Fursona Speedpaint: Haters Be Hatin'

[@3passw0rd3]

I haven't looked at this video in YEARS, and I really never looked at the comments, since I was a kid when I uploaded this and never realized the impact it's had on people; heck I figured nearly no one would ever see it. Here I am, 9 years later, nearly crying at the out crying love and support down below. You guys have made my day and made me realize that I have made an impact on someone out there. I thank you all for commenting below and I'm cheering everyone I inspired to draw with this video good luck in their artistic journeys! If you want to see what I'm doing now, check me out here: -www.deviantart.com/slugg-o -twitter.com/SluggoArt

[@stripes1043]

you’re awesome and your art is too

[@stormie5809]

came back to some of my old favorite videos from when i was a kid to enjoy the nostalgia and happen to stumble across this comment!! i was 11 when i first watched this - im 21 now. just so you know, this video deeply influenced and inspired my art and still does to this day

[@intro8809]

😁😁😁

[@mourningdewdles]

i just came back to this for funsies and to feel nostalgic again and I’m so glad youre hearing how important this speedpaint was. I’d like to toss in that i watched this for the first time around when i was 8 and a decade later im attending art school while I still think back to this speedpaint Often. I also have you to thank for a good portion of my music taste. thank you for all youve put out into the world!

[@limphima9167]

I still think about this video from time to time, it is a video that really got me into drawing, and I would like to thank the creator for that. Keep up the amazing work!

[@snoodl]

same

[@ginashultz1233]

Art like this is highly appreciated by many for it's quality, regardless of the species.. It's beautiful, really. The colors, shading, lines, style;; it all falls in line just great. I don't see what the problem is here. Artists are *_not_* doing their art just to please you, alone. They make the art that they can fall in love with, so other people like them can enjoy it too. An artist should never be afraid to draw what they love. Not all art caters to you, alone. Everyone likes they're own thing.

[@Jax-xw3hl]

I wish everyone saw art like that. I think more than 70% are hate comments!

[@ginashultz1233]

Lil Miss Nerd (Late reply on my part) Exactly, I'd be willing to bet most of these hate comments are just jealous, young kids who don't fully understand the concept of art yet.

[@colorfulpup87]

Gina Shultz Yeah I really like drawing when I'm bored or in class. But not to sell it away unless I want to.

[@nickcorvus7524]

*sees people talking about hate comments* *sees no hate comments* ...What?

[@maybedifferences8561]

lol same

[@starflayers]

yeahhhh I advise you don't XD

[@Creggus]

People hear the word "Fursona" and they instantly think "Furry". But not all people who have "Fursonas" are Furries. Fursona's could be Anthro, or they could just be dogs/cats/wolves/foxes that are recolored, and are drawn often. Abit like 'Original Characters'. A 'Fursona' IS the person/artist as an animal. But, that does _not_ make them Furries.

[@Beepvoid]

The hero we need, but don't deserve.

[@taillesshalo8373]

If you have a fursona you're a furry, if you aren't a furry but have an anthro character then it's just that, an anthro character

[@gabrxael]

Tailo Halo *ahem, a fursona IS an anthro character. You don’t need to be a furry to have an anthro character, so you don’t need to be a furry to have an anthro character.

[@SSquidFishh0]

@@gabrxael that is literally what they said..

[@SSquidFishh0]

Hey! I know this comment is super old.. but you're wrong. A fursona is a character (that isnt JUST a wolf/cat/fox etc.) That represents that person. You could have an anthro character, but not be a furry, but you cant have a fursona and not be a furry. That isnt how it works.

[@linsumm4311]

I can't stop listening to the first song XD

[@aba-faith6846]

Sketch Artist OMG same with the second song for me.

[@mattroseen441]

+Sketch Artist me too I just listen to it for hours while watching this , I think this speedpaint is good :)

[@linsumm4311]

No but really :) It's an amazing speedpaint...

[@scientificallyfailed8371]

Yeah and his name is SECRET SE CRET THAT DOESN'T MATCH THE SONG

[@dfae5638]

i cant stop listening to it too i cant stop listening to the 2nd one aswell there both catchy

[@heartdeguzman5611]

Is it unusual that I watch this daily?

[@stancurry5265]

i do it too. it shouldn't be tooooooooooo weird.

[@heartdeguzman5611]

I've been watching this straight for either a year or more

[@RP-om4md]

Heart Graceffa nO BECAUSE I DO TOO

[@bluerabbit4010]

Me too man. For about over a year now.

[@heartdeguzman5611]

Sierra Taylor OMG SAME

[@bellbottomss]

This is really good, I love the art style, the pose is great, the music fits, because it's awesome! And over all very well done! 😄

[@bellbottomss]

And furries are people who dress as animals not an animal OC.

[@skittlesthefurry2162]

GingaNinjaDoesStuff I'm a furry

[@bellbottomss]

The Wolf Eye oh.

[@badbandit9000]

GingaNinjaDoesStuff can i be possibly a furry penguin? u never see those.

[@bellbottomss]

Xx_Lancer_xX.... yes.

[@xxspikeztransformicejaylyn7025]

Dudes you need to stop making fun of this drawing, it's awesome. And l really like the first song.

[@xxspikeztransformicejaylyn7025]

MMHMM sure you do :).

[@xxspikeztransformicejaylyn7025]

Yeah hahaha XD. ):D

[@IllegalIcons]

The character is so adorable, the art is amazing, and the music fits the art entirely! Outstanding work!~ This comment section needs more love c:

[@capdown]

watched this when I was young to art, so glad I remembered this because of where it got me.

[@benjaminluke9903]

This is one of my all time favourite videos on KZbin. I first saw this shorty after it was posted almost 6 years ago, and I keep coming back to it. It makes me feel inspired and positive about myself and about life. Thank you for this.

[@carolinehamilton7345]

Damn I wonder how much you've improved over 6 years this was amazing I can't imagine

[@Goose_loose420]

Call this nostalgia at this point, i remember watching this when it came up and haven't since today...still holds up❤

[@CherrySpiiced8]

The stupidity of some people -_- This is a wonderful drawing and I see comments like, "You're wasting your time drawing furry stuff" or, "This looks like a rainbow threw up on it" 1st of all.. Art is pictured different ways for people, it is THEIR choice what people do with their art, NOT yours. People make money for drawing these kinds of things for people. 2nd.. Who cares what the color scheme of his/her fursona is?! It is HER/HIS fursona and they decide was color they are. They decide what they look like not you, and if you don't like it, sucks for you because others do. 3rd.. LOOK AT THE TITLE.

[@Corriethosaurus]

Man, I used to watch this video so many times back in 5th-6th grade, such a huge artistic inspiration. Was in a nostalgic mood and found this again, still love it!!

[@skyflower8997]

this fursona is so cute

[@breedabIe]

Your art style is too mind-blowing.. ;w;

[@grace0731]

There is no way this is 10 years old T--T This is one of the speedpaints I think of when I think back in time

[@Ponipi]

i feel u bro

[@brighteyeddizzy]

everything about this speed paint is amazing! the song, the oc, the anatomy, the line art, the face, AHG I LOVE THIS!

[@kianastaples7492]

Usually I don't like fursona drawings, but I REALLLYYYYY love this character design.

[@sirwoofers3578]

This was the speedpaint that started my entire drawing career so thank you ^^

[@silverfangscorner260]

The 30+ people who disliked this were probs falling asleep meant to click the like button but fell asleep and their browser closed and they couldn't find th e vid in their like and never found the video again.

[@joshiegieBronyGamer]

+SilverFang's Corner Or maybe its the people who hate furries and they disliked the video without hesitation just because they hate furries :P

[@silverfangscorner260]

joshiegie I'm tryin to have a fun time D:

[@joshiegieBronyGamer]

SilverFang's Corner Oh, in that case I said nothing :3

[@silverfangscorner260]

joshiegie lol okay

[@silverfangscorner260]

***** wha?

[@revilo967]

God memories man, I used to watch all of these speed paints when I first got into art

[@PinkPearl101]

It's amazing how people can draw so well. You'd think it'd be as easy as looking at something and being able to draw it. Well, at least I can draw a circle.

[@capriciousqueer7501]

+weensie101 circles are bootiful

[@mischamahuna725]

I can draw fursonas it's just... I always mess up on anatomy and coloring

[@myuuwi]

Just letting you know that when I first saw this your art definitely had a major impact on my style, back again what 6 years later to say this is still awesome :)

[@OpalsRealm]

Woah...I have just found my newest inspiration...you are awesome!! Definitely going to watch you on dA!!

[@KizodaDraws]

This is the best speedpaint of a fursona I think I have ever seen x3 you're very talented ;0;

[@issyaboi5620]

[@katklubxd3091]

[@cerinefalls5761]

[@tigerstrike7]

[@Ash-gj8jt]

Your art style is amazing and you did wonderfully. Ignore the losers who think making fun of people is cool. Your really talented and I like your fursona!

[@phaedreams]

[@qorrid5485]

people dont understand. art takes a long long time and a lot of effort. this is a very good drawing! just because you dont favor the style there is no need to hate this person's hard work and effort.

[@harper9106]

The first song is my life I need to stop replaying his xDDDD

[@minal564]

ILY the first song... I heard it a lot of times... I thought it really explains my life XD also, your so talented...

[@phaedreams]

LOL oh my gosh I love everything about this, the music the art, the title, Oh my gosh this is just hands down AWESOME!!! XD

[@sarahann2701]

the song cheered me up

[@wolfiepurpleexe9889]

im not dancing im not drinking at a bar im sitting on my bed binge watching youtube videos at 2 am

[@BarkStudios12]

very very very cute and awesome artwork and choice of songs

[@GreedyHealer]

I'm not a furry or anything, but whenever I come across these sorts of speedpaints, I sit in awe at the anatomy and colorful artwork. Plus, the characters are actually pretty cute. :3

[@brookedixie848]

when a canine walks shouldn't the back legs be going in the opposite direction as the front legs? like since the left front leg was up, then the right front leg should be up as well? anyways, amazing drawing.

[@AxelMejia44]

thanks to this video I started to take art more seriously and maked me study more about it, thanks!

[@emodraws6523]

Anyone else here 7 years later?

[@stuff1295]

This is amazing! Great job! The shading is perfect, your artstyle is just beautiful and your fursona is... omg!

[@emilyglass3187]

[@stacyelaines1096]

Wow...... This is amazing, I wish I could do anything good on a computer! The music and pose go perfectly together, and I've never heard of fursona, but this is an amazing piece of art!

[@RainbowPandaAJ]

99.9% of the comments: *insert what the comments are about here*

How on earth do you make your line art so clean

[@SniccSnacks]

[@KibaDaWolf]

I can only draw like that with paper and pencil why is it hard to draw with a computer. :(

[@kloncey]

Rlly..? I draw on the mac with a mouse >:c.. This person draws with a tablet (most likely)

[@venusaarai9543]

If you are really interested in art,you should buy Wacom Tablet.

[@kloncey]

Venus Aarai I might buy the wacom tablet but I got used to a mouse now, I am starting to draw really well with a mouse but I will buy a wacom tablet soon •3•

[@venusaarai9543]

This is good,because it's hard to draw with a mouse...Well i hope you will get your wacom soon C:

[@kloncey]

Venus Aarai :3 Ty!!!!

[@akintoaster5991]

idk if you still get on YT to check comments but this was the speedpaint that around two years really inspired me to draw wolves so yea. thanks dude, ya did a good xD

[@koshokitty3141]

I love furies plus it reminds me of animal jam and fursuits XD

[@sealine22aj]

it's not a furry, it's a fursona which means a furry, anthro or normal animal oc. in this case it's a normal animal oc

[@al3583]

KoshoKitty I know know your comment is old but I love animal jam bro. If you see this buddy me. Im hophophop128. Lol XD (Edit) if you still play animal jam that is... 😶 😅

[@manaalelghouati]

i remember watching this in 2015 :( the best years of my life

[@michi911]

When you watch 3 years later..

[@acelynn4166]

I remember seeing this video a few years ago when already loving art and drawing and omgg I love the song, the colors, just everyhlthing about it. I know it's been 8 years but I hope you keep it up this is such an inspiration 💖💛❤

[@alecksjaymesstan3478]

Omg... I saw this video one year and a couple months ago.. Dang, I e been a furry ever since. Thank you all.

The following quote is my life "If you like this, its because my little sister wrote it"

This is exactly my life...

[@koshokitty3141]

Meh too XD

[@pnkcinder]

Wow, Your simple sketch (which I might add was AMAZIN), into such detail! So bootyful!

[@wesbluemarin3946]

I didn't know drawing animals meant you were a furry?

[@patinawindwirth1425]

It doesn't

[@wesbluemarin3946]

+Patina windwirth I know, I'm a furry but not a yiffer, and this DOES NOT mean you're a furry. So by the anti furrys definition, that one time you doodled a random animal in fourth grade meant you were a furry?

[@wesbluemarin3946]

+Pusheen! :3 no no I know this, but the anti furries don't, and aren't willing to understand, like I said, By THEIR definition, not mine. They think this is a random animal from what I've seen. this person probably is a furry, I wouldn't know,, I'm really tired right now I'll follow up later XD

[@wesbluemarin3946]

+Pusheen! :3 nah its fine

[@capriciousqueer7501]

+Stitch Cat I have no idea but I died when you said anti furry XD I myself am a furry I have a fursuit (DO NOT QUOTE ME ON THAT NOT SAYING YOU GOTTA HAVE A FURSUIT TO BE A FURRY JUST SAYING I HAVE ONE)
