Ponify EqG challenge.
>>42832980that's basically just drawing them normally
Workin' on another piece for Puzzle Thread. It's still a little intimidating, but I got the last one done, so...BumpSongAnon gave me another sappy song to work with, so I'm happy, I just wish I could do it justice.

oh yeah i mspainted a ziggerfied version of some meme from the zig thread
>>42833102So lovely! Please continue.
here's a random pony
>>42832980Gave it a shot. I like Sugarcoat, but drawing her hair/mane and tail (and any manes with curls, really) makes me want to an hero
Finally set sai back up for some comfort sone scribbling
>>42833996based as fuck fellow mint user. how did you manage to get it running with bottles? I couldn't manage to figure it out but I was able to figure it out with play on linux. how stable is it with bottles? I'd imagine it wouldn't be to different from play on linux since they both use wine, do you occasionally get windows call errors that pile up in the hundreds? 'cause I do occasionally and I have fuck all idea why. sorry for asking so many questions I'm just curious about another mint users perspective. nice apple nom by the way.>light modepsychotic serial killer detected jk I respect peoples theming choices.
She's not very thrilled about her sister looking for her.
>>42834454Poor Anon Colt.

>>42834495based patrick bateman, many thanks!
>>42833728Derpy homing in on your location.>>42833881Nice pony Anon! Yeah I see she got those hair twirls, those things are tricky but looks like you did a fine job.>>42833996>>42834221What the hay, you two use Mint too?? That makes three of us, huh!>>42834281Poor Luna is looking a little scuffed, I hope Celestia just wants her for a hug.>>42834454Sad truth... I know at least anonstallion thread has some appreciation for the lil guy. They'll look after him.
>>42834566YO based got ourselves a little mint party going in the thread! it's a nice simple distro that just works with little to no fuss and reminds me a lot of windows 7.>>42834281almost forgot to give you a (you) nice expressions on those moona's>>42834454rip anoncolt alone and forlorn
>>42834617Thanks. Moona is my go-to silly face maker. Unfortunately I cannot join the party as I use Debian.
>>42834624hell yeah brother based, no worries you're still using linux and debian is a solid respectable choice. I mean ubuntu and there by extension mint are forked from debian anyways, so without debian they wouldn't exist in their modern forms.
>>42834646Didn't know that.
>>42834663nice pre fim draft twiggles, kind of a good idea they didn't stick with that cm I can already see an ocean of humanized twilight as an arab from tumblr in my mind. ye ye debian is the second oldest still maintained distro and it's very popular to use as a base for making a distro. the only other distros that come close to it is slackware, followed by redhat, and lastly arch.
big head ahh Trixie>>42833102another banger brewing>>42833728cute mouldy cupcake pony>>42833881cutie>>42834454furtive anoncolt... so easily forgotten>>42834624great sketches anon, loving the expressions>>42833996nice appuls, really liked the one from the previous thread as well
>>42833881I love you.
Been playing Cyberpunk lately. Almost forgot to do my bi daily art post. Lazy one today. Was wondering how I can make her look more marely.
>>42837040Pretty and cute anon.
I tried traditional sketching for the first time in years. It's actually a lot of fun and just feels more natural and better all around. I do miss the thickness of my stylist though.
>>42837040very blue
>>42834726She's ever so slightly fluffy, very cute!>>42835979Take a look at pic related Anon, for a more marely look you'll need to curve the jaw from the tip of the snoot. I wish you luck in your quest for marely mares!>>42837040Hoof touch! This is a nice lil chilly scene.
Plone Mare I did for anon in /Plone/
>>42838669based
>>42838465I am not used to drawing cartoonish stuff that have less strict rules in making them. I will study da mare more now lately to perfect it. (Also gotta keep an eye on line thickness).
Trapped in a rushed little sketch forever

>>42839673good wifefe
Don't think I shared this one yet.
>>42840219Reminds me of the Grinch
>>42839437I know that feeling, push through it Anon! I believe in you and your mare! Even for me it can be hard to get past the sketch phase.
>>42839437that's when you gotta start filling it in and fixing on the go
>>42833102Complete! I spent so much time fiddling around with it... I need to better learn to just let it be sometimes I think. I've done what I could in any case.
>>42841748This rules
>>42841748hell yeah brother looks good
>>42841748Genuinely really nice
Made another Derpify. This one came out really good.
>>42842143cute if true
>>42842187Why would not be true?
>>42842220I just like typing s illy things. :)
Working on a little comic, haven't really drawn fillies before. Wdyt?>>42841748>>42842143I really like both of these, they're cute
>>42842604Thank you! I love turning random images into derpy. It’s kind of my obsession.
>>42841748So cute!
>>42842604chikun
Should have posted this in here, too.
>>42843676beautiful
been a while since i doodled
Anon gets to be a jester
>>42844102And every time you do it's pure sovl
>>42844102THE LUNA HHNNNNNGG
Overall, I think I did better last Pinktober but there are a few days where I went "all out." I would post the version without text and spare you the cringe. Unfortunately, I forgot to color some things.
>>42806482Glad to hear it, Poseyfren! That's a real cute Pose you drew, too. I'm sorry for not posting much, or anything at all, really. It's been a turbulent couple of months, and I just keep getting distracted, but I'm trying.
snowpone bump
First digital semi-serious sketch (or lineart at this point? idk). He's meant to be mid-walk. I also dont know why he looks so... young... not intentional. Eyes are also a work in progress.The mares.horses site is very convenient with all the references
i am once again asking how the fuck do you draw clothes
>>42846315i meant to post without color fuck
>see this walking down the street What you do?
>>42840106I love this thank you Anon, as someone who doesn't always have the most confidence in their art this is a really nice message.
felt like drawing something a bit hornier than usual
>>42847160Amazing. Wonder what that cutiemark means.
>>42847211her name is cuddle-up comfy so it most likely has to do with cuddling
>>42847229A heart and a pillow… some could speculate other talents…
>>42846200Pretty nice. I'd guess the shorter legs make her look younger.
>>42846200she looks young because of the proportion of the head, body, and legs. Heads do not grow much, body grows a fair bit, limbs grow most of all as far as dimensions go. So a smaller body and longer legs relative to the head would make it look older. t. Trust Me
>>42844260He was lonely
>>42847432Amazing.
Do it, little artists! Draw, draaaaw!
hi bale thank you for feeding rainbow dash the other week and sorry for abandoning her here for so long, and now I have to rest for more waging again tomorrow so I drew you the dash portion of appledash and phoned in the rest because i'm tired
>>42847160Thanks again for drawing her bro, I'd love to see you draw more sexy mares you are so good at it!>>42847211I designed that pony for secret santa, can confirm a pillow was just the first thing I thought of when trying to come up with a mark to represent cuddling. You're not the first one to speculate other talents, she's the first oc I've drawn lewds of for the event this year
>>42847432kino, I love your art!
>>42847963ye ye np

Random bullshit. Drawing really stretched pony heads and then unstretching them to see if they look normal is fun. >>42847430Triskie>>42847814She looks very content with her Appul cardboard cutout.>>42848140This is really comfy. She's a cutie.
Yeah.
>>42848140muy bien, este es excelenteme gusta los coloresinvierno, un snowpity grande
>>42847372>>42847389Thanks for the help! Seems obvious in hindsight.>>42848405Why are they in so much despair?
Wasn't sure where to post this, I was worried people on /jp/ might have a shitfit if they see a horse so after looking around I think this may be the proper thread. I've been thinking of ponifying some Touhou characters for a while and finally drew one today. This is ponified Tsukasa Kudamaki.
>>42849187You most certainly would've been banned, posting pony outside of MLP is a banable offence everywhere but here. Welcome to /MLP/ though and welcome to bale! She came out pretty good, I'd have to assume you have previous experience with art in general based on your results? I'm gonna assume you're new to drawing ponies specifically?
I draw a stallion once every full moon. Does this pose look strange to any of you?>>42849141It was funny to me.
>>42849242Aw thanks a bunch! Yes, I draw as my hobby in my free time. Normally I'm practicing female human figures and trying to improve. I actually used to draw ponies on occasion from like 2012-2014, usually for friends who would ask me to draw their OCs, but this is my first time drawing a pone in over a decade now. My family has been watching through MLP and they kind of pulled me back in, I keep having invasive thoughts about how certain Touhous would look or act if they were ponies. And also getting the songs stuck in my head...
>>42849345yeh np, with a time span that long its basically akin to starting over again lol. she came out cute by the way.>>My family has been watching through MLP and they kind of pulled me back inholy hell your family sounds so fucking unbelievably based.>>And also getting the songs stuck in my head...yeah that sounds about right the show had a lot of catchy tunes and generally good music.I'm not too sure if you're gonna learn much here in bale considering you seem to have a solid enough grasp on what you're doing. besides some mild refinements here and there, there isn't much to criticize and most of it would be mild nitpicks/suggestions at best anyways. I do hope you decide to stick with drawing ponies 'cause it'd be neat to see where you go considering that pic is a very solid starting point. but still there are resources in the op you can check out if you feel like it and maybe you may find some of it helpful. hope to see you around!
Alright Anons… I’m finally caving in and starting to learning how to draw… I tried art loosely a few years back but kinda got stuck since I didn’t really know how to configure my tablet as well as what program to use so I thought I’d ask here for some somewhat beginner friendly program recommendations! I already read though the guides OP sent but I feel like first hand reviews will always beat some paste haha
Cleared the canvas at https://magma.com/invite/DXPPI_ZGhttps://ponerpics.org/images/7389113png: https://files.catbox.moe/er8zwl.pngpsd: https://files.catbox.moe/it2xkp.psdPrevious canvas: >>42801522
>>42849921these days, as far as free stuff goes, krita, a stolen copy of paint tool sai, or even ms paint are pretty much all decent for starting out. a lot of people use CSP, me included, but since its a subscription basis id stick to the free stuff until you get in gear for drawing more and frequently
Another attempt at dialog.>>42850975oops...
>>42850982She looks so done
hay, unimaginable consequences, just wanted to say that I loved the new episode
>>42852997Ded
>>42853569I can't believe bale died... (thanks for booping the thread.)
>>42853631Hell yeah brother gotta make sure my threads are bumped cute amre
>>42853569
I have decided to study butts using references. This butt is based on the Clopician video of Twi sucking her brother's cock, but the perspective is a little different and her front hooves and head are replaced with a silly doodle.
>>42854536Looks good to my amateur eye, maybe make the hoof closest to the viewer a bit biggeralso I always thought his nick was cloptician like in optician kek
Saw that picture of pre banishment Luna from another thread and tried to give it more art. I heart Luna!!!
>>42854536This sentence made my day.
>>42854417
painting is tough bros
>>42854742Great composition here; Colors, light, background.Lovely picture!>>42855368Ye! I'm way too used to lines and contours, so every time I experiment with shaping things solely with volumes of color, my brain can't quite deal and it never coalesces into anything good.You did good here, with clean distinctions between stuff and things like the depth in Anonfilly's hair and all her facial features!
thread died before that anon answered me what changes he wanted so I'll just post a fixed up version hereany pointers? I feel like my shading is holding me back, I gotta figure out a way to make it less messy but I really like doing everything with paint brushes and a blender>>42854742I really like how yours turned out, I didn't have the balls to keep her bald kekwhat brush did you use for the background?>>42855368It's all bout the sketch and then use big blobs of colour to outline your shapes (it's kinda breaking some rules but I feel like it's easier than starting with the shadows) and then use darker tones to add depth, blend them lots (don't look at mine, I'm probably fucking some things up, digital painting on derpibooru has some great examples)I feel like you got it figured out, you just need to keep going and use a blender brush more, If you're using clip paint I can send you some nice brushes
it's supposed to be picrel if anypony wants to join in
>>42855968imminent smooch
Do the body and mane/tail color on this guy look alright? I feel the mane/tail need to be adjusted but I can't seem to get anything that looks right, to me at least
>>42855526thanks>>42855745i usually do some level of sketch first, but i tried to rawdog it to see if i could manage. i do use CSP but im fine on brushes, i was just kinda using something i wasnt used to for funsies
>>42854640Thanks and you're right, the hoof needed to be bigger for the perspective or foreshortening or something. I also changed her front hoof and added a couple details.
>>42855154
>>42856891
trying to draw traditionally is so humbling, I even caught myself tapping the paper to undo, It's so over for me
>>42838669Plone & Hoss PV238
>>42856210I don't know the exact science but something feels off, maybe make either the body or the hairs a tab bit brighter
I didn't know what to draw, so I've been sketching Marble from saved references.>>42855968I really love your brushwork and lighting. That's awesome. also unf
>>42857554I feel you on that, you did alright though you draw very appealing faces by the way.>>42857834mibble mibble mibble mibble. nice marbs.
>>42857593Bumped up both, the mane moreso than the body. This looking a bit better?
>>42857286
why is /bale/ magma dead?
