I still like this one... This one and the sleepy with friends ones are what inspired me to get back off my lazy butt and try to draw again. From furry drawing 1 to this one, I only made about....... 9? overe the course of 8-ish months. Some were lost to the sands of time and the move out of my parents home, but I (cross) posted the ones I found from way back.

Original post text: "This was my last drawing before I stopped and is possibly my best work, in my own humble opinion.

This was created about 8 months after I made my first smudge "The Bird" and I had no idea, not even an inkling of a clue how far I'd gone since my first crude drawings until I look back on them now, after finding them almost 2 [when I posted them on FA - wonka] years later.

I used NO references with this and I'm pleased with almost every aspect of it except the bottom of those damn curtains...

Other than that, I love the pose, I love the fact I was FINALLY starting to get proportions and subtle body angles about right, I love the mood and feeling I finally was getting my drawings to begin to convey and I love how I managed that ruddy chair! I cheaped out on the other hand, but tough noogies!

It still sucks compared to so, so much on FA, but this was my crowning achievement before I ended up back sliding through no practice.

Looking back at my old work, spread out over the 8-9 months I was actually drawing. I see now that I was improving, drastically, over my first attempts. I just didn't see it then because I was watching that evolution happen in front of me, one line, one pencil stroke, at a time. I was literally my own worst critic and it blinded me to my own progress."
