Welcome! May not be the most helpful advice out there but for your drawing - practise. Being able to create smoother, cleaner lines and touch up on your shading skills etc. can make so much difference and what else may be useful is to pose stick figures, this way you're getting a better understanding of how poses work and again, if the pose looks natural it does wonders for your work so I suggest doing that with looking into and practising new techniques and developing your own personal drawing style.

Wulf is not an admin. I am though. :P

Welcome to the forums. If you're going to post drawings and such I recommend uploading them to Photobucket or something like that and then linking to them.

There's also an artwork board you can use to show your drawings: http://www.thefurryforum.com/forums/index.php?board=62.0

Yay! A fellow artist! :)
I love seeing artist around, and looking at their art. :)

Ummm. His torso looks a bit long, but that's a really good start (Better than how I started out. :P)

Welcomes to the FF, and I hope you have a good stay! :)

I'd say to work on drawing, on a general rule of thumb I'd have to say:

1. Always work on anatomy.  Even if you're really good, everyone can always use some practice on it.  Draw people from other pictures, draw pictures of your friends, draw pictures of random people in the mall/class/anywhere really.  Because anthro characters have a very human body base (most of the time) it's helpful to work on humans.  As far as animal faces and such?  Look up the skeletal structure of the animal(s) you are working from.  This will give you a base to work with but room to play around.

2.  Even if you think it sucks, follow it through anyway.  Even if you never post it, or just throw it out, you always have the practice.  No one gets anywhere by limiting themselves (I just discovered this the other day.  It was pretty enlightening.)

3.  Draw that stick figure stuff people are talking about.  Just light, in pencil so it doesn't show through your finished work.  It works out well, it's just difficult to grab at first.  Here is an example:

http://s83.photobucket.com/albums/j288/fragmentedminds/?action=view&current=091908.jpg

I progression pieces on how to work with stick figure sketchiness.  I'm not going to hijack your thread, but you're welcome to PM me if interested.
