So I'm also jumping on the Art Improvement Meme bandwagon as well. I did things a little different though, so I'm posting this in two parts. Although my art improved a lot from 2003 to 2010, by that time I had a rather defined style already. Some of the more interesting stuff comes from before 2003 when my art was all over the place, so I'm posting both.

There are so many furry artists who's art I love and am so impressed with. One of the things that really got me as I looked at their memes was how young they were when they started, some as young as 11. I didn't start drawing furries until I was 21, with only a year an a half left of college. In fact, the very idea to draw cartoon characters didn't even occure to me until then, despite being a lifelong animation fan. I had no art education to speak of and have had to learn all this on my own.

To this day I still find many aspects of drawing furries very difficult. Only in the last few years have I really felt like I know what I'm doing and can draw something directly as I imagine it without improvising. I do almost everything in Photoshop now, but probably only know how to use 10% of the functions it offers.
