Okay ^^
To me, I think people watch and fav an artist for what he does the most. Well, I mean, when someone draw a lot of wolf, he is known for that. I saw my fav decrease a lot when I've started to draw humans, so...Dun really know either x)
I understand that anyway. I'd be curious to see some humans from you, with your nice cartoony style, I'm sure they would be great
You're welcome ! ♥

So true. I mean, if you only draw furries what else are you going to get commissioned for?
Just sayin

I agree with that

If someone enjoys drawing that specific thing, let them.
Shouldn't have to be forced to draw stuff you don't wanna just to make money. Noone wants to be a sell out :/

That only works if you are okay with no progression.
Drawing the same thing over and over again gets you absolutely nowhere. This was emphasized in my class and its a lesson that I finally learned from experience.
Of course, its not easy task. I will admit that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wouldn't say drawing the same thing isn't progression.
Some people are just more comfortable doing that same thing.
As far as i see it, art is for the artist to enjoy, not just to please everyone else.
I draw the same thing allll the time, and i don't really plan on changeing that, but i definitely wouldn't say i haven't progressed.

A real artist isn't afraid to step out of her/his comfort zone. You need to be able to draw everything if you wish to have a reliable career in the artistic field. Limiting yourself to one subject will not get you anywhere.
You can progress in small ways by drawing the same thing over and over, but overall you will be running in a treadmill.
Of course, draw whatever makes you happy. However, understand that its not always a good thing to hide in that comfort zone. Unless you treat art as a hobby, then it really doesn't matter.

Where i live, making it a career is next to impossible, nobody wants an artist these days :/
I can draw plenty, i'm not limited at all, though i prefer my anthro art.
I actually have a large portfolio of different things.
I'd say its more a hobby, but i care too much for it for it to call it a hobby.
I'd jump at the chance to get a job involving it, but as i said before, its a very limited chance orz;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
All the more reason to be impressive. People actually do want artists. The problem is, you have to be REALLY impressive these days to land a reliable job. So the more that you can draw for others, the better. Hence why people should be drawing more things than anime, dogs, anthros, etc and expand their boundaries. Easy? Nope. Worth it? Most def.

Like i said, i have a wide skill on drawing different things, i can paint too.
But really, if you lived where i lived, you'd understand my problem :c
I live in a town famous for and dedicated to upholstry :I

I lived in a place where 'art classes' are a joke and motivation was nix. Didn't stop me from trying different things. I eventually landed a summer job as a muralist and expanded to online commissions. You can still gain a lot of money from the interwebz, but you have to be really impressive to have people commission you. Especially since the vast majority of people interested in furry art are children, and they can't. Unless you count fake payment such as points as money.

I've never commissioned, i find the thought of it scary really, the amount of scams i've heard about.
I'm 18 years old, i think i've passed the child stage. Go look on FA, those people are not children.. not saying i'm proud of seeing some of it, but eiter way children didn't draw it.
You'd be surprised how many people are interested in it, and how many people commission it too.
Obviously if i were to do commisions, i would vary myself for the public, cause i don't have a vast amount of watchers, and not all of them are major fans of furry art, so i'd need to consider other art for my other watchers.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I said a vast majority, not everyone. And I was referring more to this site in particular. Lets face it, mostly children come here. Or that's why my audience seems to consist of. Not to say that there aren't some more mature individuals who present talented abilities around here.
I can see the potential concern in commissions. You do have to do your research about your patrons or artists in order to ensure that business is reliable. In addition, there are ways to make the deal a reasonable experience, if you know the methods.
I say screw the public. Of course, I will always be grateful for their support, encouragement, generous comments, and sincere interest in what I have to offer. But that does not mean that their demands are the most reliable to support on. For instance, most of my watchers prefer me to draw Warrior cats and other feline artwork. As fun as it would be to draw felines all day and receive a great deal of approval, I will gain very little benefit from it.
Just a thought.

I've never once thought of drawing something i didn't like just for the approval of others.
Yes, i like drawing animals and such, but if i were doing commisions, i would probably go somewhere other than here, unless i just wanted to earn bits of cash off my usual art, cause that stuff is easy for me to draw, and i would never make anyone pay large sums of money for something that can be bought off anyone else.
I admit, development and originality is hard when it comes to drawing anthros, alot of people get accused of copying eachother. I've done the research and looked at many pictures, and anthro styles really aren't that varied. They all have similarities in one way or another. Same for sparkledogs. I can't stand sparkle dogs.
I used to draw wolves, but i gave up on the fact that you only get noticed if you drew that crap. I wanted people to watch me do something that wasn't what i consider somewhat a 'fashion' her on dA.
People always draw wolves on here, and expect you to draw them. What is so great about the wolf? Sure they're beautiful, but besides that, its just a wild dog.
Overall i don't really mind people drawing wolves, but when it gets to the point of obssession, aka, people actually referring to themselves as wolves, with 'paws' and 'tails', And then give them ridiculous fur colours.
I don't think the odd colour thing is a problem in anthro, cause they're not even real :I
I went completely off topic. Ended up talking about something that pisses me off.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh no, I agree with you there. I greatly dislike furry stuff in general, since I find it all very delusional and even to the point of creepy (not always the case, true, but thats the general image).
Wolfaboos are just as annoying, since they find wolves to be the best thing since sliced bread. Wolves are nice and all, but way too overrated and have taken over the internet.
The problem with anthro art, is that its fail anatomy. Or thats what the result leads to. For the most part, there is nothing wrong with drawing anthros (to a certain extent) but so many people think that they have mastered anatomy because of it. Drawing anthros is not the way to learn anatomy, and the sooner that people realize it, the quicker they will learn.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I did some live model drawings in school and college, so i like to think i've got a pretty good hold on anatomy, long way to go still though, i don't think you can ever really get it spot on perfect.
On the other hand, if its the overly proportioned pervy anthros your talking about, i agree.
I don't think its even possible for an anthro, let alone a real human, to have size Z+ boobs and god knows what hips, and then have a teeny tiny waist.
Not to mention it puts a disgusting erotica on a seemingly innocent art style. I think anthro was supposed to be cute back in the day. But people actually get turned on by it now.
And MLP porn. That has brought up a new hatred for me when it comes to weird ass fetishes. How can anyone turn childrens characters, who are depicted as being no older than 10 in human years, into full blown porn stars with tits.
I mean, cat women is one thing, but HORSES with boobs, thats just gross.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!!!
The way that people turn such things into porn is beyond annoying. Its especially sickening when furries go crazy over it and get turned on, as you mentioned.
People just need to stop, get a life, and take out the trash
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Take out the trash XD;;
Yeah, i like drawing anthro, but i think the whole porno thing is rather off putting.
I daw it for the cute, not to turn people on XD;; I think i'd be freaked out if someone did
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Anthro can be okay to play around with, so long as people don't rely on it to practice human anatomy. Which is what the issue is nowadays.
Yeah, turning on with furrys are a fail

"Anthro can be okay to play around with, so long as people don't rely on it to practice human anatomy."
Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks for that! Finally someone's agree with me
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I draw them for the pure fun of them, and i don't practice my anatomy at all on them, i more play with the anatomy, seeing as they aren't human and the rules don't apply.
Not in the pervy kinda way though >.<
If i'm doing actual anatomy, i usually just draw a really rough frame of a person with no face lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Of course, there is nothing wrong about using anthros for kicks and giggles. I'm referring to the fact that people assume that they are practicing their human anatomy with anthros. Which is barely the case and not the right way to do it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah, i've hardly seen any anthro art that uses realistic human anatomy.
But i don't see why anyone would use them for practice on it, they're not even human XD;;

Well, i think this is the first time i've talked to somebody about my views without getting rage thrown at me XD;;
I think people need to talk things through more~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Seriously.
Besides, even if your opinion is different, it doesn't always make it wrong. People need to get over the fact that different opinions exist and to not care what others think.
To a certain extent of course
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Totally.
Like people who can't get over the fact that some people are homosexual.
Just one of the many things that some people can't agree on.
But obviously, some opinions, like say thinking murder is cool, that will always be wrong.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hate to say it, but I'm one of those who doesn't agree with that topic. However, it is an opinion that can be discussed with civilization and is open for respect.
However,there are some topics that are just not up for debate. Such as murder, indeed. Especially those wolfaboos who are anti-human cus we kills wolves and watnot. Its insane and downright disturbing
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Everyone has their own opinion on that topic really, i don't think it'll ever be fully accepted.
But at least your open to it, rather than slandering it at every given chance. I admit i will dabble in the odd gay joke, but not to an offensive point.
Oh wolfaboos do my head in. I think they need to realize that they're human too, and need to put up with it. They can go on about loving them all they want, but at the end of it wolves don't love us, and they would hurt us given the opportunity.
Plus some people kill them to survive. I don't see anyone crying over dead chickens, so why wolves?
It seems only the 'cute' animals deserve to live these days.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
See, I'm so glad that you approach it with an mature manner. If I say anything like that, I get spammed with "Ur such a bigot!!!! Gosh, go rot in hell cus ur relgious!!!" or some annoying crap.
Its so true. The thing is, wolves are so misunderstood to a point where people think its okay to have them as pets. They forget that they are wild animals and should be treated as such.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In the end religion and opinions have nothing to do with eachother. People can't be forced to hate something simply because they're religious lol.
I've met plenty of open minded Christians.
Not to mention that people think they're this epic breed that can do anything.
They can't even survive unless they're in a pack. One wolf can do hardly anything on its own.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Everyone is just allowed to believe whatever the chose. They just have to avoid shoving it down other peopl's throats and appear as intolerant
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My point exactly c:
Haha i only become nasty about opinions when someone tells me i'm utterly wrong when i know i'm not, even if my opinion isn't entirely right either.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Generally speaking, no opinion is right or wrong. Hence why its called an opinion.
However, there is a difference between being reasonable and ridiculous.

But, 95% of your art on deviantArt is of a furry/animal nature. Isn't a bit contradicting of you to point out about Deni posting artwork of a similar nature?
It's not a complaint it's merely an observation.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I actually have more variety in my gallery. I give it more like 75%, and that's mostly because I only recently realized that I am capable of drawing more. I just have to actually stop being lazy and post my sketches that are not done digitally.

I've had a couple that involved humans before.

No way to tell since we never see em. The only recent human thing that we're aware of was that Black Swan portrait (which is still pretty darn awesome)
