Heeey. I was moving things around on my desk and I just remembered I have a Tablet! Problem is though, I havent drawn in ages and I'm rusty.
Anybody know of some guides for drawing, how to draw furry art and such? I'd appreciate the help. ;p

Well, since you asked... I'll just give the ol' anonymous doofus input, here, take it for what it's worth. From my own experience I'd say, instead of focusing on drawing furry art, instead focus on form first and foremost. If you concentrate on a genre, of any sort, it's going to tend to push you away from the essentials. If you do the basics first (learning to portray an object or figure convincingly in your style) you can then take that skill and pretty much draw anything you want, furry art included.
A great simple, low-cost way to get started in some extremely solid art fundamentals is to go to your local bookstore or online retailer and seek out books by author Jack Hamm. Not only are they jammed with information (It's sick to compare them to art books being produced now, since current books probably have 1/3rd to 1/4th the useful content per page at best) but they are inexpensive. If you get his books on animal drawing and figure drawing, and practice what he shows, it'll give you a serious boost. Then of course, you can combine his fundamentals and get to what you're aiming for. Not the only solution, for sure, but I wanted to throw it in as a starting point. Good luck!

What I'm currently doing to improve my art is look at other peoples art and if there's something that you like about one particular drawing that you cant quite get down, simply try to draw (or color or whatever) the same pic until you get it down, just don't post it anywhere, and, yes, starting with the basics is definitely a good idea
