@Thorvald: Surprisingly, forward-facing human faces are actually easier for me to draw than animal ones. I’ve improved a bit now than I was then, but for a while I usually messed up animal faces that faced forward. I tried doing it with one of my dinosaur characters, and it just looks SO weird.
But yeah, now that you mentioned it, I can definitely see the appeal.
...I think most people become furries because animals are easier. :P
