How to start drawing animals?
Im assuming it’s similar to humans, Study the anatomy and such. I see furry artists draw many different animals, do they really know the skull of each of those animals? If so thats awesome, but also sounds extremely tedious.
So do I start learning the skulls of these animals, or will I get the hang of it if I just draw a bunch of these over time?
This is my first attempt at a tiger, I don’t think it’s horrible. Tell me how to make it better!

From the sketchbook of a bloody beginner. These are my first sketches ever, any tips on what to focus? I keep jumping back and forth between things

Seeking Feedback. Are these good?
Any tips or advice?

Is the line art here okay? (Feel free to critique other things like anatomy, etc.)

Critique please
Any critique would be massively helpful to me. Do these drawings feel 'off' / uncanny

She looks a bit more masculine than I'd like but I can't find why, can anyone else see it?

Do you constantly improve your skills in drawing or slowly do it if you feel the need to?
To be precise, constantly improving your skills in drawing is when you’re getting out of your comfort zone often, and slowly doing it is when you’re mostly in you comfort zone and not getting out of it often.

Pen and ink Portrait Drawing
I’m looking for an online class to learn portrait drawing specifically in Ink. Having never utilized any paid classes or tutorials, I’m hoping to make the right decision so not to waste money/time/money. Does anyone have any good recommendations? Thanks 🤙

The squash again
Probably not worth eating so I will just keep drawing it.
