I'm getting the muzzle's position correct right? Hopefully not making the sideways wolf error
>>43014355nah that's about right for the position also based taste
>>43014367Thank you, I'm slowly trying to figure out my own way of drawing them outside show-lite
Another Pinkie I drew. This one I'm pretty happy with.

>>43014440Wonder if theres a guide anywhere for ponies looking up like this. Always found it a little difficult myself.Also cute ponker, anon!
>>43013033Reposting here incase anon didn't see the redline>>43014355seems good and horsey to me>>43014440Joymaxxing ponk>>43015529I think there is one in the drawfag document if you look around a little. But with these poses you want to really focus on the outline outside and the shading inside since working too much with lines inside can look a little wonky from my own experience

Posting more old art i found :)
broke my 6 month record of no drawing by doodling my muse as a pony (warning for cock and balls)https://files.catbox.moe/fgr9bv.pngany critique would be greatly appreciated! the legs are certainly a bit off, though i can't pinpoint why.
>>43019137Nice cock (and balls)My only comment is that the posterior part feels disconnected from the rest of the body but maybe I'm wrong.
IWTCIS
>>43019455thank you for the input! i think you may be right, it does look off..i didn't really look for a reference and just started drawing with my dick so that's my fault. i will try to look for similar pose references before drawing next time
>>43019137>>43019981I whipping up something for you right now but I'm gonna need some time
>>43019981Hey all good not the best artist here (I am >>43017305 ) so take my comment with a big grain of salt. Anyway I wanted to discuss about drawing smut while arousing because sometimes when I am on that state of mind have some lewd ideas that loose their steam after said moment and I've read somewhere that you cannot be horny while drawing porn to keep the quality. What's your (or anyone here) take on that suggestion?
>>43019988https://files.catbox.moe/elg9cf.png this is how I would have personally done it to be honest, i tried to blend the edit in as seamlessly as humanly possible. I do prefer to give my ponies more show like asses but a little more plump and round shaped so keep that in mind. for the style of legs you draw what i did is I made them slightly less show styled and semi realistic in the hock. I'd recommend either studying the show to mimic the show style or studying artists who do legs in a stylized semi realistic way. the booty hole was a bit too big in relation to the ass so I shrunk it slightly, raised the cock and balls slightly to match the new ass height. edited the shoulder slightly too, and enlarged the dock. I'd personally recommend a bigger dock but that's more of a taste thing than anything. hope this helps
>>43020167oh wow that looks so much better! thank you so much for taking the time to do this, a visual representation is very useful!i was a bit worried about making the ass too big but i see now it ended up being way too small and not round enough haha. i love what you did with the legs, i will keep that in mind!>the booty hole was a bit too big in relation to the ass noted... it was my first time drawing a ponut so i think i got a bit too excited there>>43020043>I've read somewhere that you cannot be horny while drawing porn to keep the quality. What's your (or anyone here) take on that suggestion?i'm maybe not the best person to answer this question because i rarely ever draw and when i do, it is mainly for my own enjoyment, so i don't take it too seriously. but i think arousal to me is similar to feeling immensely inspired if not more powerful, same goes for writing too. it's much more likely for me to finish creating something if im horny than when im looking at things critically and fussing over every detail, as a result my lines are usually more confident and quick because i just want it to be done so i can use it for it's intended purpose i can't say whether the quality of your work will be better or worse, but for me it at least helps me be more productive even if i have to uh. take breaks
>>43020277hell yeah np brother. really as long as the ass isn't way bigger than the head or too disproportional to the body you're all good. I usually measure out my proportions using circles a rough measure with the head being the largest circle, followed by the ass, with the chest being the smallest to get a bean shape for pony bodies. >>noted... it was my first time drawing a ponut so i think i got a bit too excited thereits all good, a lot of the people in the fandom tend to give ponies absolutely ginormous siege gun sized ponuts. part of the reason is personal taste and or for balance since its also popular to give ponies absolute monster dump truck asses.I do hope I get to see you around more I like your style.
>>43019979Ooh, Sonata!>>43020167That new equine roundness of the rump and the arch of the back made it such a cute and perky little butt!>>43019137And I'm loving the cute face, slender, sweeping neck and the cute mane and tail! Just a very cute pony overall!
>>43015772Thanks for the redline, Anon. It helped me realize some of the mistakes I made. I drew the head too big, and I didn't quite understand the hips. I'll try to remember to work on them when I draw a human again

>>43022587I'd accept any cake from my wife! Say, why's it in her lap like that?
Anyone have a good ref for practicing gestures with ponies?
>>43022587holy shit two cakes
But what if mare... had TWO horns?Riveting revelations from the Mare Factory.And a filly as well! That's one and a half mares right there.Joking aside, just a mare and her filler getting some ice cream. Polite goth mares give me life.>>43021492Adorable valentine ponka, lunanon! Your fetlocks are always nice to see.>>43022587That look on her face almost makes me think it's a trap...>>43019122That's quite the tired pone! I can sympathize.
>>43023115oh hell yeah welcome back brother! I fucking love the experimentation with the manes and line art, the mare and filly are cute as fuck. smoochable
>>43023115It's funny how bicorn has gone from being a chimera style monster (of which, none of its composing parts were horse related) that eats husbands to two horned horse since its name is similar to unicorn. SMT does it too and makes it an evil, corrupting counterpart to the unicorn.Speaking of, I made pony versions of a handful of SMT demons a while ago. Maybe I shoudl make ones for all of the horse-like ones
Nips drew a pone a few months ago (at least going off the booru timestamp) and felt inspired to give him a shot.Not sure what his deal is but man is drawing with something in mind way easier then just rawdogging ideas. Which to be fair- having a reference usually makes things easier anyways.https://derpibooru.org/images/3681955Image I used for reference btwThe brush he uses for his stuff is honestly pretty great, I wish I could find it somewhere, it definitely seems to be something beyond default (and probably not even a krita brush)The chalk brush I'm using is pretty fun though. I forgot how nice it drew after mostly using a few different ink brushes. Feels like consistency between brushes is a little awkward as some just don't click as better as others.

>>43024458i think your mare is built incorrectly
Haven't drawn anything in forever, ended up breaking out of that with my rich factory owning old mare, Banana Cream, trying to convince (you) to sign a totally normal and fair contract to work at her banana milk factory
>>43025229You can't fool me, mare! I know you can't milk a banana!Cute art! The world can always use more mature mares
>>43023115>That look on her face almost makes me think it's a trap...What makes you think that?
>>43025516damn the later seasons were really out there with the plot and character designs

>>43023399Such a cute nerdy pone! I love your style anon, the face is so cute and expressive.
>>43027213>just make what you likeNah just had a rough day, my tism drives me to do something whatever is not popular or well receivedIt's not like I have so much to occupy my spare time
>>43027259It's okay, art is about having fun or something. I've been fucking pissed though lately so I can't draw for shit and my skills are quickly fading away. I have to find a new place to live and its an absolute nightmare because prices are insane and every listing is full of misleading bullshit and missing all the important information. I feel like I want to murder a rich person or something.
>>43027319Excelent piece of art and your life sounds quite and unfairly hard, hope you find some peace soon. (You) and every anon deserves it

>>43016185This is a really strange reach but this reminds me of something you would see in one of those early 2000s edutainment games featuring museums. Could see a mare rolling a ball out of a painting fitting snugly in one of those.
>>43031110qt
>>43031476Im glad you like it anon. I'm just a little crazy and it gets in the way of making coherent drawings, so it makes me happy when people find their own ideas in somthing i made.

Rise from your grave... And maybe reequip your items before you give your poor cleric a heart attack.Remembered a mare I drew forever ago and thought it'd be fun to revisit that idea again. Anon the Unfortunate and May Care the Save Mare who puts him back together again...>>43031940There are some things I feel 'decent' at but my cardinal sin has always been sticking to my comfort zone too much. Branching out and committing to actual poses and ideas that would take more effort than a cute mare standing around is something I'm still working on. God knows backgrounds are still something I need to just hunker down and learn properly, because mares deserve more than white voids and iffy furniture.

Love you bale. Here you go
>>43042248Yeah well kinda there was some marecock but for what I can think is a mix of being fetishy, having a slur and not the best talent on anatomy. Part of my interest to draw is really autistic and to portray some of my cringe kinks. At the same time instead of getting mad on them for not liking them or quit all together I see it like I see a room for improvement and have to learn deep inside myself that is gonna take time, effort and eat my own proudness to see my own mistakes.
>>43042523Eerie but serene and oddly beautiful at the same time, nice work anon
been a long ass time since I've done any of my country mares. I'm on a roll this week it seems.

Do you guys think this pose looks strange or makes a bad silhouette or something? I don't know if I'm being schizo or if her back leg looks funny.
>>43061116nah I think it looks fine, its quite an energetic pose.
>>43061116It's a pose that's further along the range of motion than one usually sees, which is very cool. I really like it.As far as I can tell, it totally does make sense and is logical. But my brain did make me double take and ask where and how the lowermost section of her background-most leg emerged from at that angle; so maybe that's what you are feeling as well?I can't even properly describe or put my finger on what I mean. I shoddily sketched it out and that looks fine to me as well.And again: I really like the pose; It's very seductively splayed and energetic, like >>43061167 said.And, speaking of the silhouette; I must admit that from seeing just the thumbnail I initially thought it was a seapony.
Be careful Lil Pip!I just started reading Fallout Equestria, and it's been pretty nice :>
First effort at pony art. It's alright, but I have a few self-criticisms to begin with. I freehand all my drawings from reference pictures and used an ink pen so I couldn't backtrack if it's ass.1. head proportions feel a bit too big2. I feel like I'm not really emphasizing the pony enough in this drawing with a pose that's too human-like3. I would like to make the pony's eyes, eyelashes, and face overall sleeker akin to the >>43061116I will give it another shot, but I'm working on my game jam project right now
>>43061116I, personally, feel like the pose is exaggerated to the point of being somewhat awkward. If that was your intent, feel free to ignore my shitty ms paint edit. Also, I'm basing my edit on the fact that the faint line on her back is an important line.https://litter.catbox.moe/okttn7ocikpm5ljb.png
>>43061668I appreciate the edit. It is supposed to be exaggerated. I'm not even sure what that faint line was lol, I think it was me erasing the back mane part and making it smaller.

Since it's already eaten up almost 80 hours from me, here's a shoddy attempt at a Mewgenics style Opalescence
>>43064915nice
>>43064915baste
Some experimenting with Trix
>>43064915Nicely done. I wonder if it's possible to mod in ponies to mewgenics.
>>43065277The game is confirmed to be getting official mod support and both Edmund and Tyler seem like the type that would provide documentation ln how to add in custom cat appearance assets so I don't doubt it'll be possible. Though I guess to stick with the pet theming I'd first want to see all the mane 6's pets added first (because I want to see Gummi be one of my roided out butchers that hits for over 30 damage multiple times per turn)

This sketch was sort of a "color test check" for an animation that fell to the wayside.Candy Mane and Junebug have fairly similar coat tones, so I wanted to make sure they don't just completely blend into one another.Color-wise, that is.They are free to completely blend into one another in other ways, if they want to.

Hopefully I'm in the right thread for this...Let's say, hypothetically, I'm making an horse dating sim visual novel thing. I would like to draw my little horsies in a way that they look... "normal"I don't know, I feel like every time I try to draw my characters in a sort of front facing position, I just hate it. Anyone here know a pose that'd look natural for the visual novel aesthetic?
>>43073678can you show an example of your rendition of a front facing pose? those are tricky because of the big ass eyes and the need to imply a snoot the pdf in the op has lots of different examples but standard standing, face in 3/4 would be a safe bet, just watch a couple of episodes and you can take lots of screenshots of those.often when ponies talk to each other they will stand around and sometimes move one of their hooves up or down, sitting poses let you draw the ponies gesticulating and moving their forelegs in a more expressive way so I guess you could switch those around as to not bore the player with static, stiff poniesI feel like mastering facial expressions would be the most important part and I suck at those so I can't really help you here

I will try posting again later but I will say this:>The image that I was going to send is what I consider my 3rd or 2nd best drawn character>The eyes are stylized similar to TinTin/Shinchan as a personal choice>clothing will be added laterAnyway, I'm more of a writer in this. Doing everything by myself is a bit of a struggle so I thought I'd ask. Thanks.
>>43073817Very Cool
nothing skill checks me more than doing digital for ages then going back to traditional
Random Pone. I really struggle with shading hair.
>>43074149What a couple of scallywags.As long as I work in a medium where I can sketch and erase forever, I still do pretty well on traditional.>>43074200What a cutie!I think it looks good! I really dig the brush lending texture to the hair!I struggle with coming up with or adapting non-show manestyles, as well as giving manes proper volume. Even when sketching a mane from reference they tend to end up looking sort of flat and deflated.And shading manedos is indeed a challenge, since they are a bunch of different shapes and volumes that are arranged in different depths and layers to each other, and are in some ways independent of the head shape while still having to consider and reflect the shape of the head beneath. A real headache.
First time drawing a pony (and first time drawing anything in a while)
>>43074467Thanks! Yeah, going for more "realistic" shading is tough. I've been experimenting with a bunch of krita brushes to see if I can make the process easier, but not too much luck as of yet. I guess just need to keep practicing and not be afraid of it looking wrong.
Sketch I did a while back. Stallion trying to enjoy his smoke break.
>>43075068the technical skill side of the image is very good and by that I mean the colors, line work, composition, etc, etc. but the anatomy is an absolute train wreck way too human and not pony enough. I'd recommend studying the show, or IRL horse anatomy, or the combo both, to get a good feel on anatomy and how their bodies move. the way you stylized the head and face is fine though but instead of doing a dot for her nose just do a line in its place.

Any artist here swore to never use their skills to draw porn? You could, but you wouldn't
>>43077459I could, but I don't want to. I'm just not interested in it.
>>43077459I'm in kind of an opposite boat.I feel like I really should draw some porn for the people, but I always feel scared and unqualified to make it sensual and appealing enough, so I almost never do.
>>43077397they are in my backyard.
>>43077459Opposite, I started in big reason to make it but as I'm not that good it's not my main output yet.
>>43077459drawing porn was one of my main goals in the beginning, i mellowed out over the years though, and my style got less sexually appealing and more comical

I have a bad habit of making sketches but never, ever, ever, ever, ever finish the sketches and turn it a proper artwork. How do you guys deal with this?
>>43079979I torture myself by agonizing over how "I never showed (x) thread/fic this sketch that I started for them, nor that one, or this one." hoping that the guilt and anxiety will force me to pick one of them up again.So... I don't deal with it very well.The 'sketching out your ideas and scenarios' step is just too much dang fun!
There's an idea here.... I just can't nail it down.
>>43079979its kind of a habit i built after drawing for a long while. at my core i still prefer sketching, but for readability and repost-ability, full lines and colors are always a better bet. no matter what kinda jokes, cute mares, etc i sketch, posting without them being finished is like letting it leave the house undressed, so i just go ahead and finish it up so its presentable, i guess.
Happy Anoncolt. Practicing on animation. Very rough and I don't know how to animate hair at all. I thought it was cute though.
>>43079979I don’t usually. It takes too much time and isn’t worth it unless you really like the drawing.
>>43080291I feel like this as well. I don't want to "spoil" the picture's joke/idea before it is actually fully done.But in my case, that instead leads to me almost never getting to post anything that I draw.>>43080527That is super cute, anon!The movement looks great, and the secondary animation of the eyes and mouth on the second loop add a lot!!

I like drawing pony doodles on the back of my little grocery lists before I go out.They are done quickly and on a "disposable" medium, so I get to practice doodling fast and efficiently, without going over and erasing stuff a million times (which is an area I wanna improve in), as well as seeing where my pony basics are actually at without poring over references.And as a bonus; When at the store, surrounded by humans and the real world, one can just covertly flip the list over for a quick shot of cute mare!
>>43085692Hell yeah, that’s cute! And it’s also a great way to build your confidence by committing and not endlessly tweaking/refining.

So I'm pretty much a not the best artist here (even have some shame to call himself as such) i don't feel pretty satisfied with my output and I'm tired most of the time was toying with AI (sorry) to doodle some ideas or at least have a glance of how it could look, also not much money to commission good artists. Must say that it's not worthwhile to other than some little semi realistic stuff but at the moment you want something artistic or 2D made is a waste of time where you could be watching tutorials, looking for inspiration or even fill a page with circles and cubes to sharp your own talent. In short, don't feed the machine, feed your soul and mind to do yourself the art.

Very well made!>>43090416I have messed with AI image generation. While the results can be impressive, I simply don't find it fun and does not satiate my creative itch.
>>43093216Aw, what an adorable little colt, i love him
>>43093216I hace toyed because I'm fucking autistic, shitty ideas that nobody cares and it's a dopamine injector. What do you think about using it for getting quick reference for poses, angles, etc? Like always following a self criteria and critical vision to not carry errors or make the machine do the real creative work? For instance I have an oc with unconventional features and wanted to see for different angles and such.Unrelated image this is an example made by a person and not aislop
>>43093235I have no problems with people using AI. I don’t consider prompting to be an artistic skill, but if people find it fun, that’s all good! Using it to learn and figure out posing is valid I think.
>>43093235You're over-complicating things, how are you going to know whether the ai got the pose and proportions right? I'd rather trust someone on derpibooru with a lot of mileage, you're gonna learn more if you digest a single artist and see how they approach different pieceIf you're talking about drawing your gay ass centaurs just separate all the parts into different studies, learn how to draw arms seperately, etc.
>>43093216ive used AI to make backgrounds because i'm not nearly skilled enough to draw buildings and scenery, then i just plop my character over it and admire the result
>>43093216cute anon colt
>>43090416Why would you enter an art thread to post aislop?
>>43093216Very cute colt and great animation!I just do everything by feel and dumb luck when I animate, so I haven't self analyzed enough to have any good tips.I have terribly little variation in line weight (and probably pen pressure) in all my drawings, so when I animate, lines just tend to end up very samey on their own.If your animating program of choice has an "onion-skin" function, I'm always very slavish to the last set of lines (or tween set of lines) that It displays, and I tend to end up with quite consistent results. To a fault some times.I was once actively going for a "traditional line boil" look but still just ended up with two way too similar frames, ruining the effect. Had to go back over it twice.
Hello, /BALE/. Haven't posted here in a while.
>>43093805Fuck off, this is for beginner artists only.
>>43093817>/Bale/ Beginner And Low Effort art thread>Low EffortWasn't a very effortful drawing. 'Tis a doodle.
>>43093300Out of curiosity what's the difference of aislop errors and stylistic choice or even bad habits of popular artists? And I love human made art over ai shit because has soul and heart but feels like cheating using something already done and just imitate but also as I said it's like an fast way to make technical references on anatomy or perspective but after a while toying looks like crap and doing anything creative looks like crap so yeah you're right. Like head angles are almost useful but I see fails to keep on mind some basic concepts I've developed for my character.About the centaur stuff a bit glad to get some small recognition for doing that retarded shit but it's kinda hard because I want to avoid the generic furry style and doing something more cartoony but at the same time I'm aware that some cat anatomy would do things a lot better looking so then ai shit is like a cheat code get reference in that field but yeah I'm really dumb and should try harder.>>43093259Kinda right >>43093527As someone who dislikes generative image and all the jazz can't ignore his existence and its place so time to time I like to discuss its impact to see if it's a tool or an enemy.
>>43093846There are dozens of repeating aislop generals across multiple boards on this site to have that "discussion" in. Leave it out of ART threads.
>>43093874Problem is when I say it looks bad or crap they get mad and there's no discussion. I think you're right and it's crap filling space without any realm of quality. Confession, at my work there used to be hired a lady to make ads for the store but it was discarded and now my boss makes me do shit with chatgpt instead and I feel dirty by be already engrained into this crappy era where everything is disposable and make to only generate earning, the funny thing is people don't give a shit and sales are still stale. Wonder if it's the bad economical situation or people so fed up with slop that the ads are largely ignored.

>>43094541depending on how you feel like going about it, its common to just export as a video, then using something like ezgif to gif it. exporting animations as gifs, depending on software, causes coloring issues especially with things like vector lines
>>43094541I used Tamaho2D to animate, which has a render to gif feature. Krita also has it. As for converting video, you can use ffmpeg commands if you are technically inclined.

>>43094347This is very nice.You keep good track of all the legs, as well as the relative position of the body, which is something I've mismanaged and just cheated with the one time I animated a pony turning.Her gaze, and the swoosh of the tail as well look real good!>>43096012Depending on the complexity of what you are doing and the program you're using, keyframe tweening could quickly become a hassle as well. I've come to wish I was doing things frame-by-frame instead, but at a lower FPS, once when I was doing a keyframe project in CSP.But I'd probably wish for the opposite if I actually had switched to drawing every frame. The grass is always greener...>>43094169 >>43096048Your stuff is so fucking good, anon!Again; your poses are so alive and fun to behold. Combined with your great faces, they lend an absolute ton of emotion to your subjects. Fantastic!
>>43096455Nice dubs and thank you, im kinda obsessed with making these dumb gifs.
Quick silly doodle
A dev anon over in the Game Jam thread wanted some FNaF-style foals' drawings of the m6 ponymatronics for his game, so I drew a whole bunch of them.A project where being a bale artist pays off!Trying to do different styles of children's drawings and simplifying things in different ways was a bunch of fun!Dev anon said that anyone could make some drawings if they wanted, so you could head over there and do your own if you feel like it.That was before I gave him a whole pile of them to deal with, though. But there can't be such a thing as "too many things to implement into your sub-month-deadline game", right?

>>43097247extra cute, how do you get the backgrounds to look so clean? I assume some of it is vector-based? >>43097230looking more horsey than usual, very nice>>43096048thanks, I love them!

Does this angle look right to you?
>>43097709Makes me want to experiment with different head angles
>>43097427what i did is after choosing my colors and making a gradient manually, I cut out two squares of roughly the same size using the square selection tool then deformed them a bit. then on the forward most square made a polka dot pattern and slapped some textures on them and a water fringe. fairly simple business.>>43097520based swib a cute

Another attempt at animating. Would love some feedback. I know I am relying too much on copy/pasting, makes it look robotic.
>>43101151looks fine to me, it's not as stiff as you think by the way. its also quite cute and I say this as someone who's pretty neutral on colts.
>>43101151This is very cute, I can't help but agree that it looks robotic but I've never made a gif so i have no advice to give on this one
>>43101151I agree with all the anons that it is a super cute animation and already looks good. Your faces are great, and you drawing them going through different angles so cleanly and with such consistency and symmetry is very impressive to me.I'm no expert either, but as best I can see, some of the robotic-ness might be caused by the relative snappiness of the long motion Cadence's head makes to get back to her "neutral" frames.Adding either more inbetween frames there (maybe making them "easing" frames too? I don't actually know), or adding a/some frames of inertia "bounce"; i.e. frames where the head tilts slightly behind the "resting" frame, where the neck catches up to arresting the momentum of the head.Again: these are just complete guesses about things that I have barely started playing with myself, in my own limited animating. I usually just do straight, "in the middle" inbetweens so far.And a lot of the things that one feels looks off also tends to get better just by going to more final linework. There, one tends to "disconnect" some part that were just bunched together in the cut/paste selection, and can start considering and animating every part more organically.
>>43101240>>43101398Thank you! The feedback inspires me to keep creating.>>43101736Thanks anon! I absolutely love that you spent the time to illustrate! I’ll keep experimenting with the motion to see what works. It’s possible I just need more inbetween frames. Do you happen to have any feedback on the drawings themselves? Proportions, for example?
>>43101881For instance, I can’t tell if the side profile of Cadance looks weird or if I’m just being hypercritical.
>>43101883>>43101881I'm not good at anatomy or proportions myself, so I don't speak with neither authority nor confidence. I'm quite sure you have a better grasp of it all than I do.But yeah, there might be something about Cadence's body bean that feels a little off somehow.Maybe she needs more neck, or perhaps cut more arch into the profile of her back? And maybe make her wings a bit bigger?And I'd make her knee/thigh bigger. Something like opening the line's curve up wider to imply more of the connection between the equine thigh and the rump.
>>43101736This is excellent feedback>More frames>Maintain Inertia

>>43096455And once again, thank you! It's so unbelievably fun how emotive and flexible these characters are. Been helping me limber up my art a lot.... Although frankly I think Dash's pose here could do with a bit more exageration, or just have tackled the pose differently, but eh, live and learn. Hanging on the edge of tomorrow. All that fun stuff.>>43098323WE'RE RICH!!!
Can anyoony recommend a good tutorial for procreate. There's a ton of them
>>43102651nice work anon
>>43102651Looks good! Love the expressions. I need to try experimenting more cause you are right, these characters are very flexible in how you can move and pose them.>>43102652https://www.youtube.com/@JamesJulier-ArtistI haven't watched his beginner tutorials but I like this artist. He's straight to the point, professional, and doesn't try to sell you some brush pack you don't need.
