I had no one tell me how to draw, and when I had art school they were trying to teach me things that weren't applicable to me anymore. (Me and the art teacher didn't get along from the start
)
I would say to doa couple of steps (over a period of time) to learn how to draw specific things, and then later take those experiences and that knowledge to other things you haven't drawn before.
So you want to draw fox anthro's in particular? But probably later on other creatures, well, here's how I would go about it:
! ) What style are you going for? I see already tutorials how to draw Nick, a rather extremely Toony fox, but maybe you want to go more for realism, or a mix of realism and toony. Figure out what you want, and apply search results and references as such.
1) Look up reference pictures of the following: Foxes (photographs), anthro foxes (drawings), human poses you're interested in drawing. Have like 2 or more of each.
2) Look up tutorials: How to draw fox heads, how to draw anthro's, how to draw fox anthro's, and how to draw human poses. (Remember: You want to look for human poses.)
3) Practise from following tutorials, as well as trying to draw from the references. Mix it up. Not all tutorials are 'flawless', nor are all 'reference materials' flawless. So be careful when you use just one, especially if you're trying to get your own drawing style
4) This is a step you can take later, or something you can do as practise in between the other steps above: Draw from your mind, don't use references. Later, compare it to various pictures (photo's/drawings) and see if you feel you got the general idea correct on paper. Is there anything you'd change? Leave the drawing as it is and make a new one with the improvements you have in mind, so you can compare those.
When looking for an art style, as well as trying to get the anatomy down:
It's all about seeing what's similar, what's different. What would you like to change, what would you want to stay the same.
Hope this helps
