>>43186691It's nice to see equestria neue font being used.
Nice, /sun/day edition /bale/.
>>43186746what a happy coincidence
>>43170942Ok, I might have picked the easiest path by drawing this perspective, but I tried to have in mind the small snout idea here, I am satisfied with the end result, however I've noticed I might be drawing my ponies too slim and neck too tall.
>>43187329UUUNNNFF SWEATY PEGASUS MUSK
>>43187329slim and tall, aka lanky, are a valid style that I like quite a bit. I think fleetfoot's head is proportionally a bit small here and that's what's throwing you off.
i feel luna
>>43187389I, too, feel Luna.
>>43187389>>43187436
>>43187495draw your reaction images please? even if they are shit it'd be significantly more based.
>>43187361Thank you, anon, I’ll pay more attention to my proportions next time, i do agree with the head being a lil bit too smol>>43187331Imagine shoving your face in there
>>43186746>chest floofI’m sick of furfags trying to invade /mlp/.Horses do not have “floof”, they have WINTER COATS and HAIR.
I should kill myself I think
>>43188142how often do you draw? i could understand if you you drew 100+ images per year but if you only do like 10 then whats the issue?
>>43188142the curse of only drawing shit in 3/4's is a strong one indeed. use references, do different stuff, and youll quit stagnating
>>43188148like a couple of times a week I guess>>43188321i do other perspectives sometimes, frankly i just think i hit a cognitive limit a long time ago and no amount of effort can overcome it, adhd is a true disease that needs to be cured
>>43188386yeah that'll do it, if you want to make more progress its gonna take higher volume on top of what >>43188321 recommended. I did daily draws for my first year of drawing and made a fuck ton of progress that way. then near daily draws the 2nd year as well, I slowed down recently though. went from this https://derpibooru.org/images/3197656?q=artist%3Ascandianon to this https://derpibooru.org/images/3521170?q=artist%3Ascandianon in about a year and a half roughly. remember to experiment too cause trying new shit out and stepping out of your comfort zone is important for growing.
>>43188142I think your art is still good, even if you don't feel you've made much progress over the years. I like the Super Saiyan alicorn.
>>43188142That's more or less how my art journey is feeling as well.But in my case, I know it's because I'm lazy and comfortable, and don't put much active effort into learning. So I try not to beat myself up too much over it, like >>43188148 implies.I'm more angry at myself for all the fun idea sketches that I never get back to finishing.
>>43188321It really is a strong curse.Anyway, here's Applejack.
>>43188477I've tried, it doesn't work for me. adhd makes it impossible to function, I've nearly had aneurysms before at my desk trying to make my hands move without success, I need a cure for it to stand even a chance at improving. >>43188495I've made one months worth of progress over the course of 12 years, its pathetic.
>>43188142I wanted to adopt the cripple colt. He's precious
Quick bump of Lyra>>43189167Omc Applejack Hi
>>43188142I think you've vastly improved.
Bumping with a changeling who just couldn't shoulder all the work and responsibility that came with an Applejack disguise; realizing that dropping the act and being honest is less frightening than walking another day in the farm mare's hooves.
>>43188142>I should kill myself I thinkWhy?! Your art is incredible! I absolutely love your anonpony stuff, they’re all so amazing.
>>43190406very nice
>>43190988nice work anon she learned a valuable lesson indeed
doodles.Hopefully I can get some momentum again.
>>43190988that sounds like the premise for a really funny episodeor a green
Used the Random Pony site to get a mare to draw. As it turns out, Minty Bubblegum is just a Lyra reskin.
>>43191564Oh my goodness! So cute and comfy!Your style is always so nice to look at, anon. I love it!>>43191775Many such cases.
>>43192158Archer?
>>43192168No, that's Night Light lmao
>>43192171Unless you're asking me if I'm Archer, in which case that's double no
>>43191775Glass ball on the CM should be bigger if you draw her again.Currently looks like a salt shaker CM.
lines for my OC, Clownpuke
>>43192206why's that her name, anon? does she puke confetti?
>>43192206tbqh anon both the name and artstyle are pretty fucking cringe. like tumblr level :/
>>43192213damn...
>>43191564I wish I had this much soul in my art
>>43191564welcome back, its great to see your kino again>>43192167nice derpi brother
>>43192840Thanks. I wish I had a muffin right now.>>43193012Christ, that's cute.
>>43193012very nice
>>43192158Those two are so precious together!>>43193012Tiny Desk Mare!>>43193573Sweeb encounters the strife that always stalks alongside the joy of drawing.
excited
Saw the wizard mare in the updated credits section of the mare fair website and decided to draw her. She didn't seem to have a visible cuite mark so I just cheaped out and gave her a small Leo constellation for one to match the observatory theming.
>>43194064whoa whoa whoa he looks so naked
>>43194064He's such a cutie! I can never get enough of his stocking leg markings.I dig the Lyrapants and other cursed artifacts he has in the back.>>43194150What a forward mare! Poor anon's boner went straight to his head!She'd better hope Trixie doesn't see her, or Trixie is gonna be mad that she's trying to steal Trixie's style!
The Filly is tired.
>>43192206I like clownpuke, anon :)
>>43195059Holy kino
>>43195059very nice brother
>>43195062Kind of ya to say!>>43195241Thank you bro!
I wanted to draw in Unimaginable Consequences' style, so I made this Minuette gif.It was supposed to be a quick doodle, but I got carried away and ended up spending quite a while on it.
>>43196083That looks fucking sick, anon
>>43196083That is pretty awesome.
>>43196083nice work anon
>>43194150whoa I love it, what a great draw
bump
>>43197263based bump
NOTHING to do at work, drew this.Based on >https://x.com/insaneposes/status/2047013036876079105?s=20
>>43197940The Tavi is pleased.
having some fun.
>>43197940based nice work>>43198404pure kino as always, love your shit dude
>>43197940This is a very pretty and evocative scene, anon! The hatch shading is very nice.Though I will nitpick that the perspective depth of the concert hall is a little bit hard to make out, so it looks a bit shallow and flat.>>43198404Your ponies are always so incredibly cute, even when they are just a pile of guide lines. It's crazy.I love how into her little dance she is!
>>43188142Personally I think your art is great, but I understand not seeing anything good in what you yourself produce. Love your Anonpony stuff.
>>43198673Thank you ^:)>>43199376Thank you the critique, anon! I'll see if I could remaster the image in digital (And work on the perspective of the subject, too).
>>43196083That’s funking amazing! You really captured my style ,the thin legs, the eyes, and the line art. The background with the pink sky and peach clouds is especially impressive. Thank you!
>>43199701Thank You! It was a lot of fun to do!My doodle-fu confidence is poor though, so there was some guide layers and quite lot of time and fiddling behind it.Backgrounds and perspective is something I'm slowly working on right now, so it did get some extra love.Minnie is such a very blue mare, so I wanted to create more contrast than the blue sky I tried first. You use some rad sky and cloud colors now and again, so I took inspiration and experimentally went with a much more chromatically intense sunset sky than I've ever tried, and it turned out really cool.And I wanna emphasize the fairly evident: that I drew it because I really like the stuff you do! I love your animations and your art! Keep on trucking, king!Nice that architect anonpone gets to be happy together with Whoa, the biggest price of them all.
doodling is quite fun
>>43200080Lovely, anon, especially the eyes.
Puppetry wizardry
>>43200381nice
boop
Did a planning sketch for the Fun Raiser painting I'm doing for this year's mare fair. Got the colors picked out and everything so I should be good to go to start working on the full canvas
Drew this for the puzzle thread. Drawing is hard and I get so frustrated when attempting to redraw lines to something I like. To be fair, I'm newish to it, especially with draw tablets. I maybe drew like 100 ponies over a year.
>>43201477based its a solid start
Will finish by end of today, gtg rn.Hair pin curls added last minute, yesterday thought just keep the hair wavy.Hind legs are an absolute disaster, (sitting position), will need work.
A quick absurdist thing
>>43198404Very nice movement!Look at your frame here! Such a bold line of action; leaning into her motion!It's good inspiration to try for more dynamic poses myself!>>43201446Oooh! That's a cool project, anon!>>43201477You really got the mane and tail volume dialed in, and that gives a lot of cuteness factor!I still tend to make those way too "deflated".
>>43202171This is lovely anon, if you keep focusing on these gestures every other thing you study will be more appealing.
>>43202186IT'S NOT MINE! Sorry! It is a frame from anon's animation, that I was commenting on!I wish I was making gesture studies like this.
>>43202189Well my point still stands, your taste in selecting it shows you are looking for the right visual information.
Pink grind
>>43202025All of these 'Rarity in royal clothing' images are very nice! She looks very self assured!Drawing all the fancy gowns and accessories onto a pony is something I haven't fully braved yet. Rarity certainly is the one to do it with!Yes, the cat/dog style sitting pose must be tricky to make look right. I've never drawn a pony doing it, much less while trying to look dignified, so I don't have any tips. >>43202099This is super cute, anon!The reversed label on the barrel's far-side and the dark color strokes where our view passes through more glass is fantastic!>>43202227HumpNon filly>>43202336What a gang of cuties!I really like your lines and shapes! Very clean and appealing stuff! Though, some of the 3/4th's angle ones feel like their eyes are a bit too far apart for my tastes.I'm envious of your dedication to grind all those poses and angles. That's the kinda shit that lets one git gud!I also enjoy those bonus parts that that one over there has.
>>43200080I love her eyes not being the usual shape, it really makes this funny and appealing. Gonna color? I feel like the lines are really lively so maybe keeping the sketch is good and coloring with multiply or underneath on a layer.
Like four hours to get this shit, the only advantage is that I learnt a lot of how to use the software how to resolve some troubles and I like how live feels despite the glaring errors and nonsense in some parts. Maybe I should have aimed for something simpler
>>43203093animation is hard as fuck as well as learning a new software. time well spent.
>>43202025I GOT DRUNK! I CANT FINISH THIS TOnight! I AM SORRY! БOЖE ПOMИЛУЙ I'M SOOORRRRRRY
>>43203456WWWHY? OH WHYYYYyYYŸY MUST I BEWEEEEEE SUUUUUUUUCHH A BATHETIC DRUUUNCKARDDDDDDDDDD????Papитииииииии пaмилyййййПaмилyй ПAMИЛУЙЙЙййййййййй
>>43203456>>43203463brother relax the only pressure you have to complete this on a time schedule is from your self. just relax and enjoy your night, refresh yourself and come back to it in the morning or when ever you got time and then do it. you can choose to finish shit when you think its ready when its a draw for pleasure.
>>43203492Bbbbbbut my Rarity ,,,,,, she But she hhhhhHATES MEEEEEE!!!!!!!IN..instead of ddd drawing her I got drunk at a buddies weddddding....Rarity HATES adrian.....RARITY HATES ME She wants me gone from her life....

Drew a Ponk for something>>43195059thank you friend, she's hit or miss. I appreciate the art very much!!
>>43203552qt ponk
>>43203463>>43203513>>43203543If it makes you feel any better, this is exactly how Rara would act too!
I don't see a /mare/con thread anymore so I'm going to post this here.
>>43203723Cute!
>>43203723nice work
>>43203723Blessed donkfag
Donk spin test, might draw more frames in the future
>>43204322Look at her go!
>>43203388I think is easier to just make frame by frame with some in-betweening and less of the puppet tool. I did this pretty fast compared with the previous try and with a mayor clean could be pretty good to the eye despite not being perfect.
>>43204485I agree, that was the first lesson I learned as well (using transforms instead of puppets but same difference)
>>43204504Something useful is not spent too much time or effort in shit that is only on screen for one or two frames (less of a second) and more in the whole motion and the key frames. Or that what I feel about something like one person or fast projects. Even in professional stuff is a common norm.
>>43202336What a Great and Powerful looking horse you have there.
Update... I feel that it's kinda better now. Not perfect but worth the effort
Sometimes I just forget how to draw ponies>>43205227Cute Cellies!
>>43205227hell yeah nice>>43205795looks pretty good to me brother
Consistency is lost
>>43206639These lanky ponies are beautiful, anon!And huge rapier anon looks great too!
>>43206639Oh, and also: I get big Tove Jansson (of Moomin fame) vibes from the top middle and left ones! Love it!
>>43206639nice work anon and horsey, I'm digging the fuck out of that turbo lank anonmare and her lovely hatching
>>43206502>looks pretty good to me brotherIt's mostly the head I was kinda iffy on but seeing it now after a day or so it isn't too bad.>>43206639Nice lines anon, that bottom right one gotta be a self-portrait
Should I color the mares? I kinda like the contrast
>>43207160if you like it as is then no need too
I should upload this before I leave for NeighCon.
>>43207160Mare wrestling was something I didn't know I needed.MORE!
Bug but tiny
>>43208924small bug, big horn
>>43208924perfect for the jar (not the one you're thinking of)
>>43208924smoll
Speedy AJ draw!>>43208924Very cute little chryssi!
>>43209665Based!
>>43209665nice work anon
>>43208924>>43209665Inspired me to finish this shieet. Muzzles are difficult for me
>>43208926Walk small with a big horn>>43209061W-what jar else anon (please not that one)>>43209298teeny even>>43209665My fav apple! ready for some apple bucking (also thanks!>>43210241That's some great lank, nice use of line in the hair.
>>43210340this kind
>>43210241I agree with the other anon, I love a lanky pony and the hatching is immaculate. However the hind legs have an extra join between the hoof and the hock that doesn't make much sense - it seems like you drew out the 'wrist, i.e. the fetlock joint and the pastern bones, but it comes off as really odd to me.
first bug ive done in full color(at least the only one i remember doing lel)
>>43210870the one pixel pencil brush is what im comfy mspainting with and i like the way it looks once i resize to full
>>43210241Such a rad style, anon!Yeah, muzzles are tricky. Heck, I have a hard time with the whole face as soon as I get into angles that need something more than flat or show-reference foreshortening.>>43210844>>43211106OriginaLings a cute and handsome!
Haven't drawn pony (or anything else) in months and was feeling guilty. I'm too lazy to finish my idea right now but here is a Twilight who did not expect anyone to notice her sneaking around late at night. Second time drawing Twilight, third time with a canon pony, maybe 6th time drawing a pony at all, so despite noticing a lot of issues I am proud of the fact I don't feel disgusted looking at it. I notice a lot of things I need to work on and will probably force myself to practice more, sadly I might also need to not draw ponies for a bit and actually study art fundamentals.
>>43210844>>43211106cute well-fed bug
Ponify this if you want to
>>43211757That's a pretty good drawing for your sixth time drawing pony! >I might also need to not draw ponies for a bit and actually study art fundamentals.The neat part is that you can draw pony while learning fundamentals.
>>43201362
>>43210241i like this leggy horse
>>43210770You are right, as soon as I read your post I see it>>43211757You picked it up pretty fast dude that’s awesome>>43212857Fleur is the only reason I even considered drawing pony. Love herWork week begins again woooooooo
>>43212857>>43212892kino>>43211757nice work anon you're doing fine
>>43212892Another lovely mare! She looks cross. It's hard not to imagine there being a whole world filled with these tallmares.
>>43211466>>43211772thankscute bugs are my favorite
First time trying to make a walk cycle
>>43214162OK, I see multiple things wrongOne thing is that you have no idea what the major keyframes are, and are trying to compensate (this results in all legs looking janky as they try to move)Your timing is off on the rear and front legs, the moment the front leg moves forward and is at its peak keyframe, the opposite leg backward should already be at its peak keyframe too. The legs are also very stiff, you could use some knowledge of arcs and tweening/squeeze/squash. https://u.pone.rs/yywodjtn.flahere's a demo walk cycle for flashhttps://u.pone.rs/thpcsici.webmand here's a animation analysis video on ponies walking in MLP FiM
>>43214193Thanks for the advice. I don't use flash so not able to see that file. Gonna check out the video later
I found this video very helpful personally.https://youtu.be/tLrRlXxM5Yw?si=Rh0X7TBoKNw7VD1H
>>43212502
>>43214977
So I wanted to figure out how to make ponies move. Here is a walk cycle. While I love the look of frame by frame, I'm realizing how much work it i for one person. I'm thinking of trying some other animation solutions. Moho looks promising, anyone here use it?
Here is a trot
>>43215684>>43215686looks alright overall
>>43214468the retarded guitar music triggers my autismunwatchable desu
>>43215684>I'm realizing how much work it i for one person. I'm thinking of trying some other animation solutions. Moho looks promising, anyone here use it?Flash is where it's at for amateur animators, I guess there's Toonboom too. You've already got the foundation laid out for you (hasbro's official show assets), so why not use them? Vectors are just about infinitely editable and scalable and can be adapted for many things.
>>43215544
>>43202025>I failed Rarity, am week late.Rough draft of color; After I complete this draft, will restart on new color layer. I :heart: satin stich >>43203667Yeah, part of me was playing into it / exaggerated it, but drunk me was sad.Reading some of the IDW comics, I think Rarity became my "Literally Me" character.I wish she was still canonically the "Inspiration" element, feels more fitting I think.>>43202427Thread bummed me out, but everything good dies/wanes at some point. Nothing can stop death.Wish I never got embarrassed and never stopped watching MLP as a kid, I missed out on most of G4's life, but maybe being a iPad-raised normiefag was my destiny...>inb4 called cryfagMaybe it is good that I was only reminded of this show at the age most bronies were in 2012-2014; means I don't have any embarrassing memories of being a cringe brony-kid.
Quick funpost for another thread
Noticed that I forgot to post these here. Everypony is probably sick and tired of me posting Rarity in the same dress.Maybe I will draw here as this later:>https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/41/Angel_shows_a_model_of_Hagia_Sofia_to_Justinian_in_a_vision.png > Rarity, She is a selfless love,> An eternal form of beauty,> The absolute icon of inspiration.> Holier beyond compare to anypony, mare or colt,> For upon Her birth, all of heaven sprung up in triumph.> To look at Her is to hear a grand orchestral concert, > Or to feel the eudaimonia of an Orthodox church choir.> To paint Her is to submit to a doomed endeavor,> To be possessed by the love of beauty and excellence,> And to forever enslave oneself to the imitations of the form.> How is one to live in a doomed world?> Only through a supremacist pursuit of excellence.> Lest one to die in hopeless grief,> By the world that seeks its own degeneration.
>>43216561nice, gave me a chuckle.
Some smear practice
>>43217015Oh shit! That looks good, anon!Makes it really bouncy and alive!
Angry anon
>>43217524she's very pretty
I saw an pic of Fluttershy in old school noir detective outfit so Ive tried to make my own version. Its a pretty rough, I may come back to it in sometime future.
>>43216079Alternatively there's OpenToonz, if using FOSS software matters to you.That's probably what I'll use for doing a comic.
Found some old stuff.Despite all the stress and frustration I guess I had some fun.
I drawed
guidelines seem boring. Gonna try and copy ‘til it looks good then start creating.
A drawing I did for the Finish Line thread(to this anon >>43216561 , cool drawing)
As well as that, something original I also did.Date with flutterwife
>>43218444Looks great, I like the background.Pony anatomy comes with time, but this is still good!
>>43218444these are very nice, you have a nice sense of composition and you're great at the show accurate environment aesthetic
>>43217576GIWTWM (actually drawing)>>43217819Oooh, I really like the look! And her holding the cigarette holder in her wing like that looks good. Even though smoking is bad for her.>>43218160The >green addiction and current rampant withdrawal is hitting the anon population hard. It's very sad to behold.>>43218320I can't get my head around what I'm actually doing without the circles and lines. But that's some good copying ya got there, anon! Rose is a real cutie! You still learn some of the shapes that make up ponies that way as well!
Was talking to a friend the other day and brought up that I have aphantasia, said friend asked me a week ago to draw him a cheerilee. I've been wanting to draw a depiction of how I experience aphantasia for a while but have been putting it off But I've finally decided to do it. when It comes to willingly conjuring up mental images I am completely and totally unable to do so at all. I do on rare occasion get image flashes in a manner similar to >picrel usually its a bit faster and the image is a bit more blue, it only happens if my eyes are closed and I have no control over it what so ever. I'm only sharing this because the topic is absolutely fascinating to me and I would totally love to see if anyone else has a similar experience to me. or I would love to see others drawing shit in the way they see mental images.
>>43219082the pony in this is cheerilee that's who my fren asked for so here's the full grey scale of her i used in that gif
So Im just staright shilling mods pls no ban but im streaming to start my work weekend and If anyone has dumbass beginner questions Im happy to run thrue em, luv my fundies.artist stream is live on the derpibooru stream page
>>43219082For me it's almost the opposite, I can get fairly clear pictures of what I want to draw but my skills aren't quite up to snuff to properly convey how they look. Also if I try to focus too hard on specific details they start shifting or doing some weird vertigo camera stuff. Not to the point they're permanently warped, though. I just have to zoom out to the bigger picture and they correct themselves. In this one for example >>43194150 I ignored the shading and hot pink design on her dress in my head until after I had the rest at an acceptable spot while for this one >>43216561 I had almost the whole thing in mind as I was making it. Neither look as good as they did in my mind but as good as I can make them at my current experience
>>43219082Love it!
>>43219262based, must be frustrating though not being able to properly convey what your seeing though I could imagine?>>43219459hell yeah brother
>>43216415

>>43223246mmm filly roll yummy
>>43224152Boopable
>>43223935she is growing unstable
>>43224152smoochable
>>43223935Animating spins on 1s with lots of frames is generally a bad idea and has to be carefully organized or else it’ll look like that
>>43224875Yeah I'm definitely seeing that skipping some of the frames makes it look way more natural and less like she's undergoing nuclear fissionI wanted to draw her from all the different angles since I originally only drew the front, 7/8ths, 3/4ths and profile views along with their rear equivalents so looking back I probably should have drawn more guides if I wanted a smooth spinning animation.

>>43226732Hi from down under.
>>43226732Very nice, the style looks very on-par with the show.
Following the advice of: "Grab some paper and just draw whatever" from rewatching an old con draw-panel while lounging in a sofa is a lot of fun.It's chill and I put a whole lot less expectation and pressure on myself, so it's almost nothing but a good time.>>43226732Back-of-receipt is a good format! Extra small for fast and easy doodles!Your perspective work looks great!
I read Escape from Canterlot a few days ago, so I wanted to do a thing of tavi
>>43226945I think you got the idea. The only thing worth changing I can say that's a matter of objective fact rather than taste is that the proportions don't seem to be consistent across the entire picture.
>>43226862Really pretty AJ anon, lotsa attitude.>>43227021How-so? I'm interested in what you see wrong, friend.
>>43226862This is really cool

>>43228293Draw with a reference for big gains fast
>>43228293I'm a complete beginner too, but I'd recommend going show style so you can get familiar with the proportions. Just my opinion though.Maybe try badumsquish, simple poses.

I was re-reading Piesinful's fantastic Unlucky Day comic and paused to just do a quick doodle from it for myself.But even though I was just slapping down some color shapes and threw some clipping layers on top, it somehow turned out way more visually appealing than I'd imagined.I've prettied it up a little more, but it mostly made me wanna do a better one with more overall effort, and where the pose and stuff are less uninteresting and static.But for now I might as well post this one here.>>43228189>>43228113Your stuff is so good! Such great shapes, and everything looks super cute!
>>43228709That looks really cool. I don't know the context but it looks like Pinkie is about to blast me with a psychic laser.
>>43226820>>43226969Sketch for anon, might finish later.
>>43228113What a slut
Drew another weird fetish thing for my fanfic. I can't believe how much of a pain in the ass the telekinesis was. Spent two hours screwing around with blurs trying to get it to look passable.
>>43215684>>43215686holy fuck that's smooth...
>>43215684Im impressed, looks alot easier than what i was trying to do
doodle bump
I love perfectly rounded eyes
>>43230864Being just a little frank>>43231393Now there's a tricky angle.>>43231618Guess it's gonna be mainly stallions and foals for you then, anon.And there's also the eyes that squish in the other direction.
I have the autistic need to make some kind of narrative animation with a story that I barely have planned on my head for since a while and I don't care if some small scenes or stuff is not even used in the final product, I just want to have some motivation to get something done and learn in the meantime.>>43232278The bizarre weird goat eyes
My friends and I put together another animation!https://u.pone.rs/sneshsch.mp4
>>43232371based i just watched it
>>43232292and here i try to put it on motion
>>43232514That sun scares me. Why is it looking at me like that?
>>43230198It's funny to me that you are complaining about the telekinesis effect when all I can think about is how hard it must have been to figure out how to fold a pony into a ball.
>>43232371Oh dang!Getting misaligned to the wrong qpu seems like a rough trip.Love the gun BonBon and Lyra!

Finished a character drawing for my fan fiction. The mane styling didn't go the way I hoped but i guess it gets the point across

Rights n' wronfs /bale/?>her curls are too smallIdc I like them this way
>>43186691wanted to share this doodle i did of a twilight redesign cuz ive been seeing those a lot online lately
>>43235244You thought you'd get called on the size of the curls and not the fact you decided to draw the worst dog imaginable?
>>43235294Based
Done as a warm up, any recs for when I finish my shift?
>>43235294Twilight glimmer?
>>43235244brother I'm gonna put this as politely as humanly possibly, your heads need more work. you're still doing the same mistake of making the head to small and the chest too big. it's like my last recommendations rolled off your back like water on a duck. I'd also recommend bigger eyes and more rounded snoots both are more appealing. the rest of the anatomy is passable, personally I'd give the mane more volume, and the curl count doesn't matter nearly as much as you think. no one is going to count them unless they have a hate boner for you which is unlikely.
>>43235244seconding what the other anon said. I like to see that you're using the three circle method to construct, but the point of construction is to make a good, well-proportioned foundation you can easily tinker with before you go adding detail that's hard to fix. The chest circle should be the smallest, and the head circle should be about the same size as the butt circle.Aside from the head size in relation to the body, the snoot is also too big in relation to the head, and should be rounded, like the other anon said (it sticks out too far and should have no sharp angles, at very least no sharp chin). Legs also need to be a little bigger all around, and remember they steadily taper larger towards big ol hoofas.>>43235418obv there's a lot to improve on, but the most important piece of advice for you is bigger eyes. Like way bigger, they should take up most of the face. Their shape is nice and appealing though, remember to scale up the pupil as you scale up the eye. Otherwise just keep having fun and you will improve everywhere!
quick Minnie sketchhow does she look, /bale/?
>>43235914What does she want me for?
>>43235914Very cute mare, I like the composition.Tho I have to say, the left leg looks a bit... Uncanny?I think her gaskin looks a bit protruded, you should make it a bit smaller
>>43235914I feel like you should be able to see the bit of her right leg that's below the stomach (don't know what it's called, hock?)other than that, what a qt

Field trip to the petting zoo. I think it wants oats.
>>43236643let my numgets roam free
I've stalled with a couple art projects that I really would like to complete, and it's eating at me.So I threw these together to have something cute and motivating to look at, rotating as my wallpapers!>>43235294Cutie! I really like her short mane and tail!>>43236041All cute honses get treats and pats!>>43236091dockVery nice anatomical geometry here, such as her back leg looking entirely correct despite the sharp angle.>>43236200>gave her a smile insteadnow THAT'S a real Minuette! Happy, giggly mare!>>43236643Oooh! I wanna pet the numget!
>>43236643lol this is funny but think it would be funnier if numget was straight up a horse with super derpy horse eyes looking off to each side like a turbo derp. but that's just me.>>43236651a nyxget!? on my pastel pony board!?>>43236763based look alright to me
>>43235244>ShitstyHere's your main wrong
>>43232699>figure out how to fold a pony into a ballIt's not really that hard. I more or less just ignored anatomy constraints because it's a weird cartoon fetish and the character can be squished down however. The biggest pain for the ball effect was trying to get the curvature right.>>43233208Supposed to be a ball. The mare thief was flattened and crushed down by a protective ward when she tried to steal that artifact and the mage is picking her up to transport to the Royal Guard. Alternatively, you could imagine the mage doing the compressing herself as well. I went with a "flattening" effect instead of a smooth sphere because that's my primary fetish.
>>43237005I agree really and that was the original plan, but then I cleaned up some lines and tried to give her a creepy stare and she ended up looking cute, almost sentient even and it grew on me. Like looking at a semi-intelligent ape at the zoo, It made me wonder if the fence is truly justified. It probably is because she would eat everything without remorse if she was free, but it feels like an ethical dilemma.
