orbs to make a "manekin" and presto a base -tip 7 learn about the gesture similar to tip 7, but basicaly is trying make a visual pose whit the less lines posible -tip 8 avoid using too saturated colors (unless the glowing things) -tip´9 can try animation, comic/manga, 3D modeling a lot of artist can encounter the nishe for you and you can learn someting -tip 10 may be a streaming drawing can be a someway experience, well you already have a 7000 subcribers so ... why no try it a least once
I've been trying to get better at drawing myself as well! But it's difficult (in my own way) I don't really have the drive to motivate myself because I don't really know where to start.

Four words: draw like a sir (this man has helped me with a whole lot)

The drawings are really, really good. 3 months and you made that :0 it’s astonishing
You seem to be in the infancey of your art.
Keep going, and improving your art! I believe you will reach the sky!

good luck! love the bathtube full art.
if you do your ocs i could try doing fanart of it
i love the depressed solo-queue Rocket! getting the color distortion in the water for the hot tub piece was a nice touch too
Fuuri this is amazing progress ^^ Reminded me of when I used to draw as a beginner before
Its ok to use reference!5:02 i know its difficult but its will become muscle memory!
Keep up the good work!

加油 !! :)
Holy shizz did not expect this!!! Keep going !!
Ah new bara furry artist in the making
You need to go to a friend or an artist you look up to and asked for counteractive feedback. That’s how you’ll know what’s wrong with your art
Interesting Story that you learn to draw , unlike your i have years of learn a practice my art because i draw since 3 years old AND learn AND practice first on tradicional before digital AND the things that i need did was practice More in animation, start AND finish a cómic proyect, star to 3d modeling, rendering AND riging for a 3d programa like Maya or vender AND More others things that i needs doing that.

I've seen plenty of artists who know how to make things look sexy and hot 😂
I'm always like: "I want to be able to draw like that! 🤤
