    O yeah, I wanted to know what kind of tools you use. Or atleast what you'de recomend.
    Also what tips can you give for drawing hair, shaping faces and drawing... boobs.
    Is studying art good to cause I'm looking at the technique of you, Moonstalker, Fluke, Cerberus, Aramet, WolfKidd, Rimou, Eldiman, and FoxxFire.

      I used Micron pens, but they've recently gone bad with their ink, so I'm planning on trying Staedtler pens, though I hear Copic pens are good too. I use Prismacolor markers and colored pencils for coloring, and GellyRoll white gel pens. (GellyRoll seems to be the only kind that doesn't gum up too much.)

      For drawing hair, don't draw individual strands. Draw natural-looking sections of hair or the overall shape.
      For shaping faces, uh... I don't know what you're having a problem with specifically, and it's too broad a topic to just give general advice on,
      For drawing boobs, remember they are soft and squishy and not perfectly round. They flatten as they lay against the body, so from the side they have kinda a teardrop shape. From the front they are fairly round, but they tend to naturally point out to the sides a bit, not straight forward. Uhm... *tries to think of any more tips*

      If you have a pic and you want it redlined, I'll be happy to help. But these are really broad questions you're asking.

        My final question is more of a personal choice but. When you start drawing a character what point do you usualy start on. I start at the nose, is that good?
        Thanks again

          Whatever works for you is good. Me, I start with the area around the eyes, basically the eye sockets. I'd have to show you, it's... kinda weird, I guess.

    And do you know of any place I could learn how to do wire framing for furries?
    Thanks and sorry for using this as my quesionare.

      An OC session is an online session using a freeware art program called OpenCanvas. Multiple people can draw together at the same time.

      The best form of practice is finding out what your weaknesses and failings are, and focusing on them. If your anatomy is off, study anatomy. If your linework is poor, practice lines.

      I have no idea what you mean by wire framing.

      And no prob!
