I think the title is a fairly good summary, but for a few clarifications:

I'm not really looking for general fundamental drawing lessons -- not because I don't believe the fundamentals are important, but because those resources are easier to find for me (e.g. Proko, Ctrl-Paint, DrawABox). Those are good for fundamentals, anatomy, etc. but they can feel a bit like "eating your vegetables" sometimes, and every so often it's fun to get inspiration specific to the kind of art I'd like to make.

What I'm looking for would be something more supplemental, partly for the purposes of learning, but also partly for motivation. What I'm imagining is tutorials or demos either of specific techniques, or artists who do streams of their own drawing projects -- something where I could potentially draw along and put what I've learned into practice, while also seeing into the process of a real project, not just beginner exercises.

In the vast ocean of the internet, I refuse to believe that something like this doesn't exist. I know there exist artists with YouTube or Twitch channels who do videos about drawing that, while not exactly formal lessons, can still be informative about their process. And statistically, at least some of those artists must be furries. I'm just having trouble finding good ones, because it's never occurred to me that this could be a fun way to supplement my learning, and because typing "furry drawing youtubers" into Google isn't as helpful as I was hoping it would be.

    A quick YouTube search returns tons of tutorials. Also, watch speed draws of people doing the art you like. I can't recommend any specific ones since they all seem about the same.

    You can also do art studies of the pieces you like. Find a good one painting/drawing and break it down. Trace what you need to trace, copy what you can copy.

    Also, drawfee has a drawclass on their second channel and it's full of really good guided drawing classes. None of them are specific to furry art, but furry art is just regular art with snoots and fluff.

      Well, that's kind of the problem. The first things that come up on a search result aren't going to be that great, which is why I was hoping someone would see this post who had more specific knowledge about what resources were available.

      The same way that, when someone asks for podcast recommendations, the replies are usually from people who are familiar enough with podcasts to provide specific recommendations rather than just saying "Try googling the word 'podcast' and clicking on the first thing you see".
