13 years ago
Name: Insangu
Age: ~25
Gender: Male
Height: ~ 6'1'' / 185.5 cm
Weight: ~ 210 lbs / 95.3 kg / 15 st
Species: Lion x Cape Hunting Dog
His father comes from a fairly wealthy Nigerian Yoruba family, his mother is a dancer & model. His father in the end was persuaded to make a more desirable marriage, while his mother remained quiet about the affair in exchange for a generous pension. Insangu blew (or 'invested') a significant part of his inheritance on a chlorophyll-induction gene therapy, giving him his distinct exotic colouration as well as increased stamina & a reduced need to eat - he can happily get by for a few weeks on water and a little meat. He lives off a mix of generous charm & inherited glamour; he has enough of his mother's looks and his father's money to make a splash in big city nightlife. He's worked as a bartender, a model, a personal assistant, danced in a few minor productions...a classic dilettante.

I feel like a bit of a dunce because I first invented Insangu while relatively isolated & not paying a huge amount of attention to the anthro fan community. The beautiful patterns of a cape hunting dog just beg to be colour-shifted, so "What will be a super unique amazing colour for my character!?" I thought. Of course there are a swathe of people who re-tinted wildlife to green earlier and better than I have! Also I 'coloured' this with a laptop trackpad, which as you can see is not to be recommended.

Obviously you have specific interests that you get at & engage with by drawing, but for me personally how something is drawn is often at least as interesting as what is drawn. I think it's fair to say you don't have a lot of technical ability at drawing at the moment, and that gets in the way of me enjoying your gallery. I'm not naturally gifted at drawing, I still don't feel particularly confident at drawing and I have been practicing for about 10 years. I have learned largely by copying & adapting images from drawing textbooks & manuals. I don't publish those copied drawings anywhere, I treat them like an author treats his essays from primary school.
Since it's often easiest to start with one book, I would recommend the Vilppu Drawing Manual by Greg Villpu, which you can find as a .pdf online for free if you look around a bit, or buy here. If you spend a few months copying from a book like that, going through page by page until your drawing looks like what is in the book, then you will probably get a lot better at drawing, and enjoy drawing a lot more. Looking at blogs like http://blog.drawn.ca/ will help you see a lot of the different approaches people take to making good & effective drawings. Though they look very different, many of them build those approaches on a strong understanding of the basic principles of drawing that people like Vilppu discuss.
