/Bale/ Beginner And Low Effort art thread - #70
Welcome friends, ITT:
We make and share pony art, with absolutely no pressure to deliver anything that's technically good (besides having ponies in it, which makes it good by default)

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

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

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

Guides, tutorials and resources! Start here!

I like to think of the top of the snoot as having the same slightly recessed bowl shape as the bottom of a mug albeit more ovular, and the outer contour of the snoot as forming a larger circle with the mane around the circle of the head
I'm not sure if that's technically correct or even makes sense but it helps me visualize the basic silhouette of snoot as it relates to mare

After years of posting on social media, I never developed a following. This is why I stopped lurking here and started posting.
Anonymous No.42768108 [Report]
>>42767358

Well that's how I'd normally draw it, except the pixels look kind of big compared to the mouth and I was thinking 1 or 2 pixels might be better. I can't NOT think of it as pixels, that literally my medium between me and my vision, it's just a part of the process. That's like telling a painter don't think about the water on the brush or the amount of paint. It is possible to get into a zen state where that doesn't matter but I don't think it's going to work for me right now when I'm rusty.

developing a following is mostly just luck anyway, the average person is a retard who stumbles on your lowest quality work, celebrates it, and moves on while the stuff you actually care about is dismissed. in essence, searching for a following is futile, just draw.

I know a trick some pony artists shared. You have to consistently pump out your art in the same recognizable artstyle. It just can be premade, but you have to post a lot in a short time, so people will always have your art in their mind.

My biggest problem with "Tames MLP" is the portrayal of Derpy. Her depiction as a mouth-breathing mongoloid loser who is perpetually tormented by other characters is entirely contrary to the very spirit of FMI.
