That's why i suck at drawing, i prefer to look at other's drawings than do them myself!

I'd probably get more things done if I didn't spend so much time looking at other people's work, or if I wasn't so lazy.

PC Gaming takes too much of my time -_-
And I get easily frustrated over my poor skill/knowledge of human anatomy and hands... stupid hands...
But yeah you have a point.
Are you going to war guilds with me?
Yep, that takes time. But it is a good time.
Also, i didn't know there was a 2.
What happened to your avatar ?

I wasn't aware there was a first one.
It's pretty good, it also features Ritsu's brother Satoshi.

It's about all he's good for.

Is this some sort of stealth advertisement for this
H-
I'm not advertising anything. Just stating my surprise that there is a second one!

The best ones are the ones with only the girls.
Stealth?
Wait, why are we talking about doujins again?
men just get in the way of true love
Nice work!
Reminds me of the group character sketches I did for shows like Sailor Moon, Angel Tales, ROD TV, Haibane Renmei, and Maburaho.
You are right, let's go back to talking about your drawings. So, how about them Mio x Ritsu drawings ?

Group pictures are one of my favorite things to draw.
Wahaha~!
If I had any worth showing, I'd post it here.

So that's where all those Pokemon trainer avatars came from! I feel like this thread is slowly revealing the underbelly of GAF.
I can understand why some would like that, but it just seems like its far too blatant.

I try to mix it up a little. I have not abandoned my love for Tsumiki though.
She's way too cute.
I've never really understood this perspective. I feel like it should be a good thing when an artist designs something to be cute and I think it's cute. Am I misunderstanding something?

Yeah, I drew all those a while back going off an idea Gravijah gave me, and it evolved into a PokeGAF group avatar thing. Fun times.
Gravijah first said they should be drawn chibi, but I said nuts to that. It was also originally going to only be the main 5 girls, but with some people fighting over who got Yui and feeling others wanted to be included, I went and did the expanded cast as well.
Use references. And always start off lightly with guide lines and shapes so you can erase and change things easily. The one thing that bugged me the most as a kid would be drawing something and trying to erase something but to find out I was drawing to hard and the line really never goes away.
I'm not a very good teacher, but if you need any more help, I'll try to be more useful.

What references do you suggest (preferbally that of online)?
And on an unrelated note, we have outgrown Furry GAF (or dicuss more anyway)

Anything relevant to what you want to draw. Say you're having a tough time drawing a hand in a certain way. Just look up pictures of hands like that, be they real photos or drawings by other people. You could even use yourself as a reference as you look in a mirror. Not everything has to originate from your head.
We passed them up a while ago. K-ON! > Furries

It's all relative. I think the problem I have in most cases, is that I feel inclined to resent a character if it is designed with that express purpose. If its a byproduct of being an endearing, or generally well-written creation, fine. But if you stick a character in front of me, one which has clearly being subjected to a checklist of what constitutes cute design, in order to illicit that response. Nope.
Maybe that's just me, but I can't ignore it. Truth be told, I'm probably being incredibly naive about the whole thing.

I did scan the sketch, but my scanner decided to be difficult today and cut off a portion on the side. Oh well, you already know what it looks like anyways.
