The Trials and Tribulations of Basketball Sheep by redleaveshavefallen

I think I joined the furry community....yesterday? Two days ago? Either which way, it has been a very short amount of time. But that does not mean it has not been busy. Within that time, I have been researching and laboring and practicing, working towards a goal that all of my days have likely led up to.

That goal, my friends, is the creation of a sheep wearing basketball shorts. It is the purest and most earnest a dream can be.

Yes, after joining this site and FA, a flame was lit. Spurred on by the inspiration and motivation brought by viewing the furry community, I have toiled despite my absolute inability to draw sheep, an ever-present struggle in my life. (I love sheep. Adore sheep. They are like fluffy, woolen beings of love.) I'm not that great at drawing any kind of animal (a large part of why I joined this site in the first place), but sheep have always been one of my biggest rivals along with being my largest loves. But I shall do it. I shall put the sheep in the shorts.And the sheep shall play basketball.

And it shall be beautiful.

But I have learned that beauty comes with a large amount of ugliness, and that perfection is achieved only with copious amounts of struggle. And thus, my slow progress, the fruit of much observation, referencing, and experimenting, has been posted on Twitter for your viewing pleasure.

and so, it continues. In the meantime: any advice for a humble dreamer?
