One of my earliest digital anthro drawings designed on July 2016

Practice session goal: Practice the clothed male figure. Understand muscle structure. Improve inking and coloring methods. Use realistic shadows. Practice adding highlights. Practice drawing other species' other than wolves. Speed up sketching, inking, and coloring process.

I drew this in a public library, which was a bit embarrassing for me so I decided on a clothed figure. There was a reason for drawing in a library, but it's not important to explain. I get a bit embarrassed admitting that I draw furry-related artwork or showing it publicly outside of its social circle; although I enjoy drawing the artwork and have been since my teens.
Anyway, I wanted to try some more complex arm and leg positions, specifically practicing digitigrade legs and having a more "fluffy" body in general.
I ran into some issues with the shadows however. I must have put the Mode to Dissolve or something which gave off this burnt look. It was difficult to correct.

Heavy references were used and I used extensive tutorials on both FA and youtube to get a realistic shadow and figure design
