Oddly enough I used to be somewhat big in the feral furry scene many years ago. Ended up getting a fair number of followers. I pretty much just did feral female dog smut. But two things drove me away, 1) I kind of lost passion for drawing and shifted more towards writing and recording music, and 2) The furry community started getting very toxic. So with that, I just stopped posting altogether. I'd post them here, but likely I'd become recognizable. Funny enough, I've seen my art posted on the forum a few times by other users not knowing it was mine.

Cool! I've approached the arts a couple of times in my life, but nothing serious ever came out of it. All the smut here kind of makes me want to give it another go.? Too bad about the toxicity. It would have been fun to see your work.

Practice make perfect, yo. One thing I've always done with my artwork is point out one or two mistakes I've made with any piece I've finished. But instead of beating myself up over any mistakes, instead I take it as a learning opportunity for what I'd like to avoid on my next piece. Keep drawing more and more, and eventually you'll see yourself getting better and better each time.

Thanks for the advice, but I already knew that. I just fall out of habit after a while. I have no problem at all with being shitty. Especially since lines and stick figures seem to be the foundation of practically everything haha

You're welcome. One prevalent thing I see with todays artists is to obsess over the imperfections of their piece. Since they were the ones that drew it from start to finish, they tend to dwell on the things they did wrong, rather than congratulating themselves on the things they did right. This only enables self-discouragement. Instead of dwelling on negatives, it's better to see those negatives as potential positives, the knowledge of which can be applied toward your next piece. My vehicle sketches weren't always hyper realistic, for example. I started out drawing boxes for cars and over time I pushed myself to get better and better.
