Help for Drawing and Useful IE Addons

Woah, looks like my hands have been really anxious to write lately. Anyway, I've been looking for ways to improve my drawing skills lately. I've practicing, yes, but that alone isn't enough. Specially if I don't have good enough bases. So I've been looking for tutorials, examples, all of that stuff. And paying attention for those specially tailored to my interests. So far, my research has shown some success. Oh, I almost forgot to mention it, said resources have to be free of charge. Lawl. Now I'll proceed to share my findings with you, the reader:
  • Among the sites I've found to be useful, there is DrawFurry.com, with a highly descriptive name, as it has a collection of tutorials and guides regarding drawing, well, furry creatures.
  • Delusion Studio has also quite a bunch of nice tutorials regarding anatomy and proportions that might help out.
  • The OzFoxes FoxWeb has some drawing tips that are useful when drawing and designing new characters, or for updating your existing ones.
  • Also, I've found a quite nice listing of tutorial sites in Site 7, I should check them out sometime as well.
  • There are quite a bunch of tutorials around deviantART, and there's just a community devoted to anthro tutorials, appropriately named Anthro-Tuts.
But this list might (And really should) be continually growing, so feel free to suggest me any other tutorial sites that could be of interest. Also, later on, I might dedicate a post to improving writing as well, for the literature inclined among us.

Now, as a personal commitment, I must do my best, practice and improve my creative skills, so someday I'll see my dreams and illusions come to a reality!

...daaamn, that was cheesy.

As a little comment, I'd like to recommend a small listing of IE add-ons, gracefully provided by MakeUseOf.com: Top 11 must-have Internet Explorer Addons. Yup, you've read it right. Internet Explorer add-ons. Crap, I know I'm a self-proclaimed Firefox user, but I'm very aware the fox isn't for everyone. And for those who still prefer using that little Internet browser that comes included with almost every Windows install, well, these addons will surely enhance your browsing experience. Among them, IE7Pro is a little gem you shouldn't miss. Hell, if you don't even check out any of the other addons, please, get this one.

Also, I'd like to ask you, the reader, a potential friend, are you interested in link swapping? It's simple, I link your blog/site/webcomic, you link to mine. I'm not specially picky about the sites I link to, other that if it has mature content has to be correctly labeled as that, and of course, I won't link to anything that trespasses the laws and guidelines of common sense and morality (No hateful or harmful things, child pornography, IE-only sites (Lawl), extreme stuff like that). Also, if said blog/site/webcomic has some relation to, contains, or is about furry/anthropomorphic art, it is very, very, very likely I'll link to it. It's not like my blog has an awful lot of exposure but hey, I'm quite sure just another link won't do any harm. I don't have any good images or banners prepared for this purpose, so for now you'll have to link me with only text. This will most likely change in a near future anyway.
