Hey everyone

In category: Art Talk

I'm from Poland and i'm interesting about furry my first contact with this art was when i had 16 years old. Soon i want to show my first art. If somebody wants to share with clue to make better art i wait for him.


Well e621 certainly isn't shy about offering constructive criticism.

or ANY criticism, for that matter XD


Post it and ask for critique in a comment below the post, and hopefully someone (like me) will see it and critique it.

Be forewarned though. People here tend to say what they want to say about it and not hold anything back.

Indeed. I was just telling another user the other day, this site's comments are "not curated". Hopefully you receive constructive feedback. It's only fair to warn you, however: that isn't always the case. :/


Just a suggestion but DeviantArt and FurAffinity might be better places to start, e621 has this rule against sub-quality artwork and well... oftentimes when beginning artists upload their stuff for critiquing it gets deleted because of that. DA and FA have no such rules.

http://e621.net/forum/show/33068 this seems to invalidate your comment. I asked straight up if this was a site that was restricted to quality artwork and not crap I got an overall no but furries are preferred yet humans usually get deleted.


I draw only furries. Sometimes i draw my own idea or i takes few arts to make one art. I try to change the most i can but always ask another before upload. So if somebody wants saw my arts (i finished second art) give me mail

Yeah.

Oh look, modbaiting.


It's called standards, guys. If you want to see abysmal artwork from brand-new inexperienced artists, go to FA.

I dont recall irrelevancy a standard.
unless poorly drawn or overused meme/flamebait.


The topic of this site is furry art. If it's not furry, it's off-topic. Arguing with the admins when they delete non-furry art just because they sometimes approve non-furry art is like arguing with a police officer that they shouldn't give you a speeding ticket because another squad car was there just the other day and let you drive right on by at the same speed.

this is not a Furry Exclusive image archive

Quoting an admin out of context? Not only that, but quoting a sentence fragment out of context to twist it to your interpretation? For shame, Mario. Celestia intended that to discourage users from flagging images with the reason "not furry".

Off-topic images and any potential fallout from posting them are subject to the whims of the moderators.

While it might be useful to bring these two snippets of text closer to each other for clarity's sake, they are pretty much unambiguous.

What on earth led you to believe I was talking about you? I don't even know who you are.


I got question about tools wich more artists used here. I makes sketch and than used gimp. Somebody knows better solution ?

If by tools do you mean computer programs people prefer art to be coloured in? My best guess is most use a mixture of Corel Paint, Adobe Photoshop, and Gimp. Few seem to use traditional art which can get more negative votes easier.

I've just seen many use Paint Shop Sal/Coral Paint? and Photoshop.
