Is it ok to Request a Tutorial?

You may request it, but it might be a while before you get it...

BAR-1 floats around this forum alot so if he hasn't already read this post he will eventually... You could probably note him though...

[bar1scorpio]

Yeah, I could do that pretty easily, but it'd be behind the rest of my doodling schedule, mind you... Could help for my "how to draw furries" panels, though...

How to Draw Furries (by Loki):

Step 1: Draw a people

Step 2: Add fur

Step 3: There is no step 3!

Good joke loki , but in all reality furry art is very hard , the muscle stucture and bone construction is very different let alone keeping beliveable consitancy in one's work.
doing any furry work is hard because #1 , what you are drawing has little basis in reality , and therefore no real solid refferance material .
#2 Reason is you have to set the physics of the word you construct , if you decide for example a furry creature has an ancilary muscle stucture for a tail , you had better not forget and " just tack the tail on as a continuation of the spinal column " ( furry obssesed fans will have your head for that one , let me tell you... )
#3 The joint structure has to be measured and proportioned the same way every time , this may not seem like such a big deal to someone who on a regular basis draws the human or animal form , because they are so used to pre-set proportions and dimensions but when you combine the two , one ether has to do the math and draw everything to a certain scale or just estimate and hope they "get it right the first time"....
This alone can lead to massive frustration and self doubt
For good furry art one must take all of these points into account and then comes the hard part , deciding on one's own personal style...
This alone knocks so many people out of the art field whom show such promise early on that it is rather sad
When all of these obsicales are over come then you are in the same problem I am facing...consistancy...my style in sketching is not horrific but my consistancy in all but sculpting and painting is dreadfull to say the least..
consistancy is mostly what wins fans more oft than naught and , partialy helps Bar-1's , and DarkZel's work gain such a large fan-base there "one-off" work is astounding but the consistancy of their work is what wins them the fans and praise as great artists in the comic field as a whole.
I hope this answered a few questions and will draw some attention to exactaly how hard everyone at WLP works.

Thanks for the run-down. I've actually drawn fur for several years and most furries have generally liked my work. I even wrote a brief piece on proper anthropomorphism based upon reality: citing that a half mix wouldn't come out with a cat-girl, but rather a very ugly creature that probably had the worst of both species.

Maybe I'll show you guys my furry work sometime. But I don't think I have any non-adult fur.

Loki I for one look forward to seeing your art and there is always the adult channels for airing such art... the PrOn channel being at the forefront.
