Just do it and you'll learn.

Take pic related for example. Literally drop it into your favorite art program and eyedrop the colors and attempt to replicate it. You can and should do this with any reference.

Color is daunting since it's so much information but if you take it one step at a time it gets easy. Hell, just stick with one color and just work on value. I highly recommend this at any rate. Getting your lights and darks in a work can make or break said piece.

Glenn Vilppu's figuring drawing seems heavily influenced by da Vinci's work.

https://youtu.be/pa_2rL1K1mg

I began following his example when it came to finding the flow and forms of the figure and it began showing up in my pony drawings. I should really start figure drawing again.

God damn it. Glenn had another 30 minute figure drawing demo where he was shown using reference and it got taken down. Fucking bullshit.

Well, that would be Photoshop CC.

If you're looking for alternatives to Photoshop, there are free softwares listed in the OP. As a Photoshop user I'd recommend Krita over the other two, personally.

>If praise and positive feedback is the only reason you're drawing, then you're doing it wrong.
There is no wrong or right reason for drawing.. You can draw for a bag of oxygen and your still in the good. Now reasons have can add morals and drive to drawing but still its not wrong to use and only use praise/positive feedback for drawing. Whats wrong is the morality of not 'wanting' to get better. Lets be honest Zim has been drawing in the same style for years. absolutely no change what so ever in his style. His determination, dedication, and i hate to say it but also skill to continually draw in the same manor for over atleast 3 years is and should be unconceivable.. You would need to take classes to be that 'bad. 'He nailed the style and perfected it to a T. The fact he still gets replies is also alarming to me personally as oldfags should know whats going on. In my oppinion its the reason he still draws on this thread at all. To get replies. Which again isnt a wrong or bad reason to draw

Zimbabwe himself has transcended from a simple meme to a complete work of art. A top notch-meme machine generating hatred everywhere he goes.. I wish i had that much power to do that

Perhaps not wrong or right, but it's still not a good reason to be drawing. If getting ass pats and praise is the ONLY reason you're drawing, and if you get so obsessed over it, you're not doing yourself any favors. If you're really not enjoying the drawing process, you're not getting anything out of it. Especially if you're not getting that praise you obsess over so much.

Look at others that may be mediocre at best. Certain more simplistic CYOAs, some /b/ drawfags and Silence. While Silence doesn't really seem to have made all that much noticeable improvement, he still seems to be enjoying himself and so he keeps on drawing. Zimbabwe on the other hand, while it's true that he keeps on drawing, he's only as he's admitted many times, driving himself insane and only hurting himself with that mindset he has about drawing

They're asking you if you just mindlessly copied that picture by either heavily referencing, tracing, or a combination of both, or if you actually read the tutorial and applied the techniques and tricks that they were trying to show you in said tutorial.

Fucking this. If you don't know how a sketch is supposed to look then you weren't observing this thread. There are plenty of posters who show the construction phase of their drawings and who experiment with anatomy and proportions.

And stop using that gaudy pen. Use a brush that's less opaque that can be uses for sketching. If you can't line (you can't) then keep it sketchy but clean it up a bit.

I've given this advice to you before.

>>
>>25755893
I wish I could comment but I'm a complete beginner to painting digitally. The fact that you're trying puts you on the right road.

The colors look good (to my untrained eye) and there's nothing too jarring going on. There some nice composition going and my eye is drawn to the sunset. Perspective on the fence on the left seems a little off but its nothing that stands out right away. Pony in the tree is a little strange only because she's isn't adding much to the "story" that's going on. If there's no clear reason why she's napping in the tree then maybe she shouldn't be there. But if you chalk it off as a silly slice of life type of thing then I'd say that's fine.

Keep going man. I like it.

Hey, someone posted on Derpibooru trying to get more anons to show up here. I've been doing some traditional stuff recently but have the typical problem of being able to see all of my errors the second I finish a sketch.

I've posted here before but decided to step away until I "got gud." I don't think I'm really there yet but I'm still terrified of posting my amateur mistake filled artwork and being compared to Zim or some shit. That being said I'm keeping an eye on this thread. I'm mainly focusing on portraits of ponies for now. Maybe I'll post one if I really put work into it.

If I've commented on it before then sorry. It can take a while to get rid of.

I can only assume you're going for a sitting pose like some sort of dog, so I adjusted the back legs quite a bit. In retrospect your facial features and eyes were spot on but as you can see I added a little bit of cheekbone to help make the face a little bit more believable. Your ears were a bit too short on the placement of her fore-hoofs was incorrect, at least where they connected to the torso
>>

>>
>>25757055
I can elaborate a little. Aside from the pose itself being stiff, spike isn't properly grounded. It's like his entire body and limbs aren't adhering to gravity. Almost like the way one can imagine a body stiffening up when being electrocuted. Put your reference side by side and you'll see what I mean. Tracing can give you an idea of what you're doing wrong.

The electrocution thing is kind of true, I can see. I'm trying to think of what would make a good dynamic pose for him. Something that would be rather loose with a pony like running is surprisingly stiff for him based on what I've seen. I'll keep trying because I know Spike is rather difficult to nail down.

I'll give you a tip when it comes to construction. How you go about putting facial features solely depends on what you're personally used it and practice. You can follow vague advice in the beginning but soon you'll be doing it a way that's unique to you. Like where you set the eyes; I personally put the eyes to where the bottom of the eye is just a tad below the horizontal axis. That lines also acts as a placeholder of where the cheeks are and where the jawline MIGHT be. Notice even when I describe my method it isn't concrete. I can change things on a whim and I don't let the undersketch control me. This takes experimentation to learn and "feel out".

your proportions were little better this time but you did forget to add that cheek on the far side. I did notice that the cylinder used for the neck in a circle used for the head were quite well done. Using a reference?

I used to have the center line dissect the eye roughly in half, but it made my eye placement look strange. I like this idea of keeping it above the line though I think it makes my head overall look different.

Oh man, is this that "squashed head syndrome" thing but with ponies? I read about that in my meme drawing book.

I used a reference in regards to the top of the head and the way that the bottom of the head meet the neck.

Question: how did you decide the placement of the redlined guidelines? Was that just so the cheek makes sense where it is? I'm having trouble seeing the horizontal guideline being raised up a bit's effect.
