>>41427019Hey thanks man. Makes me very happy to see people enjoy my stuff. I owe it to this thread, i hadn't drawn anything in forever when i first posted here and the people here gave me my motivation back. I love seeing all the different kind of stuff that is posted here, and seeing people grow and experiment with stuff is very inspiring >>41427082Yep! That's my derpi tag
>>41427223dessert princess
>>41427253I'm glad to have gotten your tags right!you are really based!
A teenage Fae on a lil adventure inna wood.A lazy Fae (re)draw to end the day and greet a new /bale/ bread, plus a cameo from an OG amre.
>>41427564fae is super cute
>say cluck again motherfuckerI had to make a shitpost because high effort projects cause much suffering.
>>41427223Rarity being cute.>>41427564Love how soft your lines are. >>41427680The brain works in mysterious ways. Doing something you’ve thought about for a while now? Later. Doing something funny or humorous spontaneously? Yup. Such is life in the Zone.
>>41427623I have drawn many a mare, but Fae will always be the marey for me. I love her so much bros>>41427680>"Do you think this is a motherclucking game, Nonny? I will break into your house and hide eggs in places that will leave you bewildered and afraid. Mark my words, Anon. Your chicken choking days are numbered."I like chimkin Ponk.>>41427843soft lines make for (terri) soft mares.
boop
>>41428357Agreed
>>41427897I just understood the joke behind Terri.
One more for the guardmare set. Poor mare doesn't even have a name or a proper cutiemark, and I'm not imaginative enough to give her them.>>41427253You've quickly become one of my favourite artists. That Trixie comic you did for the draw thread was peak kino.
>>41427564>2 (two) entire maresYou spoil us anon
Digitized the pic from last thread, my ponies have been regressing :( need to study more
>>41429485The feeling is mutual brother! Your drawings always put a smile on my face
last doodle before art vacation
>>41430379I like this one, mare on the right is really cute
>>41429485What are the names of the fillies and colt?
>>41430531I want to give twiggles a pizza
>>41429485No way that is so cute.
>>41430531cute fuckinq twiqqy!
>>41429895A good reminder that I need to draw moar pones interacting. Haven't done much in that regard in a hot minute.Speaking of mare numbers, I wonder what's everyone's record for most pones in a drawing? I think mine is 12~13, but that's not counting sketch pages.>>41429485Naisu. Always glad to see happy lil families.>>41430053>>41430379Beeg mare and little mare are a cute and quite pointy point. Have fun on your break, anon.>>41430531What a mare. I like that stretchy peetzer.
>>41430531Ey Sparkle, what the fuck's the matter with you, huh? That was my goddamn pie, mare! I paid 38 bucks for that fuckin thing. Thirty eight dollars! I can't even leave a pizza out for 5 fuckin minutes without you sticking that cute little muzzle of yours where it don't belong. Unbelievable.
>>41431456Made me chuckle.
traditional hurts my hand, but I must try for the mare fair sketchbook swaps
>>41430531So cut! Now I feel the need to eat petza tonight.>>41431968Kek, she can't even fit on one page. And hol' up a second, is that whole part of her tail considered a dock? Very lewd if true.
>>41427564fae a cute, took some liberties with her mane hope you don't mind.
>>41430765I'll leave coming up with names to someone else If anyone cares enough to name them.
>>41431968Makes me think of Snake but with a giraffe instead. Good luck on you sketching!>>41432298Cute Fae! She deserves all the pets.No worries about the mane, it kind of reminds me of purple grapes. I'm curious what your thought process behind black manes is, though. I think you do a similar thing with your Anonfillers at times. It's to color black hair without actually using black, right?
>>41432679Yeah exactly, it allows for different color selections than just grey for the details as well.
Boop
particularly uninspired lately
comic format practice
Cleared the canvas at https://magma.com/invite/DXPPI_ZGpng: https://files.catbox.moe/1hh8p3.pngpsd: https://files.catbox.moe/0b4wt9.psdPrevious canvas: >>41411808Had to wipe early because I'll be leaving for Mare Fair. Just a week away! I'm so happy with this information.
>>41434021Mare Fair, just a week away! Oh wow.
Hadn't drawn Roseluck before, decided to give her some love>>41433697haha great comic bro I love that last panel
>>41434403>Beginner and low effort art thread>You post this absolute perfect pictureWhy? Not saying I'm mad at you or something but I don't get it.
>>41434545Where are the Intermediate and average effort, or Advanced and high effort art threads?
>>41434634>>41424038
>>41434634>>41359252
>>41434545I appreciate you saying that. I know artists are usually extra critical of their own work but I think my stuff is far from perfect and there's a lot I still want to improve on and learn. That being said I do feel I've come a long way since I started posting here a few months ago. I just feel at home in this thread
>>41434403Nice roseluck
How's this?
>>41435643barbie shit is garbge, just fuck off.
>>41435643>The gameYou motherfuckerNice draw except for that fucked up thing on the right.
>>41435643Seems traced
>>41435848I'd argue it's just heavily referenced.
when i drew this i had zippers in mind
>>41436327I like it
>>41436327nice floorb
felt painty
>>41436327Really nice bro. Pony is real cute and you did a good job on the sheets, I know how much a pain in the ass it can be to get that shit to look right. Like how you stylized the letters as well.>>41437184Nice twi with an interesting background. Any reason you went with a bridge?
First attempt at drawing a fully body pony. The hind legs took me WAY too long. Also her flank is a little too big. Didn't really have any pony in mind, so I decided to make one from imagination.
>>41436327that florb is so cute holy fuck
>>41437280in my mind, I was thinking about walking with a pone along a sorta riverside boardwalk Cafe area, across from some nature and such. just an excuse to get real loosey goosey since I'm having trouble figuring out where I wanna take my art
between paint doodles or sketch doodles, i think I will always prefer sketches like this to probably any other kind of doodle I do, its just ticking all my tism boxes
Who should she be
>>41437596Dump truck Cadence.Verification not required.
>>41437596oh lawdy she thicc.My wife, Twilight, please.
>>41437306not bad at all>>41437596Jesus Christ brother relax
>>41437614Oh wait, I didn't notice the wings. I retract my request and recommend going with this anon's choice >>41437605
>>41437667twilight had wings for far longer than she didn't in the show.
>>41437596Rainbowshine bro
>>41437596Best pegasus AKA Strawberry
Redrew the first thing I posted to this thread back in may. Time sure flies huh
>>41438869Nice improvement for just four months. Solid linework too, and if you're already able to get that level of symmetry when you freehand, you've got a ton of talent. If you want suggestions on how to improve, I would say you should focus on trying to get your drawings to look more three-dimensional. Your Rarity's eyes are stuck on her face kinda like decals on a flat surface, instead of following the curvature of her head.
>>41438869Awesome improvement!It's kind of funny how her tail is strategically out of frame in the old one because it can be so hard to draw, but in the new one you conquered it.
This is my sphinx character. I've been trying to work out the appropriate dimensions for her face.
>>41438869based and improvement pilled
>>41439190Thanks for the advice! I'll try to keep that in mind in the future>>41439197I find her mane in general is tougher to draw than most. Not just the shape but the coloring too, I feel like I still don't got it completely down but getting better
>>41437605>>41437667Erm what the spruce
>>41440517The neck is completely fucked I’m too tired oh well
>>41440517the welost ass kills it, only turbo coomers like this dogshit.
>>41440517nice, looking forward to this getting more work
>>41440728you have shit taste, goddamn!
>>41440737>you shouldn’t encourage an artist if they aren’t drawing exactly what you like already
>>41440785Nah shit taste is shit taste! If you like that it's fine but don't claim it's accurate as far as I'm concerned. Ridiculously Huge asses are hilarious though. They are hilarious to look at.
>>41440819i never mentioned accuracyyou’re just projecting or something i dunno mani think you meed to chill and let the anon cookif you’re like genuinely concerned that its poor design you could try giving more constructive criticism than just being insulting
>>41437306Forgot to post this one from last night.
>>41440846Some anons are just incapable of giving constructive criticism, many such cases.
A drawing from yesterday's rewatch stream inspired by a mare from Sundae, Sundae, Sundae short.
>>41441331That is golden Anon. I'm so happy Autumn Fields and Plumberry got their ice cream so they can cool off on a hot day.
>>41440851>>41441331qts
>>41427238>>41427240>>41427280Came out as total garbage. I could post what I made if you'd like to see it anyway, thoughever.>>41427843
>>41442035very nice i like the mares with braces another silver spoon appreciator my brother in arms
>>41441331That's very cute bro>>41442035I like that Rarity
Uhhhhh, so apparently washing a hand made marker design shirt requires to be IRONED before hand washing in cold water. Lesson learned I guess but at what cost. Sorry balechads, I will do better next year.
>>41442656>Tie-dyed snowpityCould be worse, I'd say. How does the back fair?
>>41442656I like the effect ditto >>41442687 lets see that back
>>41442687Mostly fine since the black marker seem to be unaffected however the OC red scarf, the blue of and Colgate got the extra blue smudge under themselves.I guess it's not THAT bad in the end, but still not ideal scenario.
>>41442656>>41442726It was /bale/ tier
>>41442656Honestly that looks kinda cool
>>41443800qt
>>41429485Ideal human-to-pony size. >>41430053Love your stylized ponies.>>41430379I’m sucker for the “reluctant accepting of affection” look and I think you nailed it.
>>41443800So talented
>>41430379The mare on the right can get it.
Did some mare-searching and been focusing a lot lately in understanding shadows and values, not a lot of work done here now but will keep going. >>41439199>blue unicorn in the cornerfkn kek.>>41440454lovely little mares>>41442726I fuck w it. >>41443800literally mesmall mares galore
>>41444987wonderful painting, what program do you use
>>41445019Thank you, I use clip studio paint (version 1 currently thinking of upgrading)
nippony twiggles
>>41445432Based. I love anime Twi, she is so damn adorable.
>>41445075Don't you have to keep paying a subscription if you want to use the new version? Nice AJ, by the way.
>>41446499
>>41444987I think you'd benefit greatly if you used a multiply filter over your background and intensified AJ’s saturation and lightness. Vice versa would also work.
>>41446022Yeah if you want the version 3 ”newest” features, kind of a scam imo. I just need ver.2 for the EX version to be able to animate since I can’t buy ver1 EX. Also Thanks!>>41446909Thank you for the input, the whole Thing is still a huge WIP so I’ll deff try out some different layers and colour corrections. Got some feedback last thread that the values on AJ were a bit too bright so I gotta experiment a bit here.
>>41430531My favourite panel.>>41431968Long giraffe is long.>>41432298The purple is really striking.>>41433627I know that feeling.
>>41446876
One last drawing before Mare Fair. Hope to see some of you lads there /)
>>41448311based
>>41448311Amarezing drawing.
do you have a personally gallery to post art or is it just here?
>>41448512some people just post their stuff just here other's also post on their booru of choice or other art website of choice.or god forbid twitter. I for example post here and on derpibooru too, out of convenience though rather than having love for the site. It guarantees that it get's to all of the alt boorus and that some people will see it. It's ultimately down to your discretion if you want to post elsewhere.
>>41448311Nice trix man! Wish I could make it to mare fair, hopefully next year I'll be there. Have fun brother.
>>41448538thanks, i guess ill use derpibooru for just art and a tumblr for lore dumps.
boopa
The bottom
Either my last post wasn't posted or my Internet's slow, so here are some doodles
>>41448973Regular bottom or power bottom?>>41449260Fille>>41449677Based amre
>>41449677Very nice. Wish that was me
>>41449677That is a good wisdom.
I'm the best artist evar
>>41451247very nice anon :))
>>41451736
>>41452360Slow day today
>>41453067Would love to see some people try to make some new op images. That would get the thread moving
heres my attempt
>>41453334Baste
>>41453067idrew something new but I'm shy it's not pointy
>>41453334Oh hell yea, good shit bro
Didn't draw in like two years or so, tried to make the M6 from memory with no reference at all and my head hurts a lot by trying to this shit. Let's play who can guess which one is every one of them. I don't feel proud at with this crap and I feel like burning the paper asap
>>41453625Easy bro. Flutter, dash, rarity along the top. Twi and aj in the middle, ponk on the bottom.
>>41453653I didn't expect to anybody to recognize them with how badly the proportions ended up
>>41453714It's rough but it isn't so bad it's unrecognizable. I know it can be hard to pick up drawing again after taking a long break. You should give it another shot with a reference. References help so much
>>41453625aj with tiny hat is adorable
>>41453753What's the difference between reference and just plain copy?>>41453801Thanks for the compliment
amre
>>41453841Just because you are using a reference that doesn't mean you have to copy exactly what you are looking at. If you are trying to draw something original, think of it more as a guide. Looking at something similar to what you are trying to make really helps your judgement when deciding where and how you want to draw your lines
>>41453841here I dug up an unfinished version of a something I made to show you what I mean
Bump
>>41452360
Hi /bale/!The usual Anon who did Pinktober didn't post it, so I thought I would gather some prompts for this year.So post any costume ideas you would like to see!
>>41455597just throwing some stuff out:Ponk dressed up as the other main sixWitchVillainCon-goerClownRaver
>>41455597Might be too close to 'witch', but I think "The FUN and FANTASTICAL Pinkie" would be a fun prompt.
doodling at mare fair
>>41455930That sounds like Pinkie dressed up as a likeable Trixie
>>41455940Pinkie would make a great street magician.
>>41433697You did pretty well. If you were to remove the words I could roughly tell what was going through the art alone. >>41434021Lots of Pinkie and Twi>>41434403Fluffy tail.
Did filly in paint
>>41456912And color too
>>41456727Rarity is not a dumb slut, she is a sophisticated and elegant mare. Nice draw tho>>41456912>>41456916Looking good. Love me some ms paint ponies
>>41457110Is that a bomb blowing up a crown?
>>41457113yea
Minty I drew with my finger while in line for the badge at Marefair
