I've never really drawn before... I wanted to sometimes, but never got myself to seriously trying and practicing it... then Ponies happened So, well, yeah, I started (/tried) drawing yesterday (well actually today at 3 am xD) with this little tutorial: http://ponibooru.413chan.net/_image...erbug coloring_book high-res rainbow_dash.jpg Like I said, I never really tried drawing before, so it sucks, and I know I just gotta practice a lot, which I will, it's summer Hollidays after all , but I'm gonna share my first tries with you anyway, in the hopes, some of you got some advice, tricks, other tutorials, or just some encouraging words!^^ View attachment 365 View attachment 366 View attachment 367 View attachment 368
For never drawing before, it's rather OK. I wouldn't consider it sucky, more beyond the solid level of first-trys.
That's pretty decent for a first time. You'll develop the skills and your own style with time and practice I assure you. Also this from Ponychan's Art board may be of help too.
Thanks everypony! That sounds better, than I expected and thanks for that link Derpy, gonna save that for later^^
thanks again, for that link derpy! tried again, with a better tutorial (http://bit.ly/oXuBNs) and finally found an eraser and an cd-marker^^. but I noticed, I forgot to erase the neck-line right after redrawing it with the CD-Marker... and I tried digitalising it, which is a bit hard, as I can only make fotos, and have no scanner, but anyway, here are some more pics: View attachment 378 View attachment 379 View attachment 380 View attachment 381 View attachment 382 I want a scanner and a graphic tablet now xD
My drawings just became 20% better xD And I found a way to capture them in muuuch better quality :derpe: View attachment 388 View attachment 389 Also tried colouring it: View attachment 387 all pics also on my DA: http://desaster-master.deviantart.com/gallery/31421321
Thanks! And will do :3 I also wanted to draw one more, raw, Pony before sleeping....... But Pinkie convinced me, that sleep is overrated, and ponies are better, so I drew her until 5 am xD As I'm on my iPod right now, pics can Be found on my deviantart, link below. (or, if the app doesn't post the signature, in my last post^^) Edit: So here is Pinkie! View attachment 397 View attachment 396 View attachment 395
And just finished Applejack! http://desaster-master.deviantart.com/art/Applejack-226979212?q=gallery:desaster-master&qo=1 http://desaster-master.deviantart.c...ured-226982772?q=gallery:desaster-master&qo=0 (sorry, I'm too lazy right now to upload 'em here xP)
That looks pretty good! I know why you couldn't get the hind leg looking right, though: she doesn't cross the hind leg! Whenever AJ does that pose, it's only the front leg that she crosses. This is because A) it looks more natural and B) it'd probably be really difficult for her to remain upright whenever she does it since she'd probably fall over.
Do you think so? , I tried crossing only the front-leg, but that kinda looked even more odd, and i looked up some pics, on which she crossed both legs to. http://ponibooru.413chan.net/_image...applejack rainbow_dash transparent vector.png http://ponibooru.413chan.net/_image...c225e77c3ad/33376 - applejack wonderbolts.png
Really? Because most of the times I see it, it's just the front legs that are crossed. Ah well, I'm no professional art critic. It's still a good pic.
Yeah, I'm seeing some good improvements here for sure. Keep at it. And start trying different angles too when you feel adventurous enough. Angles from the front and slightly turned are harder of course, since they require more depth to the figure. But they'll help you expand and become overall better with time too.
Thanks, I was thinking about that too, I think I will have enough time during the mare-athon tomorrow, to draw some more and different^^
Argh, what's wrong with me? This whole time I just thought it was the front leg, but now I went back through and realized that I've been wrong this whole time! Excuse me while I smash my head into my keyboard three times. ynrlo7ekyv85u 4bnb89mv5 bny89imv5
So, I tried some other Perspective today, and here's the result : (I know, the right eye looks kinda weird, but the Paper beneath it got damaged, so I don't wanna screw with it anymore, 'cause the rest came out quite good I think, so I'm probably gonna redraw it and photoshop it in or something, if at all.)

I think I'm gonna use the Random Art thread to post my stuff from now on, so, any admin feel free to close(/delete?) this thread.
