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.

    In case anyone's looking, the closest I've found is this Google Doc via /r/FurryArtSchool: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OTqhtsRMR3I_tofdM7D0GqdBMcg9-7kLZ_9gbL9SFcA/edit . Still a bit more focused on fundamentals and tutorials rather than more advanced demonstrations, but at least it's focused on furry art.

    Since search engines weren't helping me, I tried ChatGPT in an act of desperation. Here was the result, which is fairly close in concept to what I'm looking for, although if anyone thinks they can do better, let me know:
