For a long time I had a generic wolf fursona so I changed it to a snow leopard in 2024 to better resonate with me. Though drawing this fursona is a bit challenging for me so I haven't exactly mastered drawing it. The attached image is my recent attempt at making my sona actually look identifiably feline because I'm not used to drawing cats.

I was wondering what tips you guys have to master drawing felines? I always have to use image references and can never draw them without it.

I'm looking to be able to draw felines without needing to refer to reference images each time, so more specifically, what I'm looking for is strategies or steps you guys take to draw felines. Like, what makes it easier for you?

So I just finished Breaking Bad for the first time 3 weeks ago today and the show hasn't left my mind for even a day because of how great it is.

Before posting this I was thinking about specific plot points in later seasons and it got me thinking about the first half of Season 5.

When I first saw it, I actually thought it was pretty uninteresting particularly because I already had the ending of Felina spoiled to me, so I had assumed that all of Season 5 would be like Season 5B.

But looking back currently, I actually now consider 5A to be a highlight of the show. After Season 3 and 4 build up the rivalry between Walt and Gus, and the climax of Season 4 leading to Gus' demise, the fallout of Gus Fring's death really feels... not sure what else to say other than captivating.

I mean, what is supposed to happen now with the huge power vacuum now that Gus is gone? What happens with all these loose ends? The fun part of watching Season 5A for me was finding out!

Peter Schuler's suicide

Destroying Gus Fring's laptop with magnets

Lydia attempting to have Gus' associates killed (with that failing and her becoming the supplier of methylamine)

Walt, Mike, and Jesse coming together to set up a new distribution operation

When I watched this it seemed like the loose ends were tying themselves up and things were sailing a bit smoothly, but then Lydia couldn't continue supplying which led to the train heist.

Mike and Jesse back out, which seems like that could have gone mostly smooth but that instead leads to Walt impulsively killing Mike and Walt contacting Jack Welker to have Mike's guys killed in prison.

To top it all off, it ultimately ends with Hank realizing Walt is Heisenberg.

This all seems like the perfect buildup to the events of Season 5B to me. I love Season 5B, but man Season 5A feels like such a big turning point in the show because it slowly gets even worse when things seem like they're patching up.

All in all, what did you guys like about Season 5A?
