Requests!

I’ve made it my goal this year to improve my artwork. Since I quit drawing daily back in year 2001, I’ve seen the quality of my work go downhill. I’m ready to change that. Its my goal to draw for at least an hour a day (hopefully more) this year, and to turn out one drawn pic every week or so.

The kind furrs of furtopia have been sending requests my way for the last few days, and I’m grateful for that! With their help, I hope to make a noticeable improvement in my art this year. Eventually I’d even like to learn how to do colors and editing with Photoshop, but that’s still a ways down the road.

At the moment I’m working on a pic for Mazz. It’s a pic of her fursona, a folf (fox/wolf mix) Mazz has hosted several art contests in the past, the most recent that I know of would be the “Kill Mazz” contest, where she asked furrs to draw a pic of Mazz being killed creatively. After seeing the contest, and seeing some of Mazz’s art, I’ve wanted to draw her fursona for a while now. It looked like she’d be a lot of fun to draw, and so far, it has been!

The pic of Mazz that I’m doing is the first pic that I have inked in a few years, and it will be the first that I’ve colored since year 2000. I hope it doesn’t look too bad when I’m done. So far, I’m more or less satisfied with the sketch, but I see lots of room for improvement. If you’d like, you can see the pic on furtopia at (INSERT LINK). I drew Mazz with an espresso drip IV bag. I hope she doesn’t mind, after all “All your coffee belongs to Mazz” * Grins *

Up next on the request list is Fuzzle Pup and Midnight Fury. Fuzzle is a Fox, and I believe that Midnight Fury is a squirrel, but she may be a hybrid. I haven’t drawn either species as a furry, and I haven’t drawn the feral versions of either species in years, so this should be interesting. I really should ask the both of them for a little more info on their characters. Midnight did include a reference pic, so that will go a long way in helping me out. Fuzzle Pup didn’t give me a reference pic, so I will probably ask him to describe his fursona to me, and give me some info on what he likes to do etc. I look forward to doing both pics after I finish Mazz, which I think I will do tonight.
