Go To

Furries Are Easier to Draw is unclear as to whether it's describing something that appears in the artwork itself, or if it's about the artists' actual experiences.

    Confirmed examples 4/ 50 
  • Beatrix Potter: Potter had admitted humans were hard to draw for her, the reason why there are so many animal characters in her books, yet few humans. In fact, for Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, when she decided to include a major human character, she had to draw many preliminary sketches for Lucie, as well as enlist a real child model.
  • Columbia Cartoons: The UPA films are a major aversion. The UPA animators felt that Funny Animal characters were too cliché, and chose to use humans instead. They worked around this by making the humans as simplistic as possible, so they would both be easy to animate and avoid falling into the Uncanny Valley.
  • Lewis Trondheim: He chose this style since Furries Are Easier to Draw.
  • Robert Crumb: Mostly enjoyed and drew only Funny Animal comics when he was younger, and claimed that Fritz allowed him a certain degree of separation from reality that he couldn't get with humans. He eventually lost interest in this and rarely, if ever, drawn anthropomorphic characters these days.
  • Crossing-Over: The art is evident of this and the data page lists why furry was picked as the art style.

    In-universe art style 4/ 50 
  • Coach Random: He can draw humans, but they're much more detailed than his dog characters, as a number of strips show. Doesn't say that's the reason why it's about dogs instead
  • Faux Pas: While the strip's animal characters are rendered with loving care, human characters are rare, faceless, and drawn without much detail.
  • Cosmic Hero: Take one look at the human characters and this will soon become apparent.
  • Gene Catlow: One look at his human characters and you can quickly tell why the majority of the comic only contains furries.
