I’m new to the furry fandom and I have no idea how to get started

I say “new” but it’s more like just lurking for about 6 or so months after my “furry awakening.” I’ve sort of just experimented since that point but only ever lurked in communities such as this

I just don’t know how or where to get started? The furry community is vast and ever growing, but with no artistic ability I genuinely don’t know how to come up with a fursona or where to draw (pardon the pun) inspired from

At this point, all I have is a species that just resonates with me and not much more

So, how did all of you get started when you first realized you were a furry and/or decided to create a fursona and such?
