    Hey Everypony,

    this thread is dedicated to my oh so ugly and noobish FanArt, mostly about our delici...delightful pony friends.
    As an explanation: I`ve literally never drawn anything but tiny ugly little stickmen in all of my life. So these drawings are my first attempts ever at using pencils for something else than writing.

    For the start, I`ll just use these things:
    -good ol`paper with dem fancy squares on it
    -wooden pencil (once was a happy tree, now serves my evil being as a stick)
    -the Android-App "Draw Little Pony" (quite helpful when you have absolutely no clue of what you`re doing)

    And of course some magic dust for the colouring.

    When time goes by, and when some improvements show up (which they hopefully will), I`ll think about trying different methods of creating art.
    For the moment, I want to share my first drawings ever made with you.

    If you mind, please share your thoughts and maybe some advice with me :smile:



    Hope you have an awesome day :)
    Greetings


    edit: oh right, I plan on releasing a new drawing every day week for at least the next week month, so expect a lot of updates and please don`t sue me for double posting a lot (if no one answers here)! ;-)

    Ugly and noobish? Stuff is better than mine. Now, it's not spectacular or anything, but it's still pretty good.

    It needs some work, but for a first attempt, it shows a lot of potential.
    Keep at it.

    I`m sometimes pretty sarcastic and ironic. The truth is, I`m damn proud of these pictures, even though for many others they are just "not that good" and so on. Therefore, I`m really glad you like it! Do you think there is a way to have a look at your art too? Because you said "better than mine". That made me curious! :)

    Thank you most kindly, I will!

    Damn right! Somewhere is always better than nowhere! :-D
    _____________________________________

    And now it`s time to publish my latest creation (ok, not the latest. but the one I submitted to daviantart today.) to you.
    Have some Spike

    I still like the Pinkie Pie drawing a bit more, but well, Spike is not even a pony!
    As always it would be an honour to hear/read some advice :)

    Have a nice day everypony :)

    I haven't made a thread on it, yet. I don't make art very often. I usually make music instead. I could be very good at art if I wanted to.
    But since you're curious:

    I don`t think it looks not good. Especially the cloud you made looks great! I seriously started to wonder how you made it. Summed up, I like your art :)

    While it's true your drawings could be better they are by no means bad The S Brony my friend.

    Ah, thank you for visiting and leaving some kind words Zoe :-D
    And I`m proud to say that I think the picture coming this evening is quite better than the others. And that`s not only because of Apple Jack!
    But for the moment, because I wasn`t able to wait any longer, I have something like a short comic, consisting of the three drawings you already now, and another one of Pinkie Pie. Also the lighting is now correct.

    Comic: The Pink, the Purple and the Ugly

    As I said: next picture this evening! (that would be something like 18:00, timezone GMT+2 if I`m not mistaken).

    Thanks for the support everyone!

    Greetings

    You have to be kidding me, that thing looks terrible, except when you zoom out.
    Anyways, I was bored, so I tried again. Not uploading this to DA. http://s21.postimg.org/rs1648htz/cloud_new.png

    I use a layer that only contains the color black. After coloring a bit, I then applied Gaussian blur.


    Anyways, this is your art thread, not mine.

    Ha, no no, I`m serious! I really like that cloud!
    And just because I started this thread doesn`t mean we can`t talk about your work. But if you don`t want to, that`s fine to me too.

    Thank you again :-D

    And hereby I announce, full of pride and joy, that the next drawing is now available for everyone who`s interested in it! Today we have a picture of AppleJack and hats. Started as a practice for circles and other round stuff, than became (caution, personal opinion) my best drawing yet. Yes, I`m quite proud. Hope that`s allowed.

    Random Fanart: Too many hats

    Wish all of you a beautiful day :)

    Greetings

    Ha, thank you very much :-D
    Next picture will be coming this afternoon, maybe in 3 to 4 hours. I still haven`t decided what it will be, maybe some of you guys can help me decide:
    Current situation:
    I have finished one Apple Jack and one Rainbow Dash vector "copy". They both look awful, mostly because of the eyes I guess.
    I can either release both of them, or a picture of Fluttershy which I`ll start right after posting this. Already set up my stuff so I`m good to go.

    So, what would you want to see today? I mean, you`ll probably see all of them sooner or later (if you want), but, well. I just like asking questions.

    If no one answers this, I`ll flip a coin :)

    See y`all!
    /)

    edit:
    Well, just finished the outlining. And I think it`s not that bad. So, have some black/white Flutters:

    Remember, you can still vote for AJ and RD if you want :)

    Nice! I'd fatten the legs up just a bit but it looks good!

    Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately, I was already almost finished with colouring by the time you posted this, so I wasn`t able to change the legs anymore. But you`re right, they could have been a bit more fat, as you said. And also the tail starts too low, shoud`ve been placed higher...

    Aaaaanyways, it`s done. Here guys, have some Fluttershy :)
    Random Fanart: Flutteryay

    See y`all, and have an awesome day! :-D

    Hey guys, RD finally made it to DeviantArt just a few seconds ago. Yesterday the internet got killed by a little storm of thunder and lightning.
    I`m not satisfied with the outcome of this picture, but I promise that the next will make it up :)

    Random Fanart: Oh my gosh, what did I do?!

    So far,
    see ya
