How to Draw (furry heads)

[lhbeau1]

... tablets are also for people without autosmooth.

[ThexNOOBTUBEx]

isnt drawing supposed to be on paper?????

[RaccoonFox186]

@ThexNOOBTUBEx If you are conservative, then yes.

[meekorightnow]

Thank you so much sir!

[LegendaryWatermelon]

[Mrtips514]

Thank you so much!!! I am not the best artiest out their and furry have always been hard for me but now i know the basics and have made my first full furry character

[IEatedYourMuffin]

thanks a bunch i'm making a character named Ally, a fox mixed with a chiwawa... or something like that. but anyway thanks this helped alot!

[JohnMarshton777]

is it still considered a fursona if its just the head not the whole furry

[LegendaryWatermelon]

@JohnMarshton777 A fursona is a furry representation of yourself, whereas my drawings are just my characters from a comic I do (Link's in my profile). If what you draw a head of is what you consider you as a furry, then yes

[SPValkyrie]

The fursona I'm trying to make...has no references I can look to (at least not any that tickle my fancy).

Could ya make a female ram with fluffy wool of unimaginable fluff? Or rather a sheep with horns, if that'd make things easier? Yeah, animal hermaphroditism. I like wool, and I like horns. But I can't get it right no matter how often I try.

[Sparklykitten135]

OMG MINE LOOKS LIKE A RETARDED GIRAFFE ON CRACK! FUCK MY LIIIFE! I CANT DRAWWW FUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!

[skinnyshit8888]

@Sparklykitten135 i feel your pain. with practice, we can darw furries like CHAMPS!

[Sparklykitten135]

@skinnyshit8888 =/ ussually i make little commics with my cat characters (Tasha and Abbey!)

[skinnyshit8888]

@Sparklykitten135 i'm just trying to create my own persona fox right now.

[flamepelt393]

Is Adobe Flash the only program that can makes lines smooth like that?

[atomman45]

Does anyone know anyother programs like this, because i cant afford to buy this for 500$

[LegendaryWatermelon]

@atomman45 For animation or lovely autosmooth, you're SOL, but there are a handful that are free for drawing such as GIMP, OpenOffice's Draw (kind of), and openCanvas v1.1

[GradyLWilliams]

@atomman45

pencil and paper

[MarkP0rter]

you are surprised by all the retarded comments you got? well this video is aimed towards furries so it shouldn't surprise you :)

[LegendaryWatermelon]

@heresapuppy7 You use the tools you're given~

If you doubt my actual skill, check out my webcomic (website link in my profile), this stuff is outdated anyway

[AnutherRogue]

I really don't think you need to draw to be a furry lol

[XxxJakecw97xxX]

How do you do that auto correct thingy in photoshop , i can only do it in flash 8 but whenever i draw in flash 8 it always turns out tiny :(, So i wanna do the auto correct in photoshop cuz its more familiar to me

[LegendaryWatermelon]

@XxxJakecw97xxX Tough cookies, Photoshop is bitmap based whereas Flash is vector based. Check google if you don't know what those mean. Either learn and love the pen tool, or work at something ridiculous like 1000 dpi so when you lower to web size (about 72dpi) you can't even see the imperfections in your line work

[XxxJakecw97xxX]

@LegendaryWatermelon But how doesit do it in your vid and you said your using cs4 >>

[LegendaryWatermelon]

@XxxJakecw97xxX Yes, CS4 = Creative Suite 4, it encompasses all of Adobe's products from Photoshop CS4 to Flash CS4 to Encore CS4, to AfterEffects CS4, etc.

[xsbit890]

Pretty good man! I want to make my own furry personal character.

[ShadowZero1357]

Ok dude is you a furry?....your good at drawing THOSE now....alll you need is a fursuit XD

[XruncloudX]

Do you take requests? i want to become a furry but i SUCK at drawing i could subscribe in return or something

[thelaserninja]

great tutorial! thanks for helping me make my very first anthro drawing! now, can you make a tutorial for the full drawing?

[omegasXLR]

is it easier for u to draw on the computer or on paper? jus wondering cuz im see in alot of people using programs instead of just paper

[CpWiser10]

Very good :)

[gam3zrolf]

lol insta colour go! lol didnt expect that.

[flamingWYVERN01]

dude... im gonna be honest, i may not be the best fucking artist out there but u suck... ur drawing looked amazing, but you have a bad technique, u should look up more anatomy and try a different way of drawing heads and eyes to seem more realistic, that style of manga drawing is so old, and if u try more techniques, i think it be really good for a learning experience for u :) sorry for being a douche about that XD

[LegendaryWatermelon]

@flamingWYVERN01 That's the problem with good criticism, 90% of people take it as one person being an ass and ignore it and don't improve as much as they can. Luckily I'm part of the other 10%~

I have obviously improved a fair bit since this video seeing as it's 11 months old as of now, but it's meant to be a little on the stylized side. Most peeps come to Youtube for an intro sort of thing, and if you throw alot of advanced stuff at them, they'll get confused and give up before they start

[griffin0045]

what drawing program did you use , and can i get it onlie for free

[megadan429]

how did you get the instant color to work?

[HAYSpyroCOD6LovRZ16]

lol insta color

[evilceel]

@evilceel my bad comment withdrawn lol to be fair i cant find my glasses when im wearing them

[wsprog]

awesome vid man, but tablets arnt expensive, a wamco bamboo is just 70 and it comes with photoshop pro :)

[ekkkkkknoes]

@wsprog I found also some tablets for 40$ or lower!

[kamehameha559]

your character looks freaking AWESOME!!!

[marsvin55]

awsome what program are u using and how to torn on the thing so if u draw a circle and it bacomes more shaped, or how i shall explain it =P

[LegendaryWatermelon]

@marsvin55 Like I've said 5 million times in both the video and other replies, I use Adobe Flash CS4

It's called autosmoothing, and it's a brush setting in Flash. It's in the properties window and you just slide it anywhere from 0 to 100

[Jerros666]

Awesome!

Where did you get CS4?

It's not freeware...

[darkfreddie10]

I like the smoothness of your brush and its not all pixely, i wonder fi you can do that in photoshop? Because I really hate the pixels when I draw on my computer.

[LegendaryWatermelon]

@darkfreddie10 You CAN, but it's a much bigger job. Flash uses vectors, Photoshop uses bitmap. Basically vectors are mathematical formulas, and bitmaps are pixels forming a pic. If you use the pen tool in Photoshop, you can create smooth lines using vectors, but it's more trouble than it's worth to me

[darkfreddie10]

@LegendaryWatermelon Thanks for the info, now I'll just have to look out for flash.

[ski2985]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[tenpinbowl12]

furrys are cool :3

[Rididely360]

Thanks! Couldnt Get A Good Method To Draw.

[TheLynxie]

I got CS4 and I cannot find out how to get the line softening. Is it tablet thing? Cause I use a mouse.

[1Flahk1]

I just can't seem to understand the whole hair thingy on the cheeks D:

[WolfWhispersxoxo]

oh wow the lines fix themselves 0-o only if only mine did that... x.x

[rikalika123]

Thanks!!

[MugsM8]

How did you get the lines to do that?

Like they corrected themselves when you draw scruffy. So they look good.

PLEASE tell me. I've been trying to figure it out.......

[FlashSketch]

@MugsM8 Get Macromedia Flash

The brush tool dose that :D

It's awsome

[1Flahk1]

@FlashSketch Is that free? If so then download link plox?

[PyroCrumpet]

@1Flahk1 Try the pirate bay thats where i got mine

[1Flahk1]

@PyroCrumpet Pirated? NO

[TheEvisgod]

man ii love the program you used to make this. I cant download any of this so i have to stick with terrible paint programs on my labtop =/.

[flames254]

I watched this twice. I love it! but... when I try, I just can't get Adobe Flash to do what you are doing in this video. :( How DO you do it?

[LegendaryWatermelon]

@flames254 I explained everything didn't I? ;A;

I use CS4, so things might be a little different if you use a different one, but it should still be roughly the same. 2 layers in the timeline, 100 smoothing brush, and black/grey colours

[flames254]

@LegendaryWatermelon Don't worry about it... I'm gonna just stick to pencils for now lol! ;)

[001assassins]

@LegendaryWatermelon Thank you, LegendaryWatermelon! This help me a lot. Made it seem easy for me. I just couldn't understand the basic princibles of drawwing a furry, but this cleared it up for me. Your commentary was pretty funny too!

[ShadoWolf800]

Hey!

I'm not a weenie! Not with this messed up ball mouse anyway. XD

Waaay easier with my tablet than that glitchy thing!

All joking aside, nice vid. It helped me a bit more, all I need is practice now... Keep up the good work! :)

[danieeel31]

I can't do it.. xD

[MrLaslegos]

what program do u use?

[LegendaryWatermelon]

@MrLaslegos Adobe Flash CS4
