Q&A with ^KovoWolf
Here are a few questions & answers in regards to Anthro art! I've come across these questions quiet a bit so I thought I would answer them here as well! If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
Q: What is Anthropomorphic art?
^KovoWolf - Anthropomorphic is pronounced [an-thruh-puh-mawr-fik] adjective 1. ascribing human form or attributes to a being or thing not human, especially to a deity. 2.resembling or made to resemble a human form: an anthropomorphic carving.
So by definition it states giving human characteristics to an otherwise none human object, animal or thing. For example Disney's - The Brave Little Toaster, Van Helsings WereWolf, The Creature From The Black Lagoon! or Anubis, an Egyptian God. All of these are things, objects or creatures that exhibit human traits or characteristics.

Where is the best place to start learning how to draw Anthropomorphic art?
^KovoWolf - Here on DeviantART is a great place to start! You can actually find a great resource on a previous article I did for Project educate. It lists a lot of great tutorials and other resources that you can utilize to help you along your way! You can find it here:
Is there somewhere I can go to chat amongst fellow Anthro art enthusiasts?
^KovoWolf - Yes! There are a few different chat channels you can join using the dAmn chat network! Some channels are:
#IamAnthro - is the official, Anthro Community-sponsored chatroom managed by Team Anthro staff.
#AnthroConvention - is a brand new channel on dAmn for con-goers and the curious alike to share ideas, network, and talk about anything and everything convention related. This room offers an open art share, open critique and links to fabulous resources on the web. Most importantly, the Anthro Community now has an awesome tool to use for getting live tips and advice from fursuiters and fursuit makers on every aspect of costume design and construction like no other place.
Do I have to be an Anthro artist in order to be involved with the Anthro Community?
^KovoWolf - Nope! The Anthro Community welcomes any and all individuals who share the same love and devotion to art! Anthropomorphism is another form of art and the community is more then happy to share that with fellow artists of all genre!

The unique thing about Anthro art is that it can take different shapes, sizes, and forms. The only limitation is your imagination. One of the most common misconceptions for Anthro art is that people generally associate it with "Furry" art because most of Anthro art is enveloped around furry animals that look like humans ( Below the very talented ^Katmomma has written up a quick guide to the differences between "Furry" and "Anthro"). Lions, Tigers, Bears and WereWolves. But contrary to popular belief, Anthro art can range from animals to toasters that doesn't involve fur at all! In my previous post about Anthro art, I explained what Anthropomorphic was. Anthro art is based on the very definition below:
Anthropomorphic: Ascribing human form or attributes to a being or thing not human, especially to a deity.
