From the top! ...I guess? Just copypasting from muh last post after the '~ ~ ~'. No clue if the (you)s will go through, but they're there up on desu.Sorry for the first pic being a satyr.~ ~ ~Here's a fix of a Ceily pic I didn't share back when I made it a bit ago.Her face was bugging me for the longest time and I finally went ahead and made it a little more presentable. flipping between the old pic and this one one causes me psychic damage.A bit of bonus side stuff as well since I got bored. She's modelling for her friend's art club(class?), I suppose. Didn't really think that far ahead, but I thought it was kind of a cute idea.>>41352401That's one fuzzy Tavi.

>>41355048i's all good brother
might as well re post this
gonna post a few previous draws so the thread isn't a total bumpfest at least until I go to bed.

Where were you when /mlp/ was kill?
>>41355523was watching youtube then remembered I haven't checked /bale/ or kinder for a while, went to refresh and discovered everything was nuked.
>>41355523i was preparing to break my nofap streaking but this situation killed my libido
>>41355523I was out getting quints. I'm back now and I missed the quints.
>>41332020Seems cool. Roblox is really different from when I played back in the day; in good and bad ways. >>41332034A very good range of expressions. The bottom left is great.>>41332808The mane and tail details are excellent.>>41332811Cute Übermare.>>41334646You did well with the fishing rod. >>41335971The white outline here makes me think your stuff would be great for stickers. >>41336294Applestick.>>41336539Really nice Dash. I have no idea what the, “one eye cocked” facial expression is called, but I love seeing it.
>>41355523I woke up to see if I got any (you)'s only to see this thread with only 15 replies.
>>41355820Consider this as a (you) for all the posts that were mercilessly struck down by retard jannies. I love all of your draws, balefrens.
>>41356458Thanks!Posting my wip again with some more work done on it.
>>41356781I think the flowers are pretty. Their leaves too. But the pony doesn't match the scene value wise. She glows. You could make her a lot darker, so that it feels like she is actually there.
>>41356926Thanks for the crit! Yeah saw that too with my values checking layer in CSP. Going to darken AJ a fair bit more and see if I can't make it better.

idk what to draw, i havent drawn pointy ponies in months
>>41356781Interesting. What's the plan to get this picture to a finish?
>>41357789A whole lot of rendering and adding details. For example I gotta refine AJ and her values and anatomy. Gotta finish all the background elements like the bish and some more of the Grass. The whole foreground isn’t even been worked on a whole lot. I got a general idea for How I want it to look like and I’m quite far from it as of now. I enjoy the process though and try to learn something with every step.

trying to learn to draw pons frens
>inb4 satyrI've been faltering in my motivation to draw just pony lately, I feel need to switch shit up and do something different in order to continue on. I wanted to take a crack at satyrs for shits and giggles, as you can clearly see I let the coom flow through me with her outfit. I'm not going to stop drawing pony or pony related things or anything like that I just need respite from doing essentially the same thing all the time and I'm going to use that time to do shit I think I need to work on, like drawing people/human bodies I'd like to do more things with humans and ponies interacting, both outdoor and indoor backgrounds, and perspective shit.Tl:DR taking a little break from doing nothing but mares, will still do them but it will be at a slower pace.
>>41351094 Thx for advice, anon. Hope I did well.
>>41359039ye looks better anon!
>>41359013>feels the need to have a break from drawing mares>instead of drawing stallions, foals, Equestria decides to draw nonpony>>41359039the ork bug!
>>41359114yeah basically. I don't really care for drawing stallions because I'm not gay and I simply don't like them as much as mares, fillies, or women. I have drawn plenty fillers which would mean drawing colts which I simply don't do because of similar reasons to stallions. call me Mr.Sexism please. as for drawing equestria, fair point I'll concede that. Counter point, I draw whatever I feel like whenever it strikes my fancy, simpul as.
>>41359013Nice ponktyr! She's got a very animu face. Reminds me of Fiddle/Faddle inna way. Satyrs are fun because you can practice bits of human and pone at the same time. Also, I just think they're neat. And cute. I'm biased.Nothing wrong with taking a detour to draw other shit. I admire the dedication to keep drawing instead of just taking a full on break. Just don't go and burn yourself out and good luck, man!
>>41359159I see degradation into formerly-shitposter, formerly-good artist drawing EqG porn in your future.
>>41359171Thanks brother! yeh her face is straight animu I chose animu because its essentially a retvrn to tradition for me cause I used to draw that a decade and a half ago, and never super consistently either. agreed they are interesting.
>>41359197>eqgI'm not into scat anon, as a wise Aussie once said "professionals have standards".
>>41359197>TJYou know, there was a point where I admired that guy. Dude was one of the reasons I started drawing. At least he serves as a testament of what happens when someone goes full horny and never recovers.
Not even a drawing but I don't want to make a G5 thread even by technically so POW take this low effort thread
>>41359013Im not a satyr fan, but this ponk is really cute
>>41359013Damn, how do you know all that anatomical detail? Its all there!
>>41359013Did a redline if ya want it since ya helped me w my Celestia (hopefully it's ok to post just general anatomy, plz jannies). I really like the energy in the pose, very Pinkie! I think you could benefit from studying how to more smoothly connect the joints of the arm as lines that go into the form can look really good but for me the (our) right arm, specifically the upper arm, goes a little too much into the lower arm. The torso and hips are actually closer to eachother than many think, only a couple of centimetres. This can ofcourse be changed to fit specific characteristics. I think my redline highlights other aspects I didn't mention now but good work and it's fine to change up subject matters in art, gotta keep it fun and interesting.Speed drawing if that interests you: https://streamable.com/sty4oa
>>41359613Noted, btw excellent hands dude you mogged the fuck out of me with them that's for sure, I've always struggled with hands to be honest. I used a posable model as a ref for the position. I made her on the thicc and busty, side partially cause horny and partially because I think it suits her. I really like how you did the waist. Sorry for not having a lot to say I just randomly woke up after sleeping 3hours and decided to check the thread cause I couldn't immediately get back to sleep.
>>41359613>>41359836The redline is actively worse than the original.>the body is too small for the legs>it's too long and narrow for itself>the waist is also too narrow (unless you're drawing specifically cripples produced by Victorian corsetting)>>there is a lot of organs and muscle in the way between the ribcage and the pelvis, if you ever draw like this YOU URGENTLY NEED TO GO BACK TO STUDYING FROM REAL LIFE REFERENCES>no it doesn't look attractive to anyone but chronically online>the head's position is more boring and incorrectly offset>skull protrudes from the neck sideways, it can only be inline if looking directly from the side>again, go back to studying from photography, or better, hire a model>the hands are too detailed and too large for a woman>the muscles are too defined for "generic woman" and definitely far too defined for Pinkie (try RD or AJ if you want to have this much muscle definition)>the legs are fucked lmao the raised one has noticeably shorter thigh and longer shin and MASSIVELY shorter foot
>>41359929kek I didn't want to say anything but yeah
>>41359929Yeah, not saying what I did was perfect or anything. Just trying to help where I can and the redline is self is just a suggestion of what I think could be improved not something I said was required to do. Of course one should always seek reference and real life examples especially on something as vital as anatomy and I do that too but I rushed a bit in this case. Went back and did some adjustments as I did notice some of the things you mentioned in your post. The hands, muscle definition (I admit I do to much definition usually). If you don't mind could you demonstrate how you would do the raised leg? Gotta work more on that. >>41359982You can no worries, I take it as I need to study and learn more about art and anatomy in this case. Simply draw more with focus.
>>41359013>>41359613>>41359836>>41360023You have whole /trash/ and /ic/, you know?
>>41357775>>41358911I love them!
>>41360023>>41359013First, pick whether you want to do show-like proportions, or real-life-like ones. Trying to do both results in exactly this giant thigh plus tiny shin plus giant foot kind of leg that is less appealing. Since you're drawing satyr, I recommend show-like, or you end up drawing half->b&nthro.Second, there's two tricks to having proper body:leg proportion (and consequently raised legs) for a real body a.k.a. a solid foundation for changing it, making legs nonhuman, et cetera: First is the general headcount proportion. The bottom of the pelvis is at midpoint of the figure for men, and roughly 1/3 of a head lower than midpoint for women. Or in other words, for this Ponk to have human body:leg proportions her maregina should be a full head lower.The second, and MUCH more helpful when drawing something like this, is the rule of three lengths: the distance from jugular notch to middle of the pelvis, from top of the pelvis to the knee (and in horizontal position, from the butt surface to the knee), and from the knee to bottom of the foot are roughly the same. Once you know it, foreshortening the leg can be done with trigonometry (sine of the angle between it and the plane of image) rather than guessing.For show-like anatomy just swap proportions: instead of leg being separated into thigh and shin+foot, have it be separated into thigh+shin and vertical foot, i.e. have the distance be to the ankle, rather than knee.
>>41360151Yeah I know. But right now We are in this thread.
>>41360169Yeah, I know, but would be much better other way around
>>41360164Thanks for the write up! Really helpful for future practice/study!
>>41360169Gtfo. We draw ponies here, not horrific barbie abominations. Fae anon gets a pass on it barely because his stuff is otherwise amazingly soul, but this pinkie just makes me recoil in disgust.

So I just post my shitty art, and you guys tell me how to improve it?
>>41362715Post it
I am torn between my desire for more interaction with what I draw and not really caring about the sites with the most "reach." The boorus are fine, but le funny number go up feels meaningless.
>>41359013>bale op love eqgIts wonderful to see more open mindedness on here! makes me hopeful for the future of the community! but let us not stop here there are so many possibilities to explore>picconsider this one friends, would this body type not just be the cutest thing for pinkie pie?

>>41362893And the slope keeps getting more slippery.
I hate human trash as much as the next guy, but the solution is called hide+filter.

>>41362824I can suggest the draw thread. Some of the requests there are quite fun and creative. People are also generally appreciative of those who draw the requests.

>>41359013wow yours looks so good, my stuff cant really measure up but I will share anywys some old drawing I made
>>41363014At least they insist on proving exactly why that rule is there.And why it should be expanded to barbies.
>>41362883PerfectionWouldn't change a thing.
>>41363017Here's your (You).
>>41363049>And why it should be expanded to barbies.The jannies and probably even the mods themselves are literally EQG fags, they've proven it multiple times.

>>41363074You poor soul, you must be absolutely starving to be THIS desperate for (You)s. What's the matter? Your reddit post didn't get upvoted? Not enough reblogs on your tumblr meme? Someone made a color edit of your super duper original non-binary alicorn OC?
>>41363067Which is a shame, but doesn't prevent having a "humanizations are offtopic" in the OP.
I need some advice with clothing styles, I really like these ones, you guys got any advice?>>41363074>>41363038cute>>41363084rude
>>41363073I don't know why it affected things so much but yeah it really did. I'd leave and come back in a month or two when it's hopefully settled down again but honestly I don't know where I'd even go at this point. Everywhere I've looked is even worse. Reddit, twitter, tumblr, hell I've even tried derpibooru forums, and every single one of them are fucking disgusting to interact with. They're just constant echo chambers full of hypocrites with their head so far up their own ass it integer overflows into being back on their neck again. And god, the staff... every interaction just leaves me with a lingering taste of vomit and eyeballs sore from rolling too hard.
>41363090>a pointless request for "advice" that doesn't actually have any substance and couldn't really get a reply even if someone cared to try>followed by samefagging so obvious even a retard like you could have figured it out>followed by a response that screams "I'm an ingenuous offboard tourist" No (You) for you. Bad troll. Surely you can do better than that.

Alright, sheets is really bad about losing some of the images when exporting the mare list to a .pdf, so instead I'll just copy it over to a new account and share the sheets link later today. Changes from the last version being adding a couple mares that were missed, removing one or two duplicates, and re-adding the episode they first appeared in because it turns out that is useful information at times. I plan to do the same with the comic characters later. I may look at adding the unique mares gameloft made up too later on, but I'm not sure yet.

>>41378832fuck, didn't attach the image
>>41354708Good day fellow /bale/ frens, I would like to make a call to the drawfag to join in a charity tshirt collaboration,its just like in the "create OC" threads were each person adds one piece of art to an blank formless pony shape to create a cute mare, here each folk will add a small piece of their art onto the mspaint pattern, save it and post it further down the thread for other to add onto the upcoming masterpiece.The deadline is either until exactly 7 days from now on (9th of September), after that I will trace the mspaint drawing with the permanent markers onto the XXL sized tshirt and pass it along for the Mare Fair 2 charity auction staff to be auction off, maybe it will sell for 1$ maybe for 100$, who can predict that?btw while I dont think this was stated anywhere, but Im pretty sure MF2 charity auction do no allow for lewd images to to sold, so the end result will need to look sfw)
>>41378895>spoilerslurs aren't lewd, right?
Filled out the rest of this page.>>41378895Cute idea anon. I'll give it a go, but I've only drawn on actual paper, so it'll probably come out shittier than usual.

>>41379188Personally _I_ would say it's fine but following an general safety umbrella of spirit of the rules I'm going to say no, unless it's like the old school comic book "skull, dynamite, exclamation mark" symbols.>>41379204Neato burrito, any medium is fine, as long as long as there is a indication for a specific area you wish to apply the drawing.

>>41369399Still working on it, why I over-complicate art requests I'll never know. >>41378836Other than just keep drawing/practicing I'd have to say her main mane colour is a too neon-y. Too much saturation. Play around with the hue and saturation to see if you can't get a more cohesive colour palette (I suck at colour too but it's always good to practice).>>41379204>Oats>>41379307Great stuff! >>41379602Somtimes the energy is just not there, We accept your amre anyway! >>41380881That's what we all tell ourselves (and tbf others tell me that too lol). But there is no improvement without failure. I'd say the body is a bit too long between the shoulders and hindlegs, just keep that in mind for next time!
>>41381125>why I over-complicate art requests I'll never know. You gotta learn when less is more my dude.
>>41381214100% agree. Think I’m just gonna scrap Atleast the mane shading and make it more simple. Overall work with less brushstrokes and make em more meaningful ig.
>>41381264I meant the "base" fur shading, but hell maybe just start from Fluttershy from scratch and make it less cluttered.

>>41378895Slap the best mare fair pone Morning Mimosa on the right arm my dude.
>>41382039You drew her in the armpit lmao
>>41382050Fug you are right, ok, so when drawing her on the shirt , do NOT drew her into into the armpit but on front of the arm like were the purple line is (google tells me its on the deltoid muscle). Also I forgot to mention to use the silver pen for the glasses and the braces.
>>41379204Nice man, some great stuff there. Really like the berry >>41379307Love how you did the colors, looks real good
Alright, so after some thought, I've finally decided to mess around with some things and I'd like to ask... How bungled are these marebits? The pic is small so I know it's kind of hard to make things out. Probably should have made things a bit bigger. And probably learned how to draw it closed before attempting it open, but whatever, another time Still have stuff I need to fix/want to change about it (like the shitty half-assed blush on glasses over there and Fan's tum), but I've gotten far enough along that I thought I'd ask just in case things are a little too fucked before finishing it up.also it's >la abominacion, fair warningsome curious exploration between friends: https://files.catbox.moe/xlt03q.png
>>41382194Id eat it
>>41382431i second this
>>41359013I don't think any artists should draw pony exclusively. As long as you still love pony and draw it when you feel like you want to then you're all good as far as I'm concerned.
>>41382529If you only draw pony you gonna suck ass. draw backgrounds, humans, interactions etc. its fine to have a major subject of interest but if you limit yourself only to that you gonna miss many oportunities to be a better artist
>>41382194It's adequate, the booty hole is very close to her spine and the inside of the canal should be darker and a different shade of pink, more like the inside of your cheek for example. The butthole being too close to the spine is a very common mistake even really good well known artists make that mistake don't feel bad about that. I could sperg further but that would have practically nothing do with any wrong doing on your part and be more about my strong opinions on the matter. It also depends on if you want to go truly anatomically correct, something the majority of artists don't actually seem to know or care about is the fact that horse pussy is actually angled down towards the ground. I have a link at home about real mare anatomy, made for aspiring vets and is a quick read probably less than 5mins if you'd like.
haven't touched drawpad in like 2 years (not that I ever used it much) but something someone said made me pull mine out and try to draw a bit, didnt hate it.
What can I grind to get better at traditional if I've only ever done digital seriously?>trying to get good enough for mare fair sketchbook swaps
>>41382804based lets hope to more!>>41382843a fair amount of the skills you build with tablet should be transferable at least theoretically i think. the only thing is that you don't have any of the tools you'd have with digital like copy pasting shit or perspective grids or layers ect. Id say grind symmetry, practice basic shapes, and do perspective work, the rest should be fairly comparable.
>>41382559Thanks for the reply, man. Did a couple edits, so hopefully the inner coloration problem is a little better: https://files.catbox.moe/58skxw.png Flipping between the two... I can definitely see the problem. The old one looked weird.>bumholeI kind of forgot that there's a gap between the two as I was drawing. Not sure if this made it any better, but at least it's not 'connected' now. In all honesty, I was focusing on the marebiterinos more than anything else. Speaking of which, it's pretty obvious I didn't use much in the ways of reference while drawing this shit. You know, like a dumbass.Also I noticed the angle thing in some of the art I saw as I was rummaging around just now. Since I don't want to dwell on this draw for longer than I already have, I'll save experimenting with the proper angle and such for next time around, when I'm not so tired.
>>41382843i thought that was marepussy for a second
>>41383156ye is all good those things happen when you "tunnel" vision forgive the pun.https://www.ansci.wisc.edu/jjp1/equine/mare_anat/vulva2.html the link I was talking about, do check out the rest of the stuff there it will help a lot. good luck on your other runs
>>41383269Would.
>>41381125Alright so I worked on reducing my values to 2-3 and focus more on form and implying texture instead of outright painting each god damn detail. I think the general composition is better off with more focused and less rendering.>>41382804Nice, I say keep going if you enjoy it!>>41383269qt dashie
>>41383873very nice
>>41379204Adorables.

>>41378895What happened to the /bale/ fridge idea?
>>41385080It's still happening, I don't think many people (or even anyone) sent Lunar anything in advance, but afaik there will be art supplies and a fridge to hang drawings up on
>>41385125Okay cool, I'll probably add to the t-shirt when I have some time.

Something I did for the Redheart thread. I don't usually try adding shadows, but it's something I probably need to figure out.
>>41388221Yea I'm the same way. I think what you got turned out good
>>41385729Blue black and beautiful.
>>41378895>>41382066Sorry it took so long, hope this is alright
>>41388701two mares, neato. now we are cooking with gas.
>>41378895am a linux fag is it ok that I did mine in my usual program since I don't have mspaint? I'm sure as shit not drawing it in gimp i'd rather saw my own dick off with a rusty butter knife.
>>41354708
>>41389115damn flutternigga you are good
I'm trying to break away from just using a hard shadow + airbrush and a bit of soft edge eraser for shading, but it's rough to get shading right in Clip Paint Studio and try to tweak my brush to get it how I like it. I want it to both put down color and blend so I turned on coloring mixing in subtool setting and playe with stretch + the different options but it's just not quite there yet.
>>41383165how?
>>41389178Thats quite an interesting style you got there, not what I would typically like, but after trying and failing to do what you do i appreciate the effort. I really like your foliage you have good color selection but some part could be a little more subdued in my opinion. the composition is really good too in my opinion, the image is'nt to hard to read, I think you have good potential.
>>41378895>spoilerthis allowed? if not ill try and do something tomorrow
>>41389200yes, the tree was not originally intended to be part of the comp so i selected nice bright colors, normally for background elements, you pick stuff more desaturated/blue tint or just some other major color in the background and then using that tint on top of it. So I messed with that and tried doing Fluttershy. I ended up going through like 100 brushes but none of there were good and I just ended up sticking with the "Scratchy Ink" free brush I was already using. I did find out you can enable "color mixing" on an eraser in CPS, for example on a kneaded eraser and its a more effective blender than the actual blender brush. Well, sort of, I'm still trying to figure out how to do decent blending. It doesn't help that I really like textures so I often don't have perfectly smooth blending like someone like Loish or Korean CG art does, for example.
>>41389370That ponk is really cute!
>>41389426I have no good info to pass along, so i'll nod and agree yes sorry formy shit take
>>41389426Regarding the specifics of your artwork, I think the biggest roadblocks in your way to finishing it is the lack of clearly defined simple form and consistent light source. The way you're presenting it tells me that less would be more.
>>41389426>>41389483In pic related, the painter does something very similar, but restricts themselves to only extremely basic balls and cylinders for the head and body, and the light is clearly coming from one specific direction. The artist made the choice to have the viewer looking directly at the half shadows, and only truly rendered the brightly lit parts (the shadow parts are barely rendered). This gives a very clear sense of form and directionality, and it its a much simpler and more minimalist approach than what you described.
That style reminds me of rhorse, but I don't see it under their tag on twibooru.
>>41389048Neat, thats a Lyra with Fence Sitter cutiemarl?>>41389370cute, im feeling this is ok to add brother.

>>41392977Are we supposed to just make it colored outlines?
>>41393007I've worked printing t-shirts, believe me when I tell you that it is better to do something simple with few colors, otherwise you end up with a "chewy" print on your t-shirt, my best advice is to use 2 different colors and "textures" If you want to do complicated things.
>>41393034I understand, I was just asking if it's considered a breach of etiquette to submit a mare made of solid colors
>>41393048nta, do keep in mind this is going to be redraw with markers, so it's going to be limited to what a person can do with by hand and how it will end up looking once transferred on the shirt.
>>41393179Oh, good to know, thanks.

Drew this >>41382292 What's the consensus on nicking ideas/requests from the draw thread?I'm nowhere near good enough to post there that fucking hand so I doubt this is what they had in mind,but I still feel bad about drawing it and not telling the anon who requested it. Maybe I'm just being retarded.
>>41395244nothing wrong with finding inspo from the draw thread, im sure the anon would appreciate it btw. but if you don't want to post it you don't have to.
>>41395244I think it's a perfectly serviceable piece, anon. The hand might look a little alien-esque but it's not bad. God knows there's plenty of good pony artists that still can't grasp (heh) fingers. At worst I think you might get a >/bale/ from the resident party-pooper, but I doubt the requester will be displeased getting his /r/ fulfilled.There is only a finite supply of drawfags and an innumerable amount of /r/equesters. More likely than not there's going to be hundred of unfulfilled requests to the maybe tens of /d/s that get made every thread. Adding onto the meager (draw)pile of /d/ will never be a bad thing, regardless of what some random sperg might think. In the end, you can do really whatever you want, be it snagging ideas for draws, or /d/rawing them specifically for the drawthread. Just remember to have fun with it, and don't sweat the small stuff.
>>41395244Just looking at what you drew, show that anon what you made, it would definitely make their day better.As long as what you're making isn't half assed show them.
>>41395244>i'm nowhere near good enough to post therethere is no minimum skill level to post there. there's some shitheads who piss and moan about anything that's below a professional artists skill level. just ignore them. your draw is perfectly ok to post there and is cute.
fuck, that pic reminded me that I haven't drawn this particular mare in forever. Moar Habby, but a little less pointy point.
Trying to learn the mlp artstyle. any tips for better colors/line colors?
>>41395974Thicker and cleaner outlines. Take note of how/when lines for different body parts overlap and stay consistent with it. It already looks very good though, well done
Couple a NEETs having a good thymeDon't be fooled by the gal in the middle, it's just a cheap costume. She likes playing dress-up.
>>41395985Sorry brother but I can hardly tell what's going on in this pic.
>>41396032Fair, it's lazy as fuck. Doesn't help that it's mostly gray on a white background.It's just a couple mares sitting around. The middle one is behind the other two and she's somewhat obscured by the left mare's fluffy tail. Looking at it again, I can see some of leftmare's tail being mistaken for the middlemare's leg.
>>41395531>>41395558>>41395687>>41395742Cheers lads, thought fuck it and posted it. Though I can't look at that hand anymore without seeing a bloody alien kek. Maybe one of these days I'll actually try and learn how to draw anon properly so I can have him pissing about with mares.

>>41397026Shirt is lookin good. We pretty much just need a few more on the back.
>>41397520>that twi shirtruh row, I will try my best, but Anon please do not be disappointed if that small shirt drawing end up looking like stick mares.
>>41397520linky uses silver for the mane&tail, and gold+silver for the cutie mark
>>41397189Just look at a bunch of the outlines that ponies have compared to their body color and see how those colors shift relative to each other, and from their try and apply those relations to the colors you choose, and from their experiment until you find something you're pleased with.
lego amre
>>41397189I mean basically just take the interior color of that part of the body and make it darker and more saturated to get the lineart color.
>>41397875Oh shit, thanks dude.
>>41398138yeah np brother she's a cute.
>>41354708Learning how to draw, decided to take a crack at my backup character for my Fallout: Equestria campaign tonight thanks to a poster in the zebra thread. Technically learning to draw over again but I haven't seriously picked up a pencil in like ten years. My first go around I tried to draw him from the front profile but something about pony noses and eye proportions messes me up. Need to practice forms more I guess.
Are my bodies too hotdog shaped to ever recover?
>>41398322Not at all. Just make them a little shorter, overlap the two circles for their shoulders and hips a bit. You should be aiming for a sort of jelly bean or kidney bean ish shape, not a hotdog.
>>41397600Fae spotted! Hope using the silver as the 'gray' is okay.
learning how to draw, proud of this one
>>41398583not bad anon, only nitpick is her neck is a little thick.
>>41398670thanks, I have no clue how to do bodies yet so for now its just floating heads with weird necks.
>>41398752That's fine. I did floating heads for a little bit before moving on to decapitated bodies briefly, then merging them together with the techniques i learned from both for the full poner. just relax and go at the pace that's comfortable for you.
>>41396595I'm broke as fuck right now but where are you selling it?

>>41394066I thought the DRaw thread was just for taking requests
>>41393674I am not sold on the boots. Especially with how the soles seem to wrap around what would normally be considered the ankle. The way you've drawn the rear hooves here also has them pointed down like they're at full ankle extension/trying to stand on their tippy toes. We should probably be looking at the soles on their shoes. Torso on the big guy is weird. Small guy too but not as much. I think you kinda drew human midsections and shoulders but didn't really size them up, so big guy goes from >large head >yoked neck>skinny midsection with his jacket pulled in to exaggerate it>med legs>big hooves Horses are round around their barrels and this extends to ponies; your torsos should never be smaller/as wide as the neck. It sorta looks like you drew human torsos and put everything else on afterward. I think the two of them are also on the short side for horse torsos which exaggerates the proportion changes on the big guy by a lot. >good stuff Legs on the smaller horse look really good outside of the hoof angles. Pants are maybe a little tight. I think the line work overall is pretty good. The jackets are realistically baggy and I can tell what everything is.

>>41354708I know this will come off as a shitpost probably, but I couldn't resist not to edit the OP image. Although who knows, if /mlp/ will ever have a snuff general, this can be their very first OP image.
does anyone know how to get a "painting effect" like this? i've been trying multiple different blending techniques and guides to varying results but not anything close to similarlooking for how an artist like vondsketch or yidwags does it
>>41401755Don't know about YIDWAGS but Vond has posted a speedpaint about this image and it just looks like it's all in the blending, start with a simple flat color then consider a light source for shadows and the shape of the pony for where the darker colors and lighter colors should go. From there find a good blend brush and afterwards you can add some extra lighting.
>>41401755I'm gonna be real with you man, this sort of painterly blending takes a lot more skill and technical knowledge than most people realize. That's the sort of stuff they teach you in art schools. This isn't something you just figure out as you go from internet tutorials, it takes most artists a lot of serious color studies and fundies practice before they reach this point.

>>41401755Last time i asked vond said he only uses basic brushs like an airbrush and the lasso tool.from what i can see he often picks some paintings that he wants to "convey the feeling", so use tons of refs of how you would want the result to look like.
Inside me are two fillies. One is lazy, indulgent, and impulsive. The other is too, but also draws sometimes.

>>41404722>The other is too, but also draws sometimes.I do not relate to this filly
>Tries to draw but i don't like how shitty looks>It's shitty because I don't practiceHow can I break this vicious circle?
>>41405153Understand and accept that you're just going to have to suck for a while before you can get better. You can't draw good stuff without drawing a bunch of shit first. Just tell yourself "alright I'm going to draw some garbage just to practice" and keep doing that a couple times a week for a year. Then a year from now look back on whatever shit you drew today when you're starting and compare it to your most recent drawing. You'll be amazed at the progress.Also remember, you've got a LOT more practice looking at and critically judging whether art is good than you do drawing and creating art that is good.

>>41356926This could be bad advice. You generally want the main focus point of a scene to stand out and draw the eye to it. One way of doing that is to create contrast with the values. The eye is usually drawn to things of lighter value.>>41356781The painting style inside and outside clash a bit too much in my opinion, but it may just be unfinished, and I find Applejack’s contour is too sharp when compared to her surroundings. Also perhaps add some subtle highlights on the face.
>>41408272Thanks for the input! I've reworked a lot which I posted earlier >>41400359I'll look into the values between the background and AJ as I do see it is a bit too clashing. My plan is to give focus to the eyes and face but still figuring out the shadows there as of now. The background is still largely undone as I tend to focus one one subject at a time for productivity.
>>41407419>spoilerAre you freehanding these by eye? You're not tracing from a printout or something?
>>41408343I'm gonna be real honest with you bro. >>41400359 This is way overdone and looks like shit. The shadows have no consistency--where is the light coming from? Where is it hitting her body? Not only are the shadows nonsensical, they aren't even consistent (both front legs have totally different shadows. >>41356781 This was already a little overdone but looks way better.The "cleaning up" that you did with that recent Fluttershy drawing would be really nice here.
>>41407419
>>41408764100% free hand. I keep lurking back and forth on my monitor but due to lack of proper table to lay it down I kind of hold it with a carbon sandwich between to not have cross over the colours
>>41408766Thanks for the honesty! I know the shadows are shit I'm just trying to really salvage what I got right now. I get what you are saying and honestly with the fluttershy drawing I really had to clean that up. But honestly I feel like I'll need to cut my losses where I can with this piece (which I don't think is too bad but as always can be improved) so I can start on something else and take what I learned with this and my other drawing into account for my next work. For example anatomy, simplified values, clear shapes for shadows and form and really hammering down the lighting before blending the values. This is where I am now with it.
>>41408915>where is the light coming from>why is her bottom lip the only one that exists and why is it more lit than the rest of the snout>why is the snout in general more lit that the cheeks>the fuck is happening to her hindleg>where is the other hindleg
>>41408915It's not just "clear shapes for shadows" it's having the shadows make sense in the first place. You need to make a mental 3D model of the shape you're drawing, place a light source somewhere around that model, and draw the shadows across the entire form based on where that light source is placed. Like >>41409008 said:>where is the light coming from
demon mare was begging to get lewded. I put a twist on this one though.https://files.catbox.moe/kld3mx.pngstruggled with the fuckin bat wings and the shading on her ass but I think it turned out ok
>>41409219kek and very nice
>>41409219Kek, this is like a best case scenario for most anons in the afterlife.
>>41409219KEK based horny bastard
>>41409219kek Now do one where hes free
>>41409129Yeah the lighting I was going for wasn't just wokring (tried like a back lit thing but will study this further), decided fuck it and try and remake it to something more sensible. Idk too tired to keep working on it today. Gotta figure out how the light would be in this position instead.
Im going to be entirely honest I need some help learning how to draw wings better I feel like i cant get feathers down at all(Best of examples Ive made compared to the many Ive thrown out)
>>41409407All three of these look great, man. Don't overthink it, just draw the general shape of the wing and then fill it in with feathers. If you want to make it a little more complex/realistic, picrel is a good guide.
>>41407419Slowing down to just two a day so I can recover from the work burnout, but we are still pretty much on track.
>>41410100FUCK YEAH! \OcO/
>>41406410gave her a friend
>>41409237I had a few ideas already. Was thinking of having him break out and rape her. Not sure if that'd be taking things too far, normally drawing mares getting raped wouldn't be my thing. Don't like seeing ponies get hurt or anything like that. But if any pony deserves it it's this bitch, she's pure evil. Was also considering having her grow a horse cock when he caught her since it's supposed to he hell and all, but then it just turns anon on more. Idk just some ideas not sure I'll actually continue with this. Also holy shit that may be the most degenerate thing I've ever typed out.
>>41409407Look up how actual wings are structured. Then simplify.
>>41409407>>41411002
>>41410906No need for rape anon, i also don't like this sort of stuff
>>41411053Yea I think I'll just leave it be. The way I see it, since she's a demon, she just wants to torture anon and would never actually give it up consensually but I don't really want to draw the alternative
>Draw Summer Breeze thread died before I could finish my drawingThere is no mare screaming at bread distorted enough to convey my anger.

>>41411373Summer Breeze has FALLen
>>41408915Don't be afraid to really push your values and separate light from dark. I am not a pro artist so take my words with a grain of salt but if you have an AJ toy or plushie try to replicate the lighting you're looking for and copy that. this looks good though. you're clearly looking for where light would reflect and paying attention to form and detail with the fur. i get caught up in the same mistakes- don't give up
While I was on the Summer Breeze thread, I traced this because I was and still unable to draw worth a damn. Guess I should put it here and bump the thread.
Someone encouraged me to try my hand at drawing, this was the result.
>>41411850The problem isn't contrast or value depth. The problem is that his shadows are terrible.Like the nonsense shadow mid-flank. There's three ways to have it like that: something casting the shadow, the object being concave, or FUCKING UP.The last one is the case here.>>41408915Drop colors, work in greyscale until you stop fucking the shapes up.
>>41412242Gonna be redoing the shading, yes I admit and I've agreed befire that they are in fact fucked lmao. Just gotta redo it and as you say learn values better in greyscale first (and fucking study lighting and how shadows are cast). But I do think I know where to go from here with the piece but probably gonna put it on semi-hold or until I feel like I can actually make something good with it. >>41411850Thanks for the advice, appreciate it! All luck to you on your artistic journey too man.

I like drawing mares
>>41414264Woah.
>>41412212And I encourage you keep going. There's always room for more Anons here. Check out those guides on op to learn the basics. And remember, improving takes time., one little step at a time. But (You) can do it.

I absolutely hate drawing tablets. I should have never bought one. my hands are too shaky and unstable. stabilization? No matter what I do it's still fucked and shaky. I start to draw a pony and I cannot even begin. I truly wish I never even tried this shit and never attempted to draw pony. I feel only rage. I can't DO anything I just sit and stare. I draw a line and it's not what I want. I delete and redo over and over and over and over and over and over. I can't even get a head shape for a pony but with PAPER AND PENCIL it takes less then a minute. i've been at this for an hour and a half and I cannot even begin. I hate this shit so fucking much it's unreal. I am not happy drawing. I am not happy with this and every single step I take into learning or getting better tools it's less fun. I hate this and I wish I never even tried. Don't try if you haven't started. if you want to learn? don't. just go for a walk or something. Something you always hear but never understand is that you will never be happy with your artwork. you will never be satisfied and you will never feel any joy from finishing something even if you can. This is the single least rewarding hobby i have ever attempted
>>41420281>drawing tabletswhen i just started out i would put tape a paper on top of the tablet because i was too used to the friction of paper and pencilit definitely takes some practice>ablooblooif you dont like it and dont have a goal then dont do it
>>41420314I just fucking want to be happy and I just fucking want to share the ideas in my head. but no.. FUCKL YOU I guess strugfgle struggle styruggle pain pain paiun pain pain and I only feel anger. every hobby every task it all makes me furious beyond imagine. I go to work I feel only anger and hatred. I come home and feel only anger and hatred. I try to play games and it's just the same. I try to engage in this passion for creation and I feel just the same. none is fulfilling it all just makes me fucking mad
>>41420281Do you have amblyopia by any chance? My fren used to be like that, somewhat, but it was due to his lazy eye messing up with his depth perception thus making his lines go everywhere specially when he was just starting.
A bit of dress-up fun with a pinch of overprotective mum.Was trying to avoid throwing satyr at /bale/ but the relevant bread decided to retire to a nice farm upstate late in the night. Tried to be a bit more 'sketchy' with this one. Also I could have did some kind of background as it seems a bit bare, but I've too tired to keep going right now.>>41415623Glad to have helped! Made me miss all those /bale/ collabs from back in the day.>>41416389I like this floofy mare. She deserves a nice crunchy carrot.>>41418349Cute distinguished filler! The nonfilly variants you do are always nice to see.
>>41420281>>41420333I’ll tell you the same thing I tell everyone else who feels like they’ll never get better: Stop trying to be Michelangelo right off the bat. Just give yourself some time to learn and adapt, and more importantly, have fun being bad. It’s gonna look like ass until it doesn’t, and by then you’ll miss your scribbly doodles. Chances are your digital style won’t even look like your pencil style anyway.That said, I do understand. Fine motor control in particular is a bitch to train, especially on a new medium, and even the best artists struggle with drawing perfect circles unless they’re one of those maniacs you see doing fancy tricks with chalk or whatever. Just like in real life though, the trick isn’t to shoot for perfection, but instead to acknowledge imperfection and build off of it to create something you can be proud of. A wonky circle could be the best thing to ever happen to you, if you let it happen.If you’re up to it, I’d like you to draw a mare without using undo or the eraser tool and post her here, even if you think she’s the worst thing you’ve ever made. I wanna see what you can do.
Even when using references, I find myself making muzzles too long and only realizing it days later. How stop?

A digital ponkwife sticker for all your digital ponkwife purposes. Remember to give her lots of cupcakes and headpats!Probably could have did the eye differently but I kind of dig the whiteless look on this one.christ when was the last time I did one of the mane six? feels like forever. might do more of these, not sure yet.
