    So this is my first attempt to draw a pony. I think the head is positioned a little too high up, but I think it's turned out better than I was expecting it to. :smile:

    Once I've had a chance to scan it into my laptop, I might have a go at colouring it and maybe change the hair style a bit. I find it easier to do that stuff on the computer.

    That looks wonderful! All it needs is a bit of color!

    Thank you!! I'm glad you both think it's good! :grin:
    I'll definitely try tidying it up a bit and colouring it in GIMP :smile:

    Okay I just spent a while in GIMP colouring and tweaking my original picture and I now have this

    [​IMG]

    I basically completely re-drew it on the computer with my mouse using a scan of the original to trace from. I lowered the head a bit into a better position and completely changed the hair a couple of times until I was happy with it. There's probably still a few things that could improve it. Maybe using slightly thiner outlines and stuff, but I think I'm getting the hang of it.

    I've got a few new ideas of tecniques to use so I'll probably draw a new pony sometime soon and have another go at it.

    Thank you!! :smile:

    Haha I was actually thinking just now when I was looking at it on the screen that she looks a bit Fluttershy-ish.

    Thanks! I will :smile:

    Actually I drew another pony today

    It's a bit better than the first and I didn't try to add as much detail into the hair since I can fiddle around with that later on my laptop.

    Hopefully the body'll be even closer once I've fixed it a little on my laptop.

    I like the coloring. I'm bad at choosing colors for my stuff.
