>>43306510Bottom left Vinyl is traced over one of Plunger's green faggot, I do that sometimes to train, I don't know if it's good practice but I feel like it helps me get a better feel to understand how lines work together. The Trixie is an abomination and I both love and hate her for that.
Behold! A mare.

>>43317483Super cutie!I love og changelings.And ones that infiltrate pony society for small, personal curiosity's sake are particularly precious.>>43318298Always such rad silhouettes and poses, anon. Very nice.>>43318378They are all very cute anon! Even slightly-crooked-face Trixie
>>43318298I'm curious. If you drew Trixie, would you draw her mane like you did Fluttershy's, or would you stick to the curvy show style?
>>43318416As described on the tin

appul boom i drew
>>43318713How come it's always the trixfags baiting me into drawing their waifu? I mean, I'll bite, but at least get me a rarifag for once. Sheesh.Anyways; trick question. I prefer drawing Trixie with the hat on.https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/43014297/#q43096048I have indeed drawn Trixie before, but that was when I was still getting comfortable with the base pony model. Though I wouldn't be stylizing Trixie's mane anyhow.The reason I stylize Whatever-The-Buck-Her-Name-Is's mane is to give it a more distinct silhouette from Rarity's since I felt the top halves looked kinda similar, as well as a bit of a disheveled look, since I tend to wanna evoke Greg's versions of the characters whenever I can.A distinct silhouette is one of the reasons I prefer Trixie with the hat on, by the way.The only other character as of right now that I give the jagged mane to is Thrackerzod, for obvious reasons. But I dunno, I'm still experimenting with different characters currently.>>43319100Apul Boom, I don't wanna alarm you. But your bow is looking like some mighty sweet candy right now.
>>43319170I love how you draw my purple wife, thank you
nurse redfart drawing i done too
>>43319170>but at least get me a rarifag for onceyou VILL draw ze trixie, you VILL like it.
>>43318416Ok, Diogenes
>>43319247B-...But, she's barely a character, Sir! I understand she looks cool, b-but... s-she's nothing more than a villain-of-the-week, Sir! A-A monodimensional obstacle for the protagonists, the whole point is that she is plain!... I-I can draw R-Rainbow Dash, Sir. She's not a unicorn but... t-the boastful personality is the same, r-right? I-It won't even be Greg's Rainbow Dash, I swear! Just please let me draw another character, I've been drawing Trixie for six years!
>>43319314Very vell. You may draw...CHRYSALIS!
>>43319170>>43319314Hehehe, you fell into my trap of getting more Trixie draws. Thanks for the explanation. The jagged man looks great on Thrackerzod and I love the expressions.>she's nothing more than a villain-of-the-weekI resent that. She's sweet, silly and a top-tier magician.
>>43319100nice bloom. saved.
>>43319239Super cute!! I love her eyes the most.
>>43319170
A mare can dream of something bigger, just like us. This can't be too bad for a first time can it?
>>43319314Sorry Trixie, I can't draw you right now. I'm drawing the creature.

Watched the "Animation with AnonTheAnon" stream recording last night and wanted to try something out myself.It took 2 hours though...
>>43318201Hello artists of /bale/, once again I am asking for your assistance in helping creating a cute pony designs for a MF charity shirt. For anybody whom wish to contribute, please download this pic and use the available sharpie colors presented in the bottom left corner and repost the image in the thread for other to add more on top of it. There isn't much of guidance here other than to keep the desing/text pony related and SFW and also keep in mind these design will be redraw irl by hand so keep them more on simple side of things
>>43320029Very good, it's very smooth and fluid. Any tips on doing animation? I've been trying to do more, but it's incredibly difficult for me.
>>43320077Ive forgot to add, the deadline will be set for 3 weeks from now on (since /mlp/con is also happening soon) on 18th of July.
>>43320078Thank you! It's all because of:>https://pony.tube/w/fhQ7KSMPeT7ueepSihPzXKEspecially the easing part (around the 55 minute mark). Makes animating much-much easier and smoother in my experience.
>>43320029AWESOMEE
Managed to make my drawing tablet work again.
>>43320210Thousand mare stare
>>43319431NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!Funnily enough, Queen Chrysalis was one of the first characters I tried doing when I got into drawing ponies. TERRIBLE idea since this character takes full advantage of the fact that she show uses puppet animation and thus can be as complex as she wants, and I- for my part- had no idea what I was doing.She's still pretty damn annoying even now, but at least cheating the finer details helps a bit. I don't think I'll ever get that friggin' horn right, though, I just ceded and started doing a weird bootleg Wu-Tang Clan logo.Either way, changelings are still rad.By the way, while I like how character suggestions make me try out characters I wouldn't otherwise, I'm gonna be putting a stop to it for now, lest this gets out of hand be turned into poor man's /r/. Also because I've been neglecting some personal faves for too long.>>43319750Holy eyes... I'm infatuated by those.
>>43320346WIFEWIFEWIFEWIFEWIFEWIFE!
>>43320078learn animation in flash to grasp the basics before jumping into hand drawn animation.There was also a good flash animation book by rubberonion that you can read over to understand theory, you can download their exercises from the website they host.I’m not a artfag but I know how to animate in flash (and now SFM). If you want a resource dump I can dump some stuff here
>>43320346wife
>>43320210hell yeah brother, love seeing your shit It's pure sovl.
>>43320346she has some unresolved issues.
>>43320077
>>43320465I think that design only works if you omit the sleeves.
>>43320465

>>43318378I saw a cat and that made me want to draw a quick Derpy. Too quick I didn't paid attention and put the colors on the same layer as my circles. Oh well, whatever.>>43324367unf
