Cover artwork for an upcoming book Lindsay Cibos and I spent the latter half of 2008 putting together for IMPACT Press. The book, titled “Draw Furries: How to Create Anthropomorphic and Fantasy Animals" is a how-to book that goes over drawing anthropomorphic and animal characters. We cover anatomy and poses, step-by-step, for feline, canine, equine, rodent and avian characters, plus coloring and backgrounds. The book also features guest art from several popular furry artists, but more on that when it gets closer to its release date. For now, I’m content to say that the project was a joy to work on, and really let me stretch out creatively.

If you’re interested (why wouldn’t you be?) Draw Furries is available November 2009 from Amazon.com or your local anthro friendly book retailer.
