Questions for my fellow furs
I figured this might be the best place to ask without getting ridiculed for it, but this is something that has bothered me for a while.
I'm not a fantastic artist. I've tried practicing various ways over the years, many times tracing. I've had a lot of fellow drawers tell me that's how they started. More recently, I've gotten into looking at someone else's lineart and attempting to draw it while also trying to add my own flair. I find this helps with my issue with proportions in the body and I have seen slight improvement in my own drawings now that I'm doing this. I have many pictures in my sketchbook of my fursona that are based off of someone else's work. I want to share them because I am quite proud in what I've managed to accomplish in the last few weeks, but I also don't want to have someone think that I stole artwork and am claiming it as mine. I mean, I drew it all myself, no tracing, but they do look very similar to the original, so...yeah.... Another thing, all the lineart's I've used have been listed as "free" meaning the original artist is okay with other's using it. What do?
On another note: does anyone here take commissions on badges and other such things? Just curious.

The Nose Boop
I am only new to the furry fandom and I want to know if there's a meaning behind the “nose boop.”
Thanks for your time.

Dear Meep,
The nose boop is not really just a furry thing; it is a cute sign of affection used by all sorts of people. Perhaps used more by furries (it’s fun to boop a fursuit nose!), but not at all unique to us.
You could probably research it on the Internet and come up with all sorts of theories as to how this phenomenon originated. I’m not really sure. Since the 2007 movie Superbad and this scene it has become even more popular in our culture.
Culturally and sociologically speaking, any personal gesture that intrudes upon the area of a person’s face is a sign of affection and love. That’s why the kiss involves people’s lips and why Eskimos rub noses. Other than invading the genitalia, the face is a person’s most private area. So, a nose boop is a sign of affection. In my opinion, it’s a surrogate gesture for a kiss—what you do when you really like someone but are too shy or unsure of yourself to actually kiss them.
So, anyway, the origins are rather murky, but it’s such a cute and endearing gesture it doesn’t really matter. The meaning of it is an affectionate one. So boop someone you like today!
Thanks for the fun question!
Hugs,
Papabear
