I know you just finished a video, but a video about drawing backgrounds would be so useful. Also red pandas are my favorite animals, so i loved the illustration. Edit: i just realized that perspective can be used to do that 😂

As one of the resident furries I figured I'd give a small info dump about the finer details of anthros for anyone curious. There's broadly 3 major types of anthro construction: true anthros, ferals, and Kemono. This character would fall under the Kemono construction, which is generally most popular in (and originates from) Japan, with close cultural ties to the anime art scene. This why she's giving both Sonic and Nintendo vibes, its a very popular construction style where those companies are based. Kemono's close relationship to anime (and more human construction) make it arguably much more approachable for many artist who haven't studied the dark arts much. The major difference between 'true anthros' and Kemonos largely comes down to how the head is constructed (as well as the legs sometimes), and the base design philosophy. I'm using true anthro here to refer to designs that are based on an animal that is given human characteristics (anthropomorphization), while Kemonos are arguably more a case of zoomorphism; the base construction is fundamentally human, but given animal characteristics. As for the head, true anthros generally have a head constructed more similarly to the animal they're based on, while Kemonos usually have a more human head construction with animal elements being swapped in at a few locations. The clearest separation is the muzzle: Kemonos almost always have very short simplified muzzles that don't alter the silhouette much, while true anthros have more realistic muzzles that alter the form and silhouette much more. The more subtle, though arguably more important difference, is the boxy-ness of the skull. Most mammals, and many reptiles, have fairly boxy and hard angled skulls with a mix of very pronounced features and flat planes, while humans (and birds to some extent) have more soft contours and less pronounced skull features. While there is a huge amount of variation between species and individuals, this rule holds pretty solid, and generally the only soft features come from muscle/fat/skin and fur/fluff. Because of this true anthros usually feature far more straight lines or slight curves, while Kemonos usually have more rounded/soft features. A interesting result of this is that Kemonos are almost automatically cute, and often feminine, while anthros are often inherently more masculine and read as adult. It's pretty interesting how people manage to feminize anthros especially (eyelashes, blush, big fluff, aggressively feminine body, and softer ears are common methods). Also very glad to hear you've escaped corpo world, here's to hoping you remain free from it.

This is amazing this is going to help me out a lot Thanks so much. Great drawing "Wish one day I'll draw like you 😅😅. Great masterpiece

Great video! That panda came out really cute. I notice you aren't much used to anthro characters, so check out one artist called Twokinds, he draws more anime like characters I think you will like it for some inspiration. If you end up making a video about anthro characters design will be very nice as well.

Great video as always.. Sensei, could you do a video about using the 3D models in clip studio paint and sketchup or any other architectural software like blender to help draw comics or manga... it would help out a lot for those of us who want to start making comics but can't draw yet

Instructions unclear, became suspiciously wealthy!

I really love the piece, it looks wonderful! ❤ Also, i'd really love a background vid if possible of course, it would really come in handy at the time 🤭 Anyways, great work, keep it up! 💪🏽

Man has taste. Sonic music is the best!

I have a confession to make. Sometimes I just put the videos on in the background for your voice. It's actually very calming to listen to, rather similar to that of Matt Rhodes from Bioware.

There's so much detail and theory packed into this one video about perspective. I need to rewatch it because I was so focused on your drawing that I missed some valuable information. Thank you again for sharing such an insightful video!

An idea to include for another perspective video would be accounting for scale when using character head heights, for example two characters who are 6-7 head heights in proportion but ones shorter

Subarashiiiiiiiii

Can you make videos focused on how to draw arms and legs?

These vids have been super helpful over this year, perspective is the big hurdle x.x

How do you know where to put the vanishing point off the canvas to get a certain perspective, or do you just place it really far away on intuition and feeling

Lines sir, i understand the theory and everything, but i can't seem to apply it to my work

ngl am 100precent afriad to use prespectiv in my skecthes becuase i awlays messuop tahnkyuo agian fro teh new tutorial uplaods ❤️✨

I for one appreciate the soppy stuff. Cheers to finding a path away from corporate!

Lines I just want to say thank you, you genuinely helped me improve my art more than any creator I've watched

Im taking wayyy too much time attempting to learn the basics of feet, not even hands were this hard xD Time to Draw an uncanny amount of feet and see if i can learn

Can you make a video on how to make stuff glow, like something with an energy aura?

Watching your classes from Brasil, Huge Fan

19:15 ":references on school girl uniforms are not as accurate as you want, their more..........their not accurate, lets that", i can fking hear the smile XD🤣

I have a question. Does using perspective rulers (i.e the ones in CSP) defeat the whole purpose of the skill? Because if I'm using a ruler, am I really training my eye or arm for drawing proper perspective? Btw, awesome artwork!

Foreshortening is great

Can u curve the grading so I can pass the class?

I love your lessons Sensei!!!!💪🥰

I am second

I feel like perspective (at least for me) is one of the harder parts of art to get down. Thanks for the vids! I can't keep readjusting my work 😭

got here in 1 minute lol also love the videos, they help quite a lot

i hate my self, but first

First here?

God i wish i hade a tablet. It makes the whole sketching part alot easier. No worries of muding the drawing or leaving Ugly lines after. Just remove the sketch lare and boom. 😢 I am doing all my art traditionally and i am soo stiff and press so hard on the paper i just cant get this bad habit out of my system. 😢

I've watched 22:04 on x0,25 speed to see if I had a vision or something ahahah ((great video as always))

Бро, я обожаю твой стиль:)

whos that red panda girl?

Great Tips✨ I'm also learning foreshortening right now.

First class with you & despite my sketches & line art being...subpar, these guidelines were so useful! thank for all the work you've been putting in on all your content(not just on youtube). Joining the discord now, watch me blow through all the classes & homework & catch up🔥💪

What is that sketcher you use in all your videos

I can't stop watching at minute 22:40, it's incredible how you do the perspective of the place and the character in that place... I would never have thought of it with a rectangle like that.

beautiful goblin, great tutorial, love your videos.( i should probably draw myself too though.)

Bless your soul

wonderful as always i am going to try some perspective studies using these techniques, cant wait for pt 2!

I'm surprised about the fact that the anatomy can be measured on thirds, it's very cool

Plz ........Do a Video On Colouring and rendering 😢

Thank you Gurujii 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍

Easily one of the most important videos dropped

Great tutorial,

Do you think you could make a video showing good drawing exercises to do? Like exercises to improve at line control and such.

GOATED! Thank you for coming to my ted talk. But for real I think this was the actual final piece I needed, thnx as always sensei.
