I wish I had finished this by now, but since I haven't, I can ask for some mare suggestions. These placeholder mares and two or three more are going to be replaced with background mares.The only one I'm sure about is that I want to add Lyra strumming her lyre, but the rest could be up to (you)!

I'm in need of some help and I feel as if someone here has probably gone through as well so here it goes.

I'm struggling to pick out a brush that I like and end up changing constantly which is starting to get me unhappy with drawing. I end up liking one to hating one to changing brushes and then going back to it again, and I'm not sure how I should go about approaching the problem. It feels really unimportant but it really does change how an art piece looks (pic related is an example). Any suggestions?
>>

I'd say just keep switching it up and just have some fun with it. you are under no obligation to use a certain brush, hell find some brushes online and add them in even. other than that its all you boo.

Trying to come up with a ponysona/oc/fucking shameful self insert without using the typical disheveled mane that most people use in the community or at least give it some kind of spin to not be so boring. I have some troubles to draw the hair in the front position because I began by the profile angle. Any suggestion? I'm kinda lost of how to advance with the idea.
>>
>>41783082
Not really I don't have any fetishes that cannot be serviced by what is currently available on the boorus, and while I found it fun to experiment with lewds I didn't find it rewarding enough to warrant continuing to do so. It'd doesn't help that I'm just not horny enough to have anywhere remotely close to a consistent output, and on top of that I literally cannot get aroused by my own work at all. I don't care enough for the attention/updoots drawing porn would bring either so I just don't have any real motivation to draw porn. I don't mind drawing some for close friends though depending on what it is.

What I mean is I really like your drawing style.
>>
>>41782341
Porn artists that get aroused while they work and indulge it typically switch to drawing solely to get aroused not unlike alcoholics who work only to buy alcohol, so their art quality immediately plummets - it really doesn't take much refinement for arousal, and quality is no longer the goal, so they just give up on it.
So only artists who have enough self-control to not indulge the desire to draw (or write) one-handed end up noticeable, while gooners self-isolate into goon caves with other such degenerates.
>>41782243
That will happen to you.
Unless you augment your lacking self-control with embarrassment staying your hand - and avoid any groups telling you that it's fine (it's not fine, they just want to share the misery they wallow in).

It's something I made for my waifu and to see a giant cock over it is basically saying that's all it's worth. and why did he have to use my space there's 4 other canvases clop for example would have been better. thought it was the one rule not to draw over peoples' stuff. so, screw you, I will be mad about it
>>
>>41782341
Of course I am, but then it's more by passion and interest of the details of the drawing and everything around, the composition, the face, the expression, it's more like giving life, from the pupil details to the shape of the character's urethra and other aspect of the anatomy. Even as a teen I never managed to really fap to my own hentai-inspired drawings even when they were done but it's true, it is a huge motivation to create and get good.

Drawing porn comes to a point where my perfectionism takes over, and I'm trying to get the anatomy right. Rather than being horny and seeing porn, all I'm seeing is getting the shapes, shading and coloring right.

Who wouldn't? Think about this, ask yourself how good would you be if you started ten years ago. Sure you don't want to ask yourself that again in ten years, do you?

>>41786494
Really fast horse. Don't matter how bad it turns, every piece of art you make is gonna be somehow better than the previous.
>>
>>41786494
I feel this often, but keep going and one day you'll surprise yourself.
I have this one piece that I was really invested in and worried it wouldn't turn out the way I wanted. And when it turned out better than I could have imagined, it blew me away, and still does to this day. It was the first piece of my own work that I ever printed and hung up on the wall next to my desk. And I keep looking at it every day to hype myself up to keep going.

What do you do when don't have the energy or desire to draw?
The last time I did it was in February of last year.
How can I draw again?
>>
>>41807906
energy, desire, waiting for the right moment, or to have enough skill to execute something are all fleeting motivations to draw. The only real way is to have some consistency by setting a time to draw that you can commit to.
My cheat code is to wake up early in order to have some time before work when I haven't spent the days energy. Your mileage may vary.
>>
>>41807906
I will second what this>>41807951 anon said, you absolutely need to find a time every day that you can draw. If you're drawing pone, try to just get some basic sketches down every day, especially if you're a beginner. I got six ponies done Friday and told myself i should try to beat that number on Saturday, so I drew eight ponies yesterday. I could've done way more but I was slacking around with vidya.
Again, it's all about finding a time and making yourself do it. During the first few days I didn't feel like drawing, but now I enjoy it.

if you dont want to draw you dont have to, its not like anyone is gonna give you an F on your report card.
that being said, if it comes from a lack of inspiration or discipline, the only way down the path is to take some steps. get a sketchbook, join the magma, find a thread and make oc for it. as you get the ball rolling, having fun, youll want to do better and more and people will give you (You)s and youll make friends and itll snowball into a great time

Need some design help Bale, should I add cross hatching on the pones or leave em minimal? I feel like I want the dicotomy of detailed cross hatching by the more simplistic depictions of the pones. Did a little bit on Rarity but I feel like it could look better if i leave the ponies with just a small amount of shading to make em stand out in the forefront.
>>41807467
great work on the clothes man, good improvement from your other artworks.
>>41807906
At some point with everything discipline needs to be implemented. Also ask yourself why you want to do art in the first place. As the other anons said take some time each day to just draw somehing, even if you have 10 minutes just get the pen moving. Un-dramatize the act and just try and get working, you'll probably find it enjoyable.

1) try to understand "form" and visualize the 3d shape of what you're coloring, and the direction of the light
2) use both soft and hard-edged shadows/brushes to accomplish this
3) widen your dynamic range/pump up the contrast in your shading and use as wide a range of values as you can

>>41810965
By continuing to draw. You will get faster at drawing as you become more experienced in it. When I started it would take me two whole weeks to finish a single drawing, and now I am down to 3-5 hours.
Additionally, learn to let yourself accept "good enough", and learn when you need to adjust your original idea for what your skill allows.

We might be a part of some kind of chud-hivemind, kek. Her rump is pretty nice. And yeah I feel yah, being sick sucks. I tend to lose my sense of taste and smell, which makes me miserable and unmotivated to do anything. I'll be looking forward to your Posey rear drawing when you get around to it though! I hope you get better soon, fren.

anyone else have a hard time drawing the back legs? I know practice is the only way to get better, i just want to know if anyone has tips as to get the proportions/curvature correct. hooves are awkward to draw since they get bigger as they get closer to the ground

I tried and feel pretty shit on my first attempt took me a solid 30 min to push this out
Anyone have a good guide on how to use procreate? Whenever I move the apple pencil to the side slightly it fucks up and tries to smudge...

I don't see anything very wrong, but as for personal style choices, I think the eyes would look better with pupils.

Subjective but imo face is generally a bit too wide, think it would look better if the whole head was squished with a transform tool. Other than that I think she could benefit if you differentiated between the hooves and hind legs a bit more, right now the hind legs kinda look like stumps which is fine when the ponies are standing upright but when they're on their back like that I usually prefer if their hooves are bent a bit, similar to how you did her front legs. Looks more organic since she probably wouldn't be sticking her hooves straight up. Overall that is a cute oc though bro, good color scheme and the gradient thing you got going on with her hooves is nice. I'm wondering if she should be a pegasus since it looks like she's lying on a cloud?

The back legs look pretty stiff. Bend the hoofs more and keep the leg straighter to simulate horse legs more

Cute OC, was only gonna do a sketch but your colour palette got me to experiment painting with desaturated colours. She/He got a name?
>>41813648
Looks to me like it was worth the money
>>41814121
Such a soulful scene, lovely appul.
>>41814537
What really helped me was studying the skeletal anatomy of real horses and then how the show treats it. Also great anons here giving me specific crit. I'll link some guides and theory
Crit on my previous work going over my mistake of thinking their hind legs are like ours:

A general guide to hind legs I had saved:
https://files.catbox.moe/lhgd40.jpg
As for the hooves getting bigger you'll get a more intuiative sense of it the more you practice and observe.
>>41814641
The one thing I'll mention is the lines inside the neck, I know which anatomical part you are referencing but I think for your style it could be better to omit those two diagonal lines.
>>41815414
Philosophical piece. Good work anon and we all have things to improve on but don't forget that appreciation of the small victories in your journey.

>>41815637
You're shading below the nostrils like they're on a nose and mouth is in-line with the eyes, rather than in-lie with the nose on a snout.
Don't.

Adorable Evanescence hors.
>>41815637
What >>41815693 said, otherwise it's a nice drawing, but the snoot looks like a human nose.
>>
>>41815693
perfect, always seem to struggle with the snout shading. Thanks for the heads up will correct later.

Tried to fix it, went so so imo but atleast now I won't make that arguably easy to spot mistake again in the future. Been jumping between pone and human art so think it got a little crossed in my mind while painting.
>>41815707
Thanks and as mentioned before my pones will have snoots not noses in the future lol.

>>41814605
Nah anon you should be proud of that if it's your first attempt. Don't get hung up on how long it takes you to make stuff, especially as a beginner. I've been drawing consistently for almost a month now and it still takes me ages to complete just a preliminary sketch. Our brains are like muscles and they need to be trained regularly before we can expect efficiency or anything approaching optimal performance.

By the way, be proud that you have the balls to put your stuff out there already. I'm still struggling to do it even though I'm at the point where I'm starting to like some of the things I draw and I know it will help me improve faster.

Thank you for the encouragement, anon.
I really would like to get good at this and I made it my new years resolution.
I tried experimenting with some pressure/ line shading with this doodle.

thanks it was probably the hardest thing for me to color/draw besides the BG .. i wanted to make it as life like as possible
>>41812845
i wasnt always good at art it took me a year to get to where i was
my advice is to reference and trace from the actual show for practice until it becomes muscle memory
>>
>>41816323
If you don't mind, how did you get good at eyes and shadows? It really makes that piece pop.

looks nice
