Make a circle or oval with a pointed bottom, for a chin/snout. It doesn't need to be perfect right now- you can improve later. It helps to add a plus or cross over the circle for when you add the facial features.

A triangle with rounded edges with the top facing down usually works best.
It can be a cartoon style, it could be showing fangs, it could be closed, it's your choice! A cute option can be to make it smiling and have one tooth pointing out of the corner. Keep the fursona's species into consideration- don't add sharp, carnivorous teeth to a goat!
If you need help, search for animal eyes/fursona eyes online!
You can add stripes, dots, or any kind of special stripes or hallmarks to your fursona's face to make it more unique. Again, keep the species in mind!
Popular ones include foxes, cats, rabbits, or even dragons, but it can be any kind.
These are all optional, of course; just things to spice your fursona up and make it unique.
This makes your fursona more diverse, but of course, you don't have to.

Question

Not all furries are anime, are they?

Not at all. There are countless ways to style furry characters. That's not to say that an anime style isn't popular, because it is. Even then, there are many variations of anime drawing styles, but that's a whole other can of worms.

DO NOT steal someone else's artwork. This is just mean and will get you bullied if you post it or share it. It's okay to be inspired, it's not okay to be a fake.

Be original! If you plan to make multiple fursonas, or stories with them, they need to be interesting.

When drawing a collar, make it loop around the neck instead of just a straight line
