Hello! Questions
« on: March 21, 2017, 10:31:53 PM »
Hello everyone, I just joined recently and I am new to the whole furry stuff but I was really interested in it, and therefore I decided to make this forum account to chat with the community as I have a lot of questions.


First of all, can someone help me draw my fursona? I am willing to get it done as whatever animal, and I don't expect any of you to draw it for me but do you guys know of any tips to drawing one? I myself don't draw much, but I can draw birds, not people.


Second, why do people hate furries so much? I always see people hating on them, and I know there are some really weird people out there but most people aren't that bad right?


If you guys need to tell me anything, please do. I am really new and if I do something that is not supposed to be done, just tell me :)

Welcome to the Fourms, Akartoshi! :)    Many really welcoming and friendly folks to meet, I hope you enjoy your time here!


While I can't  answer those questions very well, I know that some folks here will definitely be able to help you out with any questions.  ^_^


Cheers!

Everything comes from nothing
Everything is something
So just let it all keep happening

Don't be a means to someone's end
It's all just beginning why can't we extend
An invitation to every hand

All hands can clap
All hearts are beating equally
The pulls of the air we're breathing

If we can believe in one part of it
Then we can believe in all of it
So don't stop
Don't stop the party

I don't know why some people hate furries so much. From my point of view it's not much different than other fandoms, like Trekkers, except that's it's a fandom for a genre/style, rather than for a specific franchise.


There are a few threads in the art section (I think), with drawing tips and tutorials that you might find helpful.

Hello Akartoshi :)
Welcome to these forums and the fandom!

I'm the local art moderator and dragon here :P
Seems you got quite some help already.

Indeed, if you want to request someone to draw art for you, please head to the Requests board.
If you want some advice, tips, tricks, etc. to draw yourself? Check out if any topics we have currently ongoing in the Artistic Stuff board might offer some help.

As for people hating or disliking furries, as with everything that exists there are so many misconceptions. It is mostly due to misconceptions that people tend to dislike/hate furries.
Other times it's simply just not their thing. Not necessarily hating the furry fandom, just not interested in it or liking it.

Any further questions, feel free to ask :3
Once again, welcome to the forums!

Well, that's cool! I will try my luck and request an art. I hope I don't have to pay because my countries currency exchange rate is utter shat and also I am poor ;_;

Just browsing the random forums and I noticed something. You guys should have changed "Photos" To "Furtography" in the art section

Not sure what you mean, the photography board is simply called Photo's?
