Any artistic help?

[Lucid McCloud]

I'm trying to get a feal for drawing fox n friends, and I've never actually finished a good drawing of fox. any helping tips? nothing like how to draw him. but just some helpfull tips.

BTW I'm not doing graphic design, I'm using the old pencil n paper.

A smart way to get started is to look around at various art pieces related to the subject, and decide on what kind of style you want to draw in. I'm not saying to trace off any other artist work, but they can often provide a great source of inspiration to compose your own style and pose, and provide good reference if you get stuck.

Also, since the anthros of SF is quite similar to humans in body anatomy, you can simply look up one of the thousand of various tutorials on how to draw bodies, and supplement them with tutorials like this:

I've gotten into the habit of sketching a stick figure of the character first so I can have some idea of where the limbs will be positioned based on the pose I envision for who I want to draw.  It makes drawing the actual figure much easier when it comes to anatomy.

It's also a good way to get your proportions just right before continuing with the real drawing.  It's MUCH easier to shorten or lengthen a line than it is to get to the very end just to realize that an arm is too long or something.
