Yay new thread. Finished that painting from this morning, thanks again to critique anon for helping me with the background!

>>42266220
nice

>>42266220
looking mad impressive, wild how much difference good shading makes

>>42266220
looks good

Here's a WIP. I still need to add some AO to the helmet, but does the lighting look okay? I didn't use a reference and I kind of winged it lol

>>42266621
looks fine

>>42266881
Keep it up anon! I recently did a 30 day drawing challenge too. I'd say it did help my skills a bit.
(I will post more again soon.)

>>42266881
godspeed anon

>>42266881
hell yeah brother lets get streaky

haven't been drawing much lately due to work but i'm trying to get back to it with some okarun ponies

>>42266621
There's always something to add. You should definitely use references. Other artists make it textured, add more complex geometry and highlights, so it doesn't look plain and flat.
But for now, I think the cast shadow by her horn is too dark, or there should be some other places as dark as the cast shadow.

>>42266221
>>42266550
Thanks!!
>>42266254
It really is (also thank you!). I really wanna up my shading game more though so this piece was great practice too.

hi /bale/, I drew this on my laptop trackpad in bed last night whilst waiting for my bezos to kick in. I remembered I really liked these threads, so I wanted to post it here

>>42267191
Very stylish

>>42267518
Damn that's really nice, especially for using a trackpad.

>>42266220
the result looks great! I'm glad I was able to help somehow. I returned here just to check how the drawing ended up looking.

I'm not an 'art god', but I'm open to the idea of screensharing on vc or trying to share tips through magma -- mostly to solve my arsty friends art struggles. so far it has worked, I guess.

I know most anons would rather stay anons, but = free art class for anyone who wants that, yay

and back to the topic; neat artwork, keep up the good work~~

>>42268868

the position of the light, the reflections, and the shadows all seem to be in the right place, which in itself is already a good thing if you do it from the start of your pony art learning. so good job on that!

like someone else said above, refs do help when it comes to giving an idea of how to add texture to certain things, or how a specific body part moves, etc.

personally, I have hundreds of brushes I collected throughout the years (I use Photoshop, and yeah, I'm a bit masochistic) and I play around with the highlights and shadows using halftones, random dots of dust reflecting light, cloudy stuff, gritty terrain, so on. I enjoy mixing a bunch of things and seeing how it looks like. sometimes it's simply awful, sometimes it's amazing, but it's def worth trying.there's more advanced stuff, but it's not necessary rn imo

if you allow me, I'll quickly just add some stuff as an example, to the helmet and the bg. I think the current drawing is good, considering how you seem to be learning quite fast, so I wouldn't spend even more time with it, and would move on. but I'd love to try adding some quick stuff to it, just so, maybe, you decide to do similar things in the future.

I started writing my fanfiction yesterday and idly doodled the first character for it today.

>>42272070
>>42272089
Nice style, I can see that you are experienced in art. You've got nice shapes going in both of the images. The Maud one seems to be more anthro inspired. Do you prefer that or have you tried more horse-inspired anatomy? Once again nice art!

How do I make an OC?

>>42274182
Are you at least a 4 on the apple visualization scale?

>>42274182
no need for >>42274217 if you are that helps more but ultimately its down to your discretion. just draw a bald pony on one layer then draw hair styles on another until you hit one you like or alternatively if you have a hair style you like fine references for it then apply to pony how you see fit. the hardest part really is finding a color pallet and finding the perfect balance of design. best thing you can do is Keep It Simple Stupid, limit facial or body markings to one or two more makes them look diseased unless your drawing a straight up irl animal, make the mane easy to reliably draw with a simple 2 or, at max 3 tone pallet. makes it way easier to draw trust me. if you like visible hoofs and fetlocks add them but don't go full tumblr with them. try to keep things clean and easy to remember, If you cannot recall how to draw your oc from memory alone then its to over complicated. at the same time going to simple makes the oc look lazy and derivative, if they look like a clone of a million other ocs then it not going to get interest what so ever. the key is balance and you are going to have to try and fail from experience. try to avoid hard color palettes in favor of pastel colors, you can find pallets on google easily by typing in "pastel color palettes" then find one you like a lot and use that. for cutiemarks take inspiration from the show, for names I cannot help you cause I'm not good with them.

>>42274182
Define why you want one, it can be any reason. Make one on your own based on existing designs-- be it an OC or show character. If you like long hair, give it long hair. If you like mares, make her a mare.
Your OC must have functional digestive systems also that's a rule too, intake and output, etc.
Don't gotta' think about it too hard in most cases.

Aba guilty gear mare

>>42274302
Hi muffinz! not a fan of how thin the mare is but the interaction between the mare and key is nice, it has a strong line of action, it also has a nice color choice, and a nice a texture selection. love the wings too they are detailed but not overly so, in my opinion, they have a great balance. genuinely love it! would love to support you else where if possible.

>>42274259
I'll add on to this that things like clothing or accessories (hats, saddles, glasses, etc.) can go a long way to give an OC a good bit of visual flair without going overboard. As for the colors, i asked for help with that over at NHNB during the site downtime and got some great advice about it, even being linked to some really useful online tools. Check them out

Okay I did like four or five pieces of art last night because my inspiration is a lot broken and so a do nothing for a week and suddenly a lot on a single day. Let's began with an OC I did toy older sister for her birthday.
I should do it on digital later because the coloring looks crappy but I wanted to finish it asap.

>>42274649
Nice use of the pencil, this thread despite the name has a lot of gem that honestly put me on shame.

Want to make some personalized keychains and stickers myself so I tried to make one to experiment with the style. I'm in doubt if the shaky line work has any charm or would it better to use Inkscape and the curve tools instead of the pencil. Kept the check board background because I ended up getting used to.

Tf shit, need to learn how to draw humans and pick tome consistent style.

>>42274649
qt aj

>>42274973
Shaky lines are nice when it's uniform. You could try increasing the stabilisation to get smoother and more controlled arcs without needing to vectorise it in inkscape.
For what it's worth anon, I would buy that sticker regardless of how you do it, kino!

good god practicing anatomy is infuriating

>>42275025

That style is very familiar. Pleasantly surprised to have you here, if you're who I think you are.

>>42274259
>>42274495
Thanks.

>>42275040
nothing in particular
it's just that the pony body needs good linework to look appealing and it takes me at least half a dozen attempts to get a good curve for every party of the body

>>42275094
I'll be real. Anatomy is pretty hard, what you can do in-between getting into is to hard references screenshots and existing art. When you learn the ways anatomy is gonna get almost by instinct. At least you're trying to learn muscles and bones that is not an easy nor funny thing.
>>42274995
Thanks for the recommendation, this is meant to be reduced to like 4 inches so is not gonna be that noticeable. Gonna keep your advice on mind.

>>42276936
I actually quite love perspective, would you mind if I redlined this?

>>42277001
Yeah, go ahead. Perspective used to be something I was good at way back in highschool, but years of not picking up a pencil really fucked that up. I also don't have a straight edge long enough to reach across the whole page so that probably didn't help

>>42275450

>>42274950
I agree, good haircut bad execution. So I was already trying something different right after posting

how do i improve at drawing stuff like circles and curved lines my hand sucks at that kind of stuff, im left handed btw

>>42277468
If you're already using the correct hand/elbow/shoulder movement when drawing lines then there are only two options.
More repetitions or using tools that draw circles for you, as far as I know

>>42277468
practice makes perfect

>>42277468
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f312sDwg770
how i improved my line confidence

>>42277468
Hello fellow leftie, the other anon is right it's mostly repition of circles and curved lines if you are using your whole arm (fingers, wrist, elbow and shoulder) to draw. Be mindful of some of the lines you make and change according to how you want it too look like. I usually do a couple circles, lines and cubes as warmup before I start on my drawings for the day like pic rel (a lot of scribbling today I'm usually a bit more organized). With time your lines will be more confident. Draw a box first couple of lessons are pretty good.

Today's lazy doodles and my various pones for the day. Magma has proven to be really fun, I encourage some of you to join in on the /bale/ channel. I had no energy to clean anything up further today.
>>42277465
yeah, that's the idea. A lazy flop onto the pillow would have her hair all messy like that. Looks very nice

>>42277551
To clarify (and double post), I am the pink. draw friend in black is much speedier than I.

>>42276740
do the upper thighs really have a line bulge like that for muscles? It looks really weird. I'm sad to see there's also not a lot of variation in horsepussy/ponut size or fetlock styles.

>>42276740
Holy moly! I like how you made Trixie more on the leaner side, guess from all the traveling she does, and holy shit Twilight's arse is juicy.

How does this pregnant mare look? I'm trying for a size that's quite plump, but not ridiculous. A critique or redline would be awesome if anyone wants to. I'll probably clean up and color sometime this week, maybe adding a background if I can make a bed or pillow look right underneath her.

Messing around with a new brush

>>42279071
Thicc

>>42279061
It looks lovely and very clean. It is going to be saved and look at again later tonight.
A bed would be pretty simple to add in, I did this in a few minutes to show what I mean. I did it in one point, but it's really up to you how you want to tackle it (or just wing it and not bother with perspective points). You've got some real thick contour lines there, so if you do that with the background also, you might have a hard time pushing the soft fabric of the quilt around unless you switch to a softer/pressure sensitive brush. Your linework is wonderful and thick (as is the mare!). I love looking at it and your she is really really pretty. It doesn't necessarily look like she's pregnant, but that's for the because you cannot see the belly at this angle. In terms of redlining the body itself, I would maybe raise where the up a bit more towards her snout. Other than that, I wouldn't fiddle around with much else, get a background in and have fun with colour, then move onto the next pone. Good work anon.
>>42279071
Looking wonderful, love the lashes and the supple linework around her dock/tail root.
and of course her big pony butt.

>>42279748
>but that's for the because you cannot see the belly at this angle
Oh doi, I saw the belly as part of her leg. It took me a little bit of looking away from it to see it for what it was, oops. You may way to avoid your lines kissing at the same angle like that since it does create a bit of visual confusion. Even though the line isn't jutting from the hind, it does create a bit of visual tension when it's too perfectly lined up like that. There's less depth to it, especially when the contours are all the same uniform line weight/size.
You could just shift the figure around a tiny bit so you avoid that from happening. It would make sense here since she's hiking her butt up and her torso is folding down into the bed, so her belly would jut out a tiny bit below the top of the hind anyway. It could be as simple as just hiking her legs up a tiny bit or the barrel of her torso down a bit. You'll help push the form of the belly out since you won't homogenise it with the kissing of the two lines at the top. I'm never really one to give advice so I hope this makes sense and is useful. I really like the drawing and hope the background goes well.

Dicking around with expressions.

>>42279748
>>42279799
Thanks anon! Yeah, I think you're right about the belly attaching to the butt in a way that makes them hard to distinguish. I will try moving both around or reshaping and hopefully that doesn't mess something else up lol. I'm not sure, but maybe the butt actually needs to move down to fit the perspective? But then her back would be visible and need to blend with the neck and belly maybe hmmmmm

Back to drawing ponies.

>>42280108
If you're talking about me, I think it's more low effort so I assumed it belonged. I'm not very versed in drawing ponies so I really didn't how they'd turn out. My general quality tends to fluctuate in a way which makes my skill feel inconsistent.
Plus I'm just a very slow illustrator.

>>42280108
bottom right hand corner artist here, I started drawing here 2 years, 2 months, 10 days ago exactly. I have made a pretty good amount progress so far, when I drew that I had been drawing 1 year and 8 months roughly. I daily posted here for a while until fairly recently and my style has changed quite significantly since I've started. I have significantly slowed down in draws compared to my first 2 years, gotta avoid burn out from nearly daily drawing for 2 years straight. if you'd like to check out my progress search artist:scandianon on your booru of choice then go to the last page and work your way back.

Cute! Which OC is this? Looks like an alien pone.
>>42283923
It's a good piece, I like the form of the Zyn can. You could try out doing some pony gestures drawings where you really push the pose. You could also work on your shapes to make em look more 3d when doing the lines. That will help later when oyu introduce shading into the mix, studying values and colour theory are really essential then too.

thanks, nice Fluttershy, I'm a euro actually but those espressino zyns are the best, velo seem too artificial and intense in their flavour to me
I think I need to draw more sketches instead of finished pieces because they take so long and I could draw a couple of unfinished sketches to drill the poses and proportions in the meantime

>>42284837
Yeah, it's Batsy's alien pone, Reticula. She sadly doesn't have much art, but she's so cute.

Ayy fellow euro! Also thanks. I personally don't use snus but the few times I've tried it's deff like you described, too artificial. I think you've got a good plan on doing more sketches and focusing on the parts you feel need improvement.

maybe a total noob question but where'd you learn them? do you have a sort of a bank of expressions in your mind or do they come naturally with enough practice?

It's a mixture of mimicing stuff I've seen in cartoons, trying to find the best way to exaggerate a normal expression, and trying to make myself laugh.

Also, if I'm going to post, I might as well staple a margin doodle to this one.

is it ok to post an nsfw wip? :0

kind of a beginner, been drawing ponies for a while but still need to improve a lot i think.

>>42287890
Welcome to the board. Visible nipples or genitalia in an image will get it deleted, but it's fine to upload it to an image host - we prefer catbox.moe for this - and link the image in your post. Lurk for a little while, you'll get the idea.

>>42287890
I think you need to upload those to catbox or something similar and post a link, maybe add a picture of a censored version to gather attention for your post as well, at least that's how I've seen others do it

>>42287895
>>42287897
Ty!! I hope I censored enough out?

I still need to add shading and some more highlights but I’m busy with uni stuff rn.

https://files.catbox.moe/miuo7z.png

>>42287964
Your drawing is nice! Her cutie mark would be curving around her flank at this angle, it'd be fun to draw so don't forget it since you'll miss out on slinking that shape around.
An aside, but try to avoid contractions like 'rn' and 'ty!!', double hitting enter when making a new line, and using emotes when posting.

>>42288040
thanks! i will definetly add her cutie mark. and im sorry i didnt know. is there a rule against it or something? i must have missed it.

Every time I draw a mare it's always that last back leg behind everything else that kills me. I never know where to put it. Does it look fucked?

>>42288186
There's a number of micro rules and social faux-pas. It's all about how posts are structured and worded which differentiate newfags from users who've been sticking around for long periods. They're unspoken and instantiate a common 'decorum'/culture.
Explaining this to you feels like a faux pas in and of itself, since the correct response would be to be rude and tell you to lurk— but I don't care, /bale/ is comfy.

>>42287964
Must resist the urge to pull on the rings...

>>42288226
the furthest rear leg is fine the one that's off is the one closest to the viewer, that leg is too thin. showing a little bit of the hock is a perfectly acceptable way to draw the rear leg. the one on the right is how I would personally do it. she's a cute by the way.

>>42288236
well thanks for not being rude to me because i am a newfag. kinda. i used to lurk here a lot when wild manes first came out but life got in the way and i didnt use 4chan for a while.

>>42288346

Thank you very much, moon kin.

>>42288439
I fucking adore her expression. a real cutie!
>>42288346
Seeing this really hammers home home I always underplay size and spacing with my own drawn pone legs. I just kinda vaguely get it to a point and stop thinking. That and I just hone in my focus without ever looking at the big picture till way too far in. Silly.
I'll fix this when it's not 5AM.

I have obtained a transparent straight edge so I can try this again. Going to try and do some digital coloring on it like I did for the last one.

Very cute. The hat and fluffy hair is an excellent combination

>>42289085
I think these are colors I can stick with for this one

nice pone, whats the cutiemark? an aurora?

Trying to work out a cool Moonie helmet (mostly stolen from a ja0822ck drawing lol)

Any advice on how to draw dicks? I don’t draw them very often, so I’m wondering if this looks weird or not. Also how to draw hair highlights? It’s not specific to this drawing but it’s kinda hard and always just looks wrong when I add it.
https://files.catbox.moe/aszp7d.png

>>42291159
Yeah, it's an aurora. Just tried refining the design here >>42282314

His butt throws meteors

Does anyone have a compendium type image of lots of pony hairstyles?

>>42291343
try not drawing the dick veins like tumorous worms under the skin, so don't use solid outlines. You should also practice drawing curving cylinders, the medial ring should be more prominent. And they have human penis heads, common mistake I know. But google "horse genital flare" and do a little research to get it right or you might as well just be drawing human dicks.

The bird forgot to turn her oven off

>>42292038
you mean like make the veins smaller? it was kind of a stylistic choice but if it looks strange then i’ll try something different in future drawings.
maybe i could do some horsecock studies and post them here for feedback? if that’s acceptable in this thread.

>>42292056
gives me Ren & Stimpy vibes for some reason, her expression is cool especially the eye.

>>42292502
I think he means the lines around the veins are too thick, almost as if the veins are protuding off of the dick grotesquely instead of being nestled snugly under the skin. Not like the veins need to be smaller, more like they need to be shallower in the skin like the veins on a leaf, not like the vines that wrap around a tree.
Image related

>>42292502
Good Lord I just looked at the image youre asking for help on. Not bad, but a little grotesque. The veins certainly pop a bit too much, try using a gradient or a shader instead of simple lines, or at the least make the lines 50% opaque.
Image related, cock veins don't look like this.

>>42292655
I'm vaguely tempted to draw a horrifying mushroom dick in that style just to see what it would look like

>>42291343
>>42292502
I'll chime in and play devils advocate a little since I've done big ol veins in dicks before. Artists like syuro draw pretty massive/hyper veins in his dicks, I would study his art in the past a fair bit. It's stylistic, and very over the top, but it doesn't clash with since he uses tone and careful contouring/linework. I'll upload an example from a psd I have of his, it should show what I mean.
https://puu(period)sh/KvSEx.png
Your uniform lines, whilst clean generally considered, doesn't lend itself well for things like veins since you'll naturally have a hard time differentiating what exactly is going on with the vein. Think about it, ,it's a tube under the skin, pushing that skin upward, it's not a sharp transition of form, instead soft and gradual. So thin that line out a ton, or break the line as you thin it. Past flat colour, you can lay in a screen/multiply/add layer to help bounce some light and tonal shifts across it without needing to use lines at all for parts.
Of course, many anons aren't into it, but that's a subjective quality, so it's not that you shouldn't do it just because of that.
Gangbang's fucking suck though anon so I'll give you shit for that at least.

Thank you. I've just been drawing random expressions trying to get away from the stock smile. I can see the Ren & Stimpy comparison, I think I'm subconsciously drawing Spongebob expressions lol

>>42292797
Yeah, it's certainly more of a hyper specific 'thing'. It draws a lot of attention to the pp and pushes the form in this really heady/over the top kind of way. I'm partial to it, but only if what I'm drawing is over the top in on the whole. To be honest, I don't draw hyper really at all now because it just gets a bit ridiculous. There's more joy to be found in restraint.

>>42292844
I would love to join but I have never been able to draw as I have stupid fingers, and I get too frustrated when I make mistakes. Clay was always my thing, unfortunately I do not have access to a kiln, or I'd be hyper fixated on making every pony related thing I can think of.

>>42292871
True, still sounds fun tho

>>42292925
Try synthetic, very low temperature fireable clay. Polymer clay can be fired in a home oven. You'll need to learn how to now have it come out brittle, there's a lot of guides online, but it is possible.
For bigger masses, you'd probably want to vertically slice and scoop the middle out so it doesn't explode in the oven. After, you'd just glue them together once they're all fired and ready. Certainly is possible to make some good results without a kiln.

>>42292941
That sounds like a great idea, I'm gonna have to try that. But I guess I'll be stuck with acrylic paint? I really love glaze and without it I think I'm gonna feel kind of empty. Me likey shiney.

>>42292953
I'll have to find this one post I saw on twitter, but it showcased a neat little trick which gave a glaze-like shine with a thin layer of hot glue over the acrylic paint. It is possible.

Funny idea I had for a comic

Some draws I've made during a conversation

>>42269146
This challenge involves only using pen/felt-liner pens right so you’re not stuck trying to correct already done negligible mistakes?
Other than that, might want to try to make larger smoother lines from the elbow or shoulder instead of the wrist.

Thank you bro. I hadn't planned on doing super mare 3 but maybe that's something I could attempt. Also just want to say I have been loving all these prompt drawings you have been doing, you have been making great stuff. Favorite one in the thread so far is the one with Trixie swooning over shirtless anon.
>>42306494
That is lookin nice, cute mare bro. I just have one minor critique, I feel like you could separate her thigh and lower leg a bit more, her back legs kinda look like one long tube. That's the only thing that stands out to me though, the rest is tight. Her face in particular looks really good
>>42306565
Based painter anon, that is dope bro. Would love to see you do a KGLW album

>>42306534
Some say she might be too tall.... Or just too old.
>>42306639
Appreciate it!
>you could separate her thigh and lower leg a bit more
A bit tired but if I got it right you mean like have her back legs have some space between em and not be "mushed" together right? Kinda realized some mistakes after inking this but I'll take note of em and do better next time. Won't spend too much time on this anyhow, just some colouring and shading.

>>42306664
>>42306639
nvm I got it, I think. Lower the hock and leave more space for the tigh/flank right? Maybe redraw em too to get better form conveyed.

>>42305975
Okay I showed this to him and said it was pretty cool

>>42303009
I requested the GTA character wheel with the CMC on a previous draw thread and I have yet to see a completed version. Hopefully the Anon is still working on it but I'll post his WIP if you're feeling generous.

>>42306664
>>42306679
here bro, this is what I meant. Doesn't have to be exactly like this but something to break up her leg looks more natural than a straight line imo. like I said it's pretty minor. They do it the way you did it in the show sometimes though so you can really go either way, i just prefer a little more definition

>>42305185

>>42271256
oh my god jumpscared by my own oc. i think i only posted her here once like months ago, but nice to see her here kek

>>42306639
Thank you so much. It means a lot that you like them. I really like doing these prompt challenges, even if I've been a bit slow on doing them on time this year. Don't know why I've been feeling the Anon and Trixie pics with so many of them, but it's funny that you like that one the most.
Super Lyra 3 would still be sick. I've been meaning to draw Trixie and Derpy in Ultra Ego and Ultra Instinct forever, but never got around to it. Maybe this will get my arse in gear kek.

>>42306864

>>42309809
Good Lord that's brilliant. What is this style, is it slightly pixelated or am I tweaking?

>>42309848
no you're completely right, its a binary pen. I draw with a mouse so I cant use variable inputs.

>>42309809
not bad, competently done, decent lighting, a nice subdued color palette. my only suggestion would be instead of dulling the background character to make the foreground character pop maybe try a blur effect of some kind. a Gaussian blur is what I'd personally would recommend, it creates a better sense of depth without dampening the colors and making the secondary character look flat. I'd also recommend it for the mountains and lava lake in the back too for the same depth reason. if you layer it right and add a mild blur to the guy and then a heavy blur of the farthest portion of the bg it would add depth while drawing the eye towards the pony, think of it like the blurring effect on a camera or how in real life shit that's far away is really blurry if you're not focused on it. my other suggestion would be to motion lines or a blur effect to the pick axe and bandanna ties to add some more weight to it, and a sense of movement.
sorry for the un-requested suggestions, I just wanted to drop my 2 cents on it while giving it a (you). I'll try to keep an eye out on you cause i think it would be neat to see how you progress artistically from here.

honestly it was never meant to get as far as it did just started as a sketch at first, so I didnt worry too much about some of the stuff you said, blurring wouldnt have gone amiss though. I just dont have much of a habit of using it. as for motion lines I use those a ton usually but not in this one, because it was floated as being used for a menu screen in a project and I didnt want it to look too "busy". as for progression maybe, I used to post here more often but got out of the loop, but im probably gonna try and be here more often now cause ive been drawing way more horses.

>>42309875
based, also based fellow mouse user. have you ever considered using the eraser to create line variation? not grilling just curious, a bit of variation adds some polish, also fair enough about not wanting it to be busy. hell yeah to drawing more pony I'm in the polar opposite situation right now funnily enough, went from daily drawing here for 2 years to barely drawing pony recently. been doing mostly animu

>>42309899
I have no considered using the eraser like that because I figured itd just be a pain in the fuckin ayuss but maybe.

>>42309907
its more tedious than anything but ye fuck around and find out brother brother!

Post any sketches, traces, or references you drew recently please

sure heres one I was just doing

>>42309958
some hors

>>42309958

It's relatively recent, I suppose.

>>42309855
Its beautiful, saved. Would also love to know what its inspired by if possible.

>>42310059
Im glad it resonates with you. Its based off of the Shaft Miners from modded Space Station 13, the human is my character and the pony is a coworker.

>That is real nice man. Great choice of pony
Appreciate it bro! Feel like I can work more on the sketch later, or just redraw it some other time. Also damn that's an unf Rari, positively delightful.

Been a hot minute since i drew anything at all so it felt right to back into the saddle and knock off some rust with some simple poneage.
This is Satin Stitch, the mommamare of a neet i drew a bunch. Who I also should draw more of sometime soon.
Really should get myself a more consistent drawing schedule. I miss doodling more often.

HOLY SEX! That is such a cute and slutty Rara. She is the best mare for sure. Looks amazing.

>>42310928

AJ is CAG as fuck.

Kinda nervous to post this because I’m not very confident with drawing anthro/human stuff but here’s the pinkie I mentioned the other day.
https://files.catbox.moe/lih0te.png

>>42311105
the anatomy is overall fine, a bit too fetishy for my tastes but I don't see any glaringly obvious flaws. the only suggestion I have though is for the jawlines on the side of the head. they are pinched in too aggressively, the key to good anthro is balancing out the pony elements with human elements to avoid the uncanny valley effect where the character is simultaneously too human and not human looking enough. If you want to keep the exaggerated cartoony faces and heads you gotta make the bodies match and vice versa. also I'd recommend caution with posting anthro board wide as anthro is outright banned board wide even when censored, you run a high risk of getting banned. /bale/ is kind of an exception as the mods are lenient in moderating the thread so you can kinda get away with shit you wouldn't able to in other threads elsewhere on the board.

This is really cool, like how you convey form and gesture. Gotta study your stuff.
>>42310928
More milimares!

>>42309958
It's not much. I've been a lazy tablet jockey.

>>42312950
Thank you very much, that piece was meant to be a challenge for myself on some more dynamic and challenging poses. I may try and pretty it up if I ever get off my ASS.

>>42312575

This Twinkleshine layer was previously from another draw, but now she's got her very own picture!

>>42313222
very nice

>>42309981
Extremely cool, goddamn! Poses and lines of action and forms and everything is just fantastic. Only personal /k/ gripe would be all the A2 bits on the M16, when the rest of the sketch gives me 'nam vibes.

>>42314050
Super cute!
Love that style!
I mostly use big-pixel binary drawings for fast and messy doodles where I want to be lazy with easy fill-tool coloring and stuff.
Doing it all nice and tidy, and with those constant size, BFEqD style lines like you did is very cute and comfy!

derpy posting

>>42314050

>>42314422
Binary brushes are excellent. There's something about a mare with brows which slope down like that which are so compelling. Lovely.

>>42313714

>>42315246
thank you for the compliments about my warhorse. you're gonna have to forgive me for the /k/ stuff cause yeah thats nam but I dont know fucking shit about guns LOL. Also really love the expression in your drawing I need to pet dat horse

>>42316022
what a beautiful lil mare, blessed to witness this

>>42315753
Thank you as well!
To clarify: Your guns look fantastic in the picture, and one can tell that you really bothered to make it very close to your reference; because you made it instantly recognizable as the rifle you were trying to depict, which is something not many artists bother to do. Particularly ones who ACTUALLY "don't know fucking shit about guns".
Just the fact that you included small details such as the single little finger groove in the grip that allowed me to whine about it being an M16A2 shows that you at least very much care about the guns you draw! Like the cool reload pose with a look down into a magazine that's actually filled with cartridges and everything. It's a real treat! (autism ramble over)

>>42316120

Thanks, brony. It's my first time drawing clothes on a pony

>>42316275
clothing can get pretty wonky sometimes, but the outfit looks cute, keep it up

>>42316264
Im glad you noticed all that, thank you anon.

>>42316876
Thanks for the advice!

>>42316994
The way you always define muscles and anatomy in your drawings is very impressive and inspiring.
It really makes me want to do more serious learning!

>>42315630

Trying to get reference from the actual show
How do I swap out the heads that are inside the head asset in the timeline?

>>42312074
seems like it was a good idea

>>42317945
might be hidden layers, try hiding/unhiding a few to see if it helps

>>42317852

>>42316994
Another great and powerful drawing anon!

Pink bump

First or second? I know is an stylistic choice but I prefer the first one better

Pasting all the keyframes in the timeline gives the right result
Moving a set of keyframes to earlier does the left result

This is very good, looks professional even. nice clean lines with a good line of action, plus this pic is very in character for discord. The style has hints of show inspiration as well, with story board quality here.

>Art is subjective
I'll probably finish this tomorrow, just need to choose a background filly with this sort of mane style.

>>42297501
Damn, i love it.

>>42326271

I need to finish it, haha. I put it on the backburner because of a commission, and then after I started drawing a bunch of other bullshit

Thanks anons. After a little research, I chose this rare filly, Rosy Posy. Look how skilled she is!

The more retarded you were in life the greater your chances of becoming an Anonfilly when you get to Equestria.

Tried doing this on a request. Fucked it up in a bunch of ways that make me the most upset I've been so far with a piece. But at least It's practice is what I tell myself.

KEK that's the first time I have ever been told that. I was drinking when I wrote that and when the booze is starting to hit me I have an odd tendency to be overly verbose and focus on my grammar more than usual. My friends and I jokingly refer to it as the philosopher stage.
