I'm trying to break the habit of just going over lines again and again instead of actually working on the drawing. 2 hours just for this because I keep doing that and making smaller doodles on the side.

Does anyone have any resources on how to draw/colour fur in ibispaintx or how to shade fur? I feel like both could definitely be a lot better.

Anon09/08/26, 00:26No.85196285
Okay, time for me to bump his general again. I see how this place is in a sorry state without me.But jokes aside, I have a bad bad art block. I have not drawn anything since my last post which was probably like a month ago. If won't start again soon I will likely not post ever again so I will do it now because I'm self aware enough to recognize how I will act. I used to tell myself that I will die when I don't draw every single day, that's how I started out here Now I feel I will actually die, or more like a part that I manifested in myself will. So even if this is bearing the deadest of horses I will start with my muse again.And hey that one anon, fuck you in advance
