Cover artwork for an upcoming book Lindsay Cibos and I spent the latter half of 2008 putting together for IMPACT Press. The book, titled “Draw Furries: How to Create Anthropomorphic and Fantasy Animals" is a how-to book that goes over drawing anthropomorphic and animal characters. We cover anatomy and poses, step-by-step, for feline, canine, equine, rodent and avian characters, plus coloring and backgrounds. The book also features guest art from several popular furry artists, but more on that when it gets closer to its release date. For now, I’m content to say that the project was a joy to work on, and really let me stretch out creatively.

Tracing is the most basic way of learning how to construct something. If anyone wants to trace my artwork, that's fine by me. It just means they're trying to understand how a picture was built, by rebuilding it themselves. While the book isn't about tracing, and tries to instill deeper lessons in constructing character art, I don't necessarily think that tracing is missing the point. So, the whole tracing thing doesn't bother me. :)

I wouldn't go that far! We're just artists trying to put out helpful content. :)
BTW, Draw Furries is now out and available everywhere. Check your local bookstores in the Art: How-to section or on Amazon.

I've got some stuff on our next graphic novel project, The Last of the Polar Bears. It's not anthro but it might be something you're interested in.
In fact, you may want to mention that we've started giving away a promotional postcard featuring artwork from the project. Here's the link:

You can sign up for one too. :)
I have more info up on my dA journal. Feel free to pilfer through it.

>I came to think that furries were just animalized humans, and some can be. but then i found out that most of the time they are classified as a race. i think i like this version better ^^
Different people have different ways of looking at this stuff. I'm not going to try and interfere with what people think. I'm focused on the drawing aspect, mixing animal and human traits in interesting and fun ways.

Impact books have allready produced a simmilar book on how to draw furries called "FREAKS"

Well, sure. But isn't it a given for all how-to books that it'll be about the author's techniques and knowledge? There aren't any claims in the book that it's the only way to draw.
Likewise for "select species". The book doesn't claim to cover every species. It wouldn't be possible to cover every animal in a single 128-page book.

There is the fear in this community though, that the very existence of such books mean that some authors think there is one "correct" way to draw furries, and that they will lead to copying and style stagnation. It's a high-minded goal that people who read this book will only use it for inspiration, and not as a line-by-line guide, but alas I don't most people who buy this book would use it for that. Here's hoping I'm wrong.
I saw this book at Barnes & Noble, today. At first I was ready to go into an uncontrollable rage (The last furry book I saw was the "Fursona" splatbook made by a 3rd party for Paizo's Pathfinder game, and that thing is a NIGHTMARE); however upon flipping through it you seem to have done a fair job of making an INNOCENT furry artbook! I commend you on a job well done for that, and for making a nice book with helpful anatomy tips.
