A bit of backstory: up until the past couple of years, I've been heavily, for lack of a better term, in the closet about being a furry. It's only thanks to the fact that an acquaintance of mine was part of the fandom that I was able to go to my first meet and even hang out with other furries at an anime convention near my town.

However, there's the matter of my parents. My mother is incredibly nosy and comes to visit me at least once a week (I live only sixty miles away from my parents for college), and has discovered pieces of furry art I've done (or attempted to do) on several occasions, usually not questioning it. And then it turned out that she nosed about in my room and found parts to a fursuit in the process of being made by a friend of mine (tail and paws, head currently being worked on), and started asking questions about it. I convinced her that it was part of a Halloween costume, but now I am concerned.

On top of being nosy, my parents- especially my mother- are incredibly overbearing, despite me having moved out of the house. There's also the matter of the fact that they seem to be in denial of the fact that I have a boyfriend (I'm a guy), just calling him my 'friend', and constantly ask about what I'm doing with my friends or online (both of which usually involve hanging out with people in the fandom). They don't trust me, they're paranoid, they might be xenophobic, and I'm afraid of what's going to happen if they find out I'm a furry; honestly, the best case scenario I see is that they make me get rid of my fursuit parts.

What do I do?

A lot of stuff was happening in my life and the bigest of all was my already far away cousin was being stationed by the army again but this time to Korea. We were so close to him (emotionally not literally) and we are just so afraid war will be declared when he's there. It was sad but a few days ago I noticed I was happy again. It took me a while but than I figured out it was the furries. So this post is just to say thank you!

Since the last art of something different went well lets keep it going! How about some 15 minute quick and dirty sketches! Whatever you can draw in about 15 minutes share it! It doesnt have to be a hard 15 but try to keep it close! Learning to do 10-15 minute quick sketches is a great way to practice and improve yourself! If you do a quick 15 minutes once a day for a month you will see improvements! So beginners and veterans alike... show us what 15 minutes of your life spent looks like.

Let me start. I'm been doing 15 minute doodles for a few months now and it has helped a ton. Its kept me from trying to over think which was probably my hardest obstacle to overcome art wise. I'd ache over anatomy instead of just drawing what looked good. In the end stopping the over thinking improved my anatomy on its own. http://imgur.com/3Vto3S9

A friend of mines sold a fursuit to someone and they refuse to pay. He's already gotten the suit and knows what he did. Please help spread the news.
