(Part 3) Top products from r/FurryArtSchool

Sure thing, glad I could help! You should post it again if you rework it, I'd be interested in seeing it after the changes.

As for resources:

The Loomis books are good, and free to boot: Figure Drawing for All It's Worth would be good for both anatomy and shading.

Gurney's Form Principle is great to know for shading, and his book color and light is an excellent resource for learning lighting, shading, and general color theory.

If you want to learn anatomy in more depth, something like Netter's anatomy coloring book might be good- I've been going through and copying the pages to learn the names of everything. Burne Hogarth and Bridgeman are also really good.

I also really liked ctrl+paint's Basic Photoshop Rendering for learning shading.

Well that mostly comes from practice, you do something enough (like sketching furries) and it becomes almost second nature to do it right on the first time.

You'll find the more you draw and the more you get used to your own style then you'll sketch a lot quicker and with a lot less lines. You don't need to actively try to draw with less lines, you'll just find yourself doing it after some time.

I know a lot of artists that paint and just draw a big blob as their first sketch and kinda chisel it down into a beautiful form and it leaves me so confused! But keep working and trying new things and your artwork will do wonders.

Also if you like drawing dragons then I'd recommend this book. I have a copy and when I wanted to draw some nice and unique dragons it really helped.

Force: Dynamic Life Drawing for Animators- by Mike Mattesi

Probably my favorite drawing book ever. Focusing on force and motion rather than stiff posing.

Picture This: How Pictures Work- by Molly Bang

Not really a drawing book per se, but a great book about layout and constructing an image all told with simple shapes and colors.

Figure Drawing for alls it's Worth is pretty much my bible. I'm also pretty fond of Dynamic Figure Drawing by Burne Hogarth. I've learned quite a bit from opening either book to a random page a just drawing what I see.

Too true, so many tutorials and guides seem to focus too heavily on the technical skills and not enough on the proper artistic mindset. As someone to whom art did not come naturally, this book and its early chapters focusing on getting in the proper mindset of an artist has been more valuable than most anything else I've seen. I'd love to see more of that, not just here but in tutorials in general.

First let me start with the pros.

-Pros

-Very nice simple artstyle for the characters, it's clear what the characters are doing.

Colors for the characters pleasant to look at.

-Cons

There are no backgrounds, you don't have to be detailed but you should put something more than just random colors.

The camera is always facing front which is not that interesting to read.

You should also work on anatomy especially hands.

If you want to learn more about making comics you should get this book series.
