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.

I don't even own a cell phone
>>25751187
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.

Otherwise, you do plan on continuing, they should approach your drawings here with /ic/ and I am sure either myself or others will help you with specific problems and that

>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

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.
It's one thing to just copy a pose, but in order to learn, you have to absorb the information that's presented and use it in the next practices
>>25755697
But Zim, we always do, that's the meme.

>>25755670
>>25755723
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.

Guys, can I get a critique? I'm trying to learn to paint digitally.
>>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.

I just tried drawing a pony head and I hate it. I need to go look at my tutorials again. I just finally got someone to tell me about proper eye placement, I cannot figure out why my head shape looks so weird when I start out with a circle and work in three dimensions.
I'm shit at actual pony bodies so I'm just sticking to headsat least publicly
>>25748935
please.
>>25756540
yes, even I admit, the attitude is awful.
>>25756540
There are plenty of anons here who are willing to help you "git gud" I for one can help with basics and red like to a mediocre standard.

Of course I would, Flutterbutter.

Just post a few sketches to give everyone an idea of what you need help on. If you're seeing mistakes that's fine but if you're having issues correcting these mistakes then there's no shame in asking for a 2nd opinion.
>>25756618
Just post something and someone can help. It doesn't matter how bad you are at it, so long as you have a good attitude about it you can and will get better

I think you're overanalyzing him.
I just had the radio on, half-listening to some moronic Sunday afternoon radio talk show, and heard someone say "Well, there are no evil people, only evil acts, and we have to teach our children to have empathy for everyone." That was so much derp packed into so few words that I had to turn the radio off.
I don't really care why Zimbaweeaboo trolls and shitposts. I just want him to go away. Maybe he can get a Tumblr and neglect to give us its address. Hint, hint.

Okay, I drew this one a little while ago. I'll post the sketch I'm working on to practice pony heads in a second.

He's been here years and the only thing that's change is his attitude's gotten worse again, no one "trolling" would be this determined All good shitposters know when the joke has gone stale and when to back off or change it up, if it doesn't change then likely they aren't "trolling"
>>25756737
would you like a red line?
Also that is pretty cute
>>25756737
I know you want critique on the pony itself but the thing the that sticks out to me the most is your thick, uncontrolled lines. It's a sign that you aren't being "loose" with your drawing and that you're pressing down too hard on the pencil. Work on getting rid of this heavy-handedness. If I've commented on it before then sorry. It can take a while to get rid of.

>>25756772
Sure.
>>25756819
This is a problem that I've struggled with for a while even when I'm just writing. I don't know who taught me to press down so hard with my writing instruments. Probably the same person that let me practically slam on the keys of a keyboard. I've been trying to correct it.
Anyway, here's another one of my traditional sketches. I think it shows the same problems. Man oh man, if you could see where I was two years ago with a very similar sketch...I might be a slow learner, but I can see progress.
>>25756623
Are you, by chance, left handed?
>>25756872
I can't draw the EQG style very well but it sounded fun
>>25756969
Right handed.

The pose is very "stiff". You have the right ideas you just need a lot of polish. I'd elaborate but I'm posting from mobile which makes it hard to give proper examples since all of my references are on my PC.
>>25756975
You aced it, gurl
How many years have you been drawing?
>>25756992
Darn. I like to guess handedness based on hatching direction.
>>25757005
Yeah, I can understand that. I've been told that I need to understand anatomy being stiff before I can go dynamic. I've done a few of those gesture drawings with humans.
I have an idea in my head for a pony trotting and want to try it out, so I've been looking at some tutorials. But again I wanted to make sure I could walk before I tried to run.

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
>>25757063
Replace Sci-light with Nyx and you got a deal.
>>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.
Good Trump pony. It has not been made yet

>>25757089
Yeah, that's the exact pose that I wanted. Now, I tried doing a portrait shot of a generic unicorn mare. I was told to keep the eyes above the centre line.
>>25757110
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".
>>25757317
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?
>>25757379
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.
>>25757391
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.
