I'm feeling shitty and depressed. So I want to see some of your guys' artwork. Art you've done. Seeing other peoples' artwork makes me feel happy, good or bad. I want to see how the effort of the things you guys have done, and to see you each talk about each other's artwork and give some good constructive criticism.
Basically, post your art shit.
>>25372587
Meh fuck it. Why not.
I drew this a while back when I was feeling it. I havent drawn since.
>>25372795
Any reason you haven't drawn since then?
>>25372587
Not exactly my art, though, as this is just a result of the attempt to copy a pic of Derpy I saw on the Internet.
Bumping for more art.
Come on, anons, don't be shy.
I know it's not very good, but I still feel happy I made that thing
>>25372873
I'm shit. That's why.
>>25372587
I'll contribute.
>>25374136
That's a cute thing.
>>25375270
That's pretty cute, anon.
>>25375302
Thanks. It's one of my earlier works.
Did this one way back around Season 1 or 2
I drew Diamond Tiara from Fallout Equestia earlier this year.
spoiler: she dies
OP here
These are all adorable. You guys have some good skills, and it's pleasant to see your guys' effort on these!
I can copy images I see pretty flawlessly, but I can't just draw things from my head and have them turn out looking okay. That's without using so many references that it doesn't feel like my drawing.
>>25376251
Grind out those references until you can draw them without it. Once you're confident enough to draw them without references, start stylizing them.
OP here
>>25376251
Bah, nonsense. There is nothing wrong with using references for your drawings. Branching out to start using them only as references instead of recreating them piece for piece is one of the harder steps. A lot of artists have the issue of not liking how they turn out "looking okay." That's what practice is for!
>>25376219
Glad to see that you like what we have.
>>25375270
This is something I made recently. I say I've improved quite a bit after 2 or 3 months of drawing.
>>25376251
>>25376293
>>25376301
I agree, references help a lot. There's no shame in using them, on the contrary, it's better if you do.
>>25372587
Done a few days ago in one of the Lyra threads. Someone wanted them flying in a Corsair together.
First piece of horse art in a year or two.
>>25376399
Nevermind that was wrong, I also did this barely related thing in the threads that had a german tank platoon stuck in horseland.
>>25376444
Nice trips, also that's pretty impressive.
>>25372587
All I've got is OC shit I've done a long as time ago, if that counts.
>>25376484
OC shit is just fine! I don't mind seeing artwork of one's OCs. It's fun to see it~!
R8 my pencil turd
>>25376444
Found something old. Lunar flying saucer patroling the wastes.
>>25376481
Tigers are neat because they're just boxes with rectangles attached to them, so you can't fuck up the perspective as much.
>>25376600
10/10 scrunch.Really though the head is just too small to fit the body.
>>25375270
ok, that's cute.
>>25376600
Circles, bro.
That back leg is good though. Gotta shorten her body with circles.
No one else willing to post their art?
OP here
Here, just to keep the trend going and to encourage folks to share their art, I'll share mine.It's an uncolored OC, so proceed with caution.
Should I create a DA for my for-fun sketches? I'd like to have a organize my stuff that isn't a bunch of random notebooks, but the idea of my shitty art being out there for anyone to stumble upon it makes me uncomfortable.
>>25377212
>Circles, bro.
Thanks m8, that was helpful af
>>25377751
There you go. I only got so much horse stuff.
There, classic pencil-paper combo.
>>25377851
To have a place to*
>>25377851
No matter how bad it is, it will be better than a lot of stuff on DA either way. Alternatively you could always just make an imgur or whatever.
>>25377892
Thanks anon. I hadn't thought about that.
OP here. Still diggin' your guys' artwork! It's refreshing to see so many talented and enthusiastic artists in here!
>>25377851
That'd be good. I don't do much of DA these days, but I'd be willing to follow ya. Or, alternatively, you could make a Tumblr. Just, you know, stay away from the SJWs and all that jazz.
No one else wants to share their art??
>>25378883
I have this, but once again it's just an attempt to copy already existing drawing, so it doesn't hold any actual value.
Not to mention it turned out pretty bad.
>>25378883
Well I just made this. Not pone related per se but it's a horse.
They are hard to draw.

Can you draw more of my friends OC?
OP here
>>25385729
>>25387798
I actually really think these two are kinda cute enough that I wanna draw 'em, too. I'll see if I can get some sketches/doodles up here.
Sketched this on my phone and did the outlining and coloring on SAI it was a farewell gift for somebody
This was a year ago and never draw again ever since, also did some Aj stuff on apple threads back then. Good times
>>25372957
Your'e great. Keep drawing.
>>25377212
I now pray to you, sir.
I really want to draw right now, but my hand are really cold. Anybody have a solution?
>>25388428
Get some fingerless gloves

a doodle from like a month ago
I've drew these two yesterday
>>25383871

I never draw ponies and these were my first two attempts ever. How did I do?
>>25388553
Top fucking notch! Keep drawing, Anon.
This was my first ever attempt to draw a pony from a couple of months ago. I drew a much better EqG Derpy. Should I post her?
OP here
You guys are doing great. It's quite pleasing to see passionate artists and even casual artists on here sharing artwork~!

More of this.
>>25376122

For what reason? What do you expect to come out of this thread?
>>25390320
I don't really know.
I just find it neat.
So
>>25390320
art?
I might buy the Wacom Intuos Comic soon. Is it worth it? And, if so, what art programs are the best to buy with it?
OP here
>>25391303
No clue. I have a standard Bamboo Wacom Pen & Touch that I got half a decade ago. It still works, but it's a pain in the ass to get the drivers proper on my OS.
It really depends on how well you can use hand-eye coordination with fine details/dexterity. I can't do it for shit, and I'm looking into either making something like a Cintiq or buying one that's cheap...
I do acrylic paintings of ponies on canvas. here is one of the first ones I did of Applejack.
>>25391521
Holy shit, that's pretty good.
>>25391303
I drew these >>25389666 with a Motion Computing LE1600 tablet. It's an old inexpensive Windows XP tablet from 2006 that has a screen you draw directly on. I have an Intuous3, but it is too difficult for me to draw without looking down at my hand since I got so used to drawing on paper. Go check ebay for Motion Computing LE1600 or LE1700. They go for under $200, and they're their own PC you can carry around. They're a bit underpowered for full-on Photoshop, but Paint Tool SAI works beautifully on them.
This guy draws on the same tablet with SAI, so it's pretty fuckin good.

Developing artfag here.
I'm having trouble making good looking lines, like they just look kinda pixely, not really that smooth and fluid. Any tips for brushes to help out with that?
I rock a wacom intuos pro and usually Photohop CS6.
>>25391793
That is likely due to your pressure sensitivity not working with Photoshop. Turn on your shape dynamics for your brush. Refer to vid.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2atrW3xozM
>>25391903
Also be sure your tablet drivers are up to date. Re-install the correct drivers for your intuos pro.

Truly a masterpiece
I'm currently practicing on doing my art somewhat quickly. Mostly so I can post at a decent pace when I start my CYOA. This one was about 20mins
>>25394689
>There are people who can nicely speeddraw things in just 20 minutes
>meanwhile I spend hours for one picture and they still end up being shitty (or mediocre at best)
That's it, I'm outta here. I just can't take it anymore.
>>25394805
Work on your circles and shapes man. Once you learn that you can draw anything quick, with a little practice here and there. I did >>25392332 in roughly ~20 minutes. Its shit, but with time I'll get better, even though I just started to draw.
OP here
>>25394805
Hey now, that's no way to talk! You just gotta practice! It's hard in the beginning, but with perseverance, you'll be able to be drawing quickly in no-time! When I drew >>25377845 , that took about an hour or so. I've been doodling for years now. Those artists that do perfect drawings in under 20 minutes? You're only seeing those drawings, AKA the outcome of the hard work. You're not seeing the frustration poured into it, the hours upon hours of time, and all the failures they encountered to reach that point. You can do it, you just gotta keep trying! Learn from your mistakes and practice!
>>25395045
Super true, here is one of my super early pics, took 5 hours
>>25376548
Here's an OC of a friend of mine.Totally not Coco
>>25394805
Trust me man, I was in the same position as you. I would be astounded by how fast that people can draw.
I don't really get bothered by that too much though. I just used art as a way to just relax and take my time with something like like doing.
pic related when I was still new to painting. Took literally almost a day, 20 hours straight. If I were to try and recreate it now, it might only take a few hours at most.
Just go at your own pace, and over time, you will get better, trust me.
>>25394805
bruh, don't worry. just work on your chicken scratch, afterward try refining your lines.
at least that is what i do, and I usually take a week at a time a couple hours a day to complete.
doesn't hurt to work on your circles either.
I guess ill be trying to draw once again on my day off
>>25396061
I found that this helps a lot.
>>25372587
Posting my art shit as requested.
>>25396674
That's adorable
>>25392332
Not bad for a third try. God knows how bad I was when I started out.
And thanks for the complement mate, I drew that for her myself. Just so you know, her name is Short Story.
>>25397665
This, I never thought I could ever get gud. Was completely worth the effort though. Just takes a bit of study and work. Keep at it, Anons.
This is the last horse related image I put any effort into. I should paint over it and make it look nicer so I can start doing horse commissions again.
Made this for a friend. It was something I sketched up in 10 minutes.
>>25399160
>>25399771
I like it
>>25399810
And I chuckled
OP here
These are all fantastic and adorable. And thank you >>25396360 for the tips! These are always appreciated, and go a long way!
I'd upload some more of my art, and maybe a "before-after" image of progression, but right now real life is calling to bust my balls. I'll poke back in with some comments and such. Keep up the good work!
In the mean time, have a cheap digital piece I did as a commission!
>>25391716
Me again. Here is the tablet I use. I found new ones on ebay for $68 shipped. That's cheaper than how much I paid, used. I HIGHLY recommend these LE1600 tablets since they're basically a standalone Cintiq. Just upgrade the RAM to 1.5gb (the max), and install the Wacom legacy drivers from the website. SAI works beautifully on it.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/361418288886
OP here
>>25401676
Seriously? Only 1.5 gb max? That's freakin' tiny. Ah well. I might break down and nab one, then. Thank ya kindly for the recommendation!
>>25375093
Bah! I am shit.
I can't even draw a fecking straight line.
What you did was ok if not good.
>>25401709
It's old. Back before the iPad, Microsoft thought it would be a good idea to make tablets. It failed, and this tablet is among that group. The upgrade to this tablet, the LE1700, can go up to 4GB of RAM. People install Windows 7 on those, and you get a bit more resolution (drawing space). But they're usually above $200. This one is $68 which is well worth it -- especially as a take-anywhere tablet.
-The pen that comes with it is a Wacom pen (like on a cintiq or intuos).
-The flex dock might not be your first choice, but the thing is sturdy as fuck. It's really helpful.
-Be absolutely sure to install the wacom LEGACY drivers (means old shit). Otherwise pressure sensitivity won't work.
-Stripped versions of photoshop kinda work on it, but not perfectly. Learn to draw with Paint tool SAI. It's a bit better with painting. Photoshop just has all the neat effects.
>>25372587
>>25394805
I started like that, still kinda am actually.
Pic related. Last drawing I made some months ago. Spent /several/ hours just doing that. I started seeing how other people did the same or even better than me in less than 30 minutes while I spent so much time in only one picture. Lost motivation, sure, but you just gotta know that if you want to draw something good you have to practice and practice until you're used to drawing shapes.
Then again, every time I drew a line I always saw some kind of disfigurement. Too much of a perfectionist?
OP here. Sneaking away from school shit to pone
>>25402002
Very cute. One way you can get around it is by sucking it up (as mean as it sounds). You gotta accept that not every line is gonna be fantastic. Instead of doing long lines for the sketches, try short strokes, actually sketch it. It'll help lay out where your final lines are going to go, and it'll save your sanity in the long run.

>>25372587
I wish the 3D thread was up, here you go anyway.

Is this the new drawfagship thread?
>>25403829
This is a subtle one yes. Its also a huge hugbox, but I'm too afraid to post any of my shit.
>>25403829
>>25403858
The drawfagship was even more hugboxy if you ask me. Encouragement is fine. But sometimes you need someone to tell you when someone is is down right shit.
Looking at the /ic/ requests in the drawthread right now and they all have the same exact problem that's been discussed hundreds of times over my many more experienced artists. Symbol drawing and bad lines caused by lack of control due to bad posture.
OP here
>>25403858
>>25403963
Esh, sorry I'm makin' it too hugboxy for folks. I just don't want to be a dick. I know that's nearly impossible to do on here because it's 4chan but whatever. x
>>25404201
Criticism would be nice
>>25402462
>>25396061
>>25385377
>>25404225
First criticism I would give to any aspiring /mlp/ drawfags is to make sure you get your proportions right, particularly legs, head, and wings. Don't forget to take into account perspective.
>>25376444
was that from the Wehrmacht in Equestria threads?
>>25404201
Understandable. Some people need the encouragement to get started, but others do need a cold hard shove in the right direction.
>>25404267
Fundamentals in general. Know them in and out before you break them. Even if you just want to draw cartoon ponies I'd suggest doing irl horse figure drawings. You need to constantly push yourself, make everything look right, and evaluate what you did wrong or you'll never get better.
OP here. School shit took longer than I wanted it to, and I goofed off doing other stuff, too.Not sure how good at criticizing I am, since I've kind of had it pushed into my head that criticism is bad because "BUT MUH ART STYLE" by Tumblr
I'll give it a shot...
>>25404225
Alright, well, for >>25402462 , I will say that the hair is good, but the proportions of the legs and body are off. The front legs should probably be enlarged more to make them look less stunted. The neck could use a bit more definition at the back, but otherwise it's not terribly bad~!
>>25385377
Same here. You've got a lot of the little details down great, like the hair shape, ears, and snout. The biggest issue to look at is the front legs to make them more proportional to the rest of the body to make her seem less short and stout.
>>25396061
Very cure, and the hair is still good. The wings kinda throw me off a little bit in terms of the feathers, and basically, it's just proportion issues I'm seeing, mostly the back legs this time. The big thing is to address the inking/outlining. I know it's a little doodle, but if you look at the back of the neck behind the hair, it looks like the neck makes a little point, and the lines don't connect in a natural way. Do you know what I'm saying? Drawing from the bottom layer upwards is probably a the ideal route. Drawing the basic shapes, adding in the details later, and not being afraid to go back over lines and areas. Try sketching everything out first, and going over your base lines and getting a general feel for the drawing before doing any final lines. Basically, don't go for the final lining right off the bat. Does that make sense? If not, I can show what I mean.
Phew... alright. Anyone else? Did I do alright?
>>25404627
I like you. Not everyone realizes that giving critique is a skill all on it's own. To answer your question honestly, your crit crosses the nitpick line. It's one thing to point out what's wrong, it's another thing to point out why they made the mistake.
>>25396061
This guy for example. The kind of crit I'd give is that he is for a fact symbol drawing and needs to study basic form. The placement of the wing gives it all away. -Always- think in 3-D even when drawing with simple lines. Also the line quality in general I can tell you're gripping your pencil a lot tighter than needed. The harder you hold it the harder it is to control, it's also bad for your wrist in the long run. Make sure your drawing from your shoulder and elbows as well.
>>25405516
Of course I should also add that only beginners need this kind of crit. For better pieces people tend to over think the technicality when, "The lighting looks shit," or, "Study anatomy and use references to fix X problem." will suffice. I can go on about the nitty gritty down to a lengthy 1-2 physics lecture about how light and color works and the different variations of scattering. Or even name all the muscles and functions in the human body by heart,it's a punbut when someone has made it that far, I feel like they can learn better researching why it happened on their own. Kind of a teach a man how to fish thing.
It's been over a year since I've drawn mulp. Was flipping through my "archive" and it made me want to do a sketch for memory sake.
It's actually been that long since I've been on this board too. I'm amazed there's still draw threads and shit (or that the board still exists).
OP here
>>25405516
>>25405551
Wait a minute. I'm LIKED on the 4chans? And on my first-ever thread? Holy shit, what God did I please? But thank you for your input. Never gave a real critique outside of my High School art classes. Probably would have helped if I stuck with my art class in College, too. Ah well, at least I got a month or so out of it. I'll be sure to keep those points in mind.Critique of a critique. Yo dawg.
>>25405737
That is an adorable-looking Fluts. And as for why this thread/board still exists, I won't deny that I've been shamelessly bumping with my own art, or just general replying when it reaches the 8-10th page range.

I can't remember where, but someone mentioned attempting to draw waifus. Apparently wasn't here. I tried anyway, implementing the advice I got last week.
>>25396360
This is the most useful advice I've read since I startedlast month.Fucking saved.
>>25407703
>ax muzzle
That looks kinda cute. The hindlegs are a bit short though.
>>25407719
I really struggle with drawing hind legs, especially in different positions. Really need to sort that out.
Thanks for the feedback.
>>25407752
I think just making them a bit longer does the trick.
>>25407811
Actually I just noticed, ignore the foreleg, it should not go like I doodled it.
>>25407811
Made some adjustments. Any better? Same issues? Improving the drawing is helping me more than you know.
>>25408069
Wings shouldn't go below the collar thing. But yeah better.
OP here
>>25408069
One way to help with stuff like legs is to either a) draw them as cylinders first, stopping at each joint, or b) using circular loops over and over, the edges being the edge of the shape and circles/loops getting larger as it approaches closer to the camera to give it foreshortening/perspective. Does that make sense? I can give an example if no.
>>25408562
There we go. Don't know why the fuck I kept trying to make the wings bigger to compensate. Safe to add them to the list of thing I suck at.
I won't make any more edits since that's probably needless meticulousness. I'll just give it another shot sometime, with a new pose and all. Thank you very much for the input.
>>25408586

I have a question. Is there a name for when you draw a picture you saw on the internet? It's not tracing.
>>25408881
It's called a master study, I'm doing one right now. You can also do the same with movie caps to help you learn composition. It's a good thing to do it with a goal in mind for learning purposes. Not for the sake of just copying. My focus here is color and light.
>>25408916
And is it a good practice method?
>>25408950
You always need to apply what you learn from these studies or it will never stick. So to answer your question, In tandem with doing personal stuff, yes.
OP here.
>>25408786
Well, my tablet decided to fuck off and not work properly, so here's a video for what I was referring to. It's called the "coil" technique, as he says it. If you can get passed his tone, it's pretty informative. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJWLaDSNBAI
>>25408821
Ah, there it is. I was concerned for a moment.
>>25408950
It is a fantastic practice method. It helps if you're unsure of how something you're doing isn't turning out right, basically figuring out what the artist did properly so that you can learn from that . >>25408916 basically said it better than how I did.
>>25409032
It's nice to know what I've been doing wasn't a waste.
>>25407703
>most useful advice I've read since I started
If you think that's good try these. It's a personal collection.

For a beginner, I'd suggest Alla Prima, Scott Robertson's How to Draw, and Charles Bargue's training course.

OP here
>>25411197
Very nice! This is what I was kind of referring to when I was saying short and simple strokes for sketching. The eye and snout look a bit off, and the rump and upper part of the knee are kind of angular when they should probably be softer, but otherwise very good! I do recommend lifting up on the pressure you're putting on the lines if only to save your paper, lead, and your arm. Light strokes go a long way! Also, I noticed the post-it note and the notes in your sketchbook. I assume this was for an art class, where the teacher picks up your book and checks your progress?Was this a better critique?

>>25413029
please do
>>25411197
The reason why construction can feel stiff is because structure and gesture are on two opposite ends of the spectrum and you need to find a balance. Read up on studying gesture, it'll probably improve your line quality as well. Try New Master's Academy on youtube.tfw I'd post more art to bump the thread but a vast majority of it is /tg/ related.

Must... resist the urge... to call OP a faggot and send him to /trash/...Your drawing is pretty good, though.But seriously, try to draw something less autistic next time.
Here's mine
OP here
>>25417208
Pfft, I don't care. Call me a faggot if you want.
Plus, it's an old drawing. Like... two, three years old? But noted
>>25417208
Though I am curious as to what makes it that bad, in terms of color, if I may be so bold as to ask.
Also >>25417236 , very very pretty. I especially like the lighting on it.
>>25417870
>I am curious as to what makes it that bad, in terms of color
Not only dark green looks strange as a pone's coat color, but it's also an "acidic" color, and mixing it with dark blue makes both colors to be very standing out and unappealing to the eye. It's like these black-and-red OC'es.But this is just my personal opinion.
>>25417870
the pone in the show are pastel and easy on the eyes.and stop saying OP here every post
>>25372587
here's something I tried to do . now that i look at it, I was way off.
>>25418296
and here's a rarity one, but I cant find the original picture. I have more, just wanted to post these two for now.
>>25418052
Noted.
>>25418095
Got it. Sorry.
Eesh, now I feel regret for my actions. Can't even delete my artwork. Kinda wanna delete the thread for being a massive faggot.
>>25418457
everyone here's a faggot, that's a given. let us have our art thread
>>25418296
To be honest your drawing is better than original picture.
>>25418470
Yeah, but not everyone's an "autistic" faggot, know what I mean? At least I wish I could delete half my posts. Time-limit says I need to suffer for my sins.
>>25418457
You just don't need to say "OP here" in every post unless it's relevant.
As for your actions, if you are OP, I think you're doing good. The art in this thread isn't that great, but the encouragement and constructive criticism is helpful instead of "your art is shit, kill yourself." All the learning artists are coming out of the woodwork, and posting what they would otherwise not post.
>>25418608
This.
If anyone has anymore questions I'll be around for a few more hoursbefore getting ready to sate my inner /trv/faggotry.
Sketched this Flutters at work today, photoshopping it later.
Fairly pleased with it, but something seems off.
Bumping with content.I've been rewatching Madoka Magica again. I'm not even sorry
>>25418052
>>25418095
Uh... so after thinking on it... what might be the best course of action be in terms of color? I browsed around in my old art of the OC and was curious. Here, have a little colt-version of said OC to give a spectrum of the color. Should I go with lighter color like lighter hues? Or...?
>>25420012
imho,
the front of the mane looks too anime, and maybe go with a lighter green like pic related.
That would make it look less jarring compared to other FiM pones.
>>25420067
This is also a really, really old pic. Five years old. But noted. I'll experiment with that color. I mean, I kinda like the coat color... Perhaps a change on the mane color to make it less clashing?
Eh. I'll still keep it in mind. Any other suggestions? I hesitate to bring up more considering the cringe it has wrought upon the board.
It was a fun project i did a long time ago and brings a warm feelin' in my ink well
>>25420012
I personally don't see the reasoning between vibrant green fur and vibrant blue mane and then brown eyes.
Unrelated but back in high school i used to sketch pones in my notebook but I can't seem to figure out where i put that thing
>>25420119
Nothing wrong with the color on its own, but it's kinda like that thing where eating off a blue plate fucks with your appetite because blue is not a color often associated with food.
Strong greens (and most colors actually) aren't typical with the FiM style and look weird comparably. Kinda have the same problem with my OC.
>>25420160
>>25420207
Oh, right, that. Uh... well, mostly my favorite colors... Mostly the green. If I were to change the mane, would it be better as a lighter blue? Like, paler?
Also, as for the eyes, I was aiming more something like Pound Cake's eye-color, but not as the beady foal eyes. Guess I missed the mark. Bah.
>>25420233
Here's a quick mock-up so you can have a basis on how the lighter colors would work together
>>25420483
Ooh, helpful. Thank ya kindly. I'll keep the cutie mark idea under consideration.OC don't have a cutie mark, so yeah
>>25418984
Adorable as fuck my friend.Might be the muzzle that's off but in all honesty I'm not really the helpful type.
>>25420518
My pleasure
>>25420654
Appreciate ya
>>25418513
Thanks, you made my day.
Bumping with a Safe Haven drawing from awhile back.
>>25418984
When the body is turned 3/4s, the hip is hidden by the stomach (see pic). It's often overlooked. Also you'll want to extend the lower legs -- they're almost as long as the head. Nostrils are on the front of the snout. Artist's choice, but I like to put ear fuzz on the rear side of the ear (left, pointing right in your pic). Raise her cutie mark up, and make it bitter -- it should span almost her whole thigh. Her thigh is very round. I like big butts, but I cannot lie that it's too big for her legs.
I also like the perspective you chose. It's cute.
>>25420125
I recognized your art before I saw your namefagging. It's me, Rat :^)
An octobob for ya
>>25422917
And a random pone from a while ago.
Sorry for image flips. Does it whenever i post from phone.

> holding your breath
> not breath out before firing
Anon doesn't know what he's doing
>>25372587
My computer doesn't have Internet at the moment but I can post some stuff I've done on my phone.
Here is an anon filly
>>25423195
And for the giant pony threads
>>25423201
And an older program I used to use
>>25415080
Sorry but it's against the rules, you should not draw anthro.
>>25423182
Oh yes he does.
I didn't want to write a full instruction on rifle shooting, because it would look bad ascetically so I simplified it.
You do want to breath out before firing, but you'll want to hold your breath until you've pulled the trigger.
>>25421976
Right on, I'll fix those issues in shoop.
Appreciate the feedback.
>>25423195
>I had a penis. That was pretty cool.
lel
Here was something I did about 4 years ago in basic training.people to include drill sergeants found out.I ended up redrawing it 14 times at a larger scale for people
>>25408822
Did you drew this?
>>25423415
Oh, whoops.
I fucked up... though I am curious as to what differentiates Anthro vs Satyr for the sake of avoiding rule-breaking and such
>>25425350
>being sorry towards a rulefag
Holy fucking shit. You are the reason this board won't gets its golden age again.
Grow yourself a pair of balls already. It wasn't even porn!
>>25423415
and you are a negroid. it can't bother you, it's a drawing on an art thread. gtfo.
>>25425376
Hey, man, all I did was ask about the difference. And the post got deleted anyways, so it's not a big deal anymore. Let's just move on and keep sharing artwork.
>>25425401
wouldn't blame it on you but protip: if you want to keep up on drawing and such, don't let yourself intimidated by autists going all like, "i'm oiffended by X" you have freedom of speech. use it.
dunno what ot draw, might just make some lewd appleblewm
>>25425429
>>25425429
>>25425478
I quit, I can't top this.
>>25372587
here's mine
I wish I could paint ponies more often. I have almost a foot in muh professional art with some professional artists from Riot or from big animtion studios in my contacts, it's getting complicated... I'm afraid they laugh at me if they see that I only like to paint fanarts, they're pretty intolerant with this
>>25425530
depends, if it's well done they might consider the effort over the content.
anyways having contacts like them is always a good thing!
>>25425530
Also I have to deal on finding new subjects that haven't been done or please people
feels like everything has been done so far
>>25425515
top tier
>>25425530
Oh wow, this is really nice. You said you painted this? Like, paint and canvas? Or a paint program? Damn you, pros. Got any tips for getting results like yours? All mine seem to be really sharp-looking, while yours and a lot of great artists I've seen have that really soft feel to it.
>>25425530
kek, I know some people that work for them. I doubt they actually really care. Actually funny story, A friend and I drew pony porn as a social experiment. Some guys that work at ubisoft asked for my portfolio and I accidentally sent them that and then said, "I was supposed to take that to my grave." We all laughed hardheartedly and went back to drawing.
As long as you don't put it in your main portfolio, no one cares.
>>25425563
Combination of different brushes on my part. I'm very particular with how I organize my brushes. The important thing to remember is to start whit big brushes and work your way down.
>>25425587
Ah, I see. I'm stuck using SAI right now... Thinking about trying to get away from using outlines and such. But that's good to know, using the larger brushes first. Hrm.
>>25425555
Thanks to Trojan Horse was a Unicorn, I met a lot of very well known artists like Craig Mullins and popular studios were interested in hiring me, you should take a look on it it's a very great convention !
>>25425563
thank you, I painted it digitally with Photoshop CS6. The tip I can give you is that if you want a smooth render I advice you to use a soft brush with pen pressure. Serge Birault is a master on "smooth look" and realistic portraits. On his masterclass he adviced to put the opacity of the brush very low and be careful at every of his brush strokes. Just control your movements and take your time while painting ! Look at references too it helps a lot. I have like 5 references images next to me while I paint
>>25425614
You don't have to stop using outlines, just use clipping masks, lasso tool, or something and a big brush to block in the general shapes.
>>25425620

TFW had a ticket to THU but had to sell it because my grandmother abroad died and I needed to use the money to go there. All my mates told me I missed so much. Even Iain McWafu getting all sweaty doing pushups on stage.
>>25425646
*waifu.
fuck the police
The people that host THU were really nice about it though when I asked them about the ticket transfer, they sent their condolences and gave me 33% off for next year. Really good people there and I'm definitely going to go.
Man, dreaming of the day I can do something like what you guys have posted... Lovely work, all of it. Makes my heart warm.
>>25425646
>>25425679
woah sucks, if I knew a fellow horsefucker would be here, I was like the only one there with my curious giddy up pony t-shirt. Ian McCaig is awesome on stage and fucking Kim Jung Gi. Daisuke Tsutsumi's panel was very interesting too, he's one of my biggest inspiration !
I'm not sure if they will continue THU next year because Andre was very exhausted of this year... But for sure in two years THU will continue, it's a very great experience and everybody is so nice. (you can go to THU meet ups too)
>>25425561
i know that's certainly an unfinished piece but so far it looks beautiful. and relaxing~
i'm sure there's plenty things to explore left in matter of subjects.
perso, i'm just stuck in a uninspired-phase-therefore-draw-gloomy-stuff.
would make an alternate mlp world comic if i had a lot of time in my hands for it.
>>25425762
>i know that's certainly an unfinished piece but so far it looks beautiful. and relaxing~
merci Patachu C: nope it's a speed painting ! that's why it looks unfinished, i made it in one hour approximatively
I know this phase you're into ! Good luck with your comic :D
>>25411403
>>25425728
Aye, I think I'll do just that. I know a lot of my study mates in UP and Netherlands save up go to massive Drink and Draws in Germany and the like. They always want me to come along but I'm stationed in Asia saving up my freelance money so I can invest in a business or more land and real estate later on.
Kek, if I saw someone in that shirt I would have complemented it.
>>25425777
Made in an hour...?! Damn... That's another thing I gotta work on: speed.
>>25425816
*UK, man I can't type today.
>>25425819
Don't worry about speed, just take as much time as you need to understand something. Speed comes with skill and familiarity with workflow.
good night everoneim glad u all enjoyed my represenationtion of the mane six
i worked hard on it i want to be artist like u
>>25425777
t-thanks! ;w ;
>>25425883
it was amazing, i'm sure the FRAC would rant you a gallery to expose them. all you need is a hipster smug asshole saying things like,
"So deep, This work explores the relationship between the body and midlife subcultures. With influences as diverse as Kierkegaard and Erwin Schrodinger to inspire Anon, new tensions are generated from both simple and complex meanings.
Ever since I was a child I have been fascinated by the theoretical limits of the mind. What starts out as contemplation soon becomes finessed into a dialectic of futility, leaving only a sense of unreality and the unlikelihood of a new synthesis.
As momentary forms become clarified through diligent and repetitive practice, the viewer is left with an epitaph for the limits of our culture."

I'm legit depressed at my inability to git this gud.
>>25426991
I know, right? Same...
>>25428189
What gets me the most is that it looks like I peaked at being able to draw okay.
Nothing worse than not being able to break through the mediocrity threshold.
>>25426991
>>25428189
Draw more, holmes. Just keep drawing.
>>25428663
Eeyup...
>>25429163
Yeah, I'll keep that in mind. :<
>>25429163
No doubt. I have no intentions of stopping.
Just frustrating being so out classed sometimes though.
>>25429163
So much this. Read, understand, apply and evaluate. Just learn in general as well. Even picking up something else to do along side it like writing helps a lot with design and composition more than you think.
>>25431733
yeah just follow in my exapmleSeriously though, you guys are amazing, good thing I'm a word person not an art person
>tfwI drew this one in the attempt to distract myself from sorrow 4 hours after my grandma has been hospitalized with stroke

Cute drawing, anon that's some awesome artwork you've got thereJesus, this weekend just seems to be the weekend of tragedies
Bumping with WIP, my next illustration for OhPonyBoy channel, there will be 3 characters in it, 1h30 of work since I started it
