I’m new to the furry fandom and I have no idea how to get started

I say “new” but it’s more like just lurking for about 6 or so months after my “furry awakening.” I’ve sort of just experimented since that point but only ever lurked in communities such as this

I just don’t know how or where to get started? The furry community is vast and ever growing, but with no artistic ability I genuinely don’t know how to come up with a fursona or where to draw (pardon the pun) inspired from

At this point, all I have is a species that just resonates with me and not much more

So, how did all of you get started when you first realized you were a furry and/or decided to create a fursona and such?

  • Most people's first fursonas are just themselves ++. I don't think that is a bad thing and would recommend that's where you start. What are your interests? What clothes would you where if you didn't worry about social norms and body type.

    Now for the visual representation of your fursona. You said that you have a species that's good. The next thing I would figure out is color palette. I would recommend coolors it's a website that uses color theory to help select colors that work together. Then I would look for f2u bases on furaffinity and use a photo editing or drawing software like gimp or krita to then color the fursona. You can also use an app like fursona maker to create a Sona. What ever you try save multiple copy's along the way and play around with the colors and patterns you wanna add. It's ok if this is turns out not great just aslong as you think it communicates your sonas vibe you can then find an artist you wanna commission to make a proper ref sheet
