The best way to figure out how to draw various angles of your subject is to seek out as many reference images as you can and practice practice practice.

'how to draw' books are also incredibly wonderfull when your just starting out and have trouble finding classes to attend.

I generally find myself swarmed with reference images when drawing/painting/sculpting. Another way to help is feedback as well. Try going to places like Artspots forums and the like and posting your images to get some feedback and idea's on how to improve what you have already.

I hope that helps out some sweets.

Oh the Art course will help you alot!

I find frequenting Zoo's and museums to be quite helpfull as well (if you dont mind people constantly peeking over your shoulder to see you sketching)

Live references are wonderfull, and even stuffed ones work as well, more often then not, much better then a living reference as you can usually walk around them or move to get different views and perspectives.

Quick sketches where you dont worry about detail also help ingrain into your mind the general placement of anatomy on your subject, and can be alot of fun as well when using different mediums like ink or charcoal.

Would love to see some of your work sometime.

Yes Nall, Some people view being into furs as a hobby. Some see it as a lifestyle and others use it as a escape.
