Welcome friends, ITT:
We make and share pony art, with absolutely no pressure to deliver anything that's technically good (besides having ponies in it, which makes it good by default)

Make something, share what you've done, and give feedback and motivation to help us all keep improving and creating!

This thread's focus is art, but beginner or low effort content of any kind is welcome here. If you do want to post about something else like music, gamedev, or crafts, though, just note that you may find better help and feedback posting it in the /create/ thread

Are you an experienced artist? Leave some tips, feedback, guides, or tutorials, they're well appreciated here!

Guides, tutorials and resources! Start here!

Pencil drawings are relaxing, and being able to sit anywhere and doodle is very nice.

And since my line-inking efforts usually end up looking way worse, I get to coward out and just leave them at this stage!
I could strengthen all the lines with a black pencil and then do a pass with my color pencils, since doing it over sketchy lead lines usually results in smears. But NOT doing that is also kind of freeing in itself: Feeling like the drawing is entirely done as it is, and I get to move on.
I can just throw it into my A4 picture frame and look at it anyway!

>I get to coward out and just leave them at this stage
I generally prefer stages prior to last, so no complaints there. Good work on face and mane. Only question is, if (hypothetically) animating hoof rotate/descend, would frog underside bump out at all? If so, it couldn't be animated as flat surface.

Not saying this needs to be animated. But if you believe in this style, this question becomes inevitable.

It'd be flat and slightly concave, with frog trenches.
And ideally with more detail and overall skill in proportions and making the volumes readable.

not sure the joke works as youve drawn it. the comedy of the original is the girl chastising the man. when twilight is in shock like that, and it seems what's her face is saying it feels a bit backwards, unless the joke is twilight tried molesting her, but twis reaction doesnt seem right either in that case
