  1. Nice drawing! I happen to like the pointy muzzles, it's a nice style choice! The one thing that looks a bit odd is the wings. The base of the wing looks a bit strange, with that odd shaped feather. The bone structure also wouldn't be that defined, because it's mostly covered by feathers, unless you were going for bat wings or something. I would recommend looking up bird wings or MLP pegasi for references
  2. Lol, totally didn't expect that. I saw your other threads and those drawings are amazing and hilarious. Kudos to you. Haven't had a good laugh at a drawing in awhile
  3. Very creative! Haven't really seen ponies made with these before. You got everything looking pretty good. Good on you for finding a way to make great art without drawing!
  4. It looks great! One thing that sticks out is her horn (literally). Horns come out perpendicular to the head, not straight forwards. The muzzle could also use a little work, but even I still struggle with front angled faces, so it's nothing big.
  5. This looks amazing! If you hadn't said anything, I never would have guessed that this was your first try. I only see a few small things that could use improvement. Her body seems a little long, and her hind legs seem a little short and thin. Her head also looks a tiny bit tall, but that might just be me. Looking forward to more drawings from you!
  6. These are some pretty good drawings! One thing I would recommend is to make hooves a bit wider at the base and thinner at the top. Like, the front left hoof on Twilight looks fine, but her back legs look a bit flat.
  7. I'm amazed at how much of an improvement you've gone through with your drawings! I made a really quick progress guide on my latest drawing for someone on the forums. It's not very good, but it's partly because I draw fast with minimal sketching. I skip out on more detailed sketching because I have a generally good idea on what goes where on a pony. However, when I first started, sketching took more time than lineart, because I sketched out every part and detail. It looked messy, but it made the lineart so much easier to draw. There's also some tricks to shading on SAI. If you need any more help just ask! I use Paint Tool SAI, but it should be similar to how gimp works.
  8. Huh, I thought that you've already done digital drawings before. Anyways, tablets are great for drawing. SAI has a great tablet stabilizer for varying degrees of stability. Sketching digitally is also much easier with a tablet. Great for a first tablet drawing! Keep on doing it and it'll become more natural.
  9. Here you go, I hope it's close to what's in the story. I must admit, I was confused with whether the turquoise pony was a stallion, because stallions don't normally have long eyelashes.
  10. Very nice! Is this your first drawing? It looks very good. The background is quite colorful. It goes with the paint style you have going on there. I would suggest using the airbrush tool at a bigger size for clouds, though. I don't see anything wrong with your OC. She almost looks like she was cut out of paper. I really like your style! I'd like to see any other art you've done.
  11. Wow, I was really surprised when I saw that this was drawn by you! I really like the no outline style, along with the mix of light colors and the transition to darker colors.
  12. MLP style isn't very nice to individual hairs, unless you do a lot of them to make it look solid. The way MLP does hair, and facial hair, is to do the basic outline of the hair and just fill it in with a solid color. You need to give hair some volume, and color, since hair doesn't normally get spread out enough to see empty space near the head. I would suggest looking at ponies with facial hair and just figuring out how to change it a bit to work with your drawing. Best of luck to you!
  13. I would highly encourage trying out new styles every once in awhile. It's good to break away and go outside comfort zones every once in awhile. Update: I've colored and shaded the sketches. I tried to mix in blurred shading for rounded edges and hard shading for sharp shadows. I still really need to work on shading, but I'll get it with enough practice.
  14. Yeah, I thought they looked odd. I'll keep that in mind! I kind of just threw the fur on last minute because I thought it would look a little better.
  15. Thanks! I'll color them in sometime. Glad someone likes the style. I'll draw some more when I get inspiration to draw something.
  16. Hey everyone! These are quick sketches that I made for a few reasons. One: to draw without a sketch layer. I usually draw with circles and lines for skeletons. These were done without a sketch and all done on one layer. Two: Trying more natural expressions. Three: Get rid of the Yoshi-sized noses that my previous drawings had. Four: Fuzz. I wanted to try drawing tufts of fur on my ponies but they didn't look good with how round my ponies were before. I REALLY like how they look now. Any critiques and opinions are appreciated!
  17. Very cute! Nice clean lines and nice OC to boot. A little shading and it would be perfect. If I'm not mistaken, you used a picture of Dash and Applejack cuddling for reference. I noticed because I used that picture as a reference when I first started drawing ponies, too . Nice drawing overall, hope to see more drawings from you!
  18. Very nice for a second drawing. It's very proportionally accurate, and I can't see anything wrong with it. The ear could be a little longer, but that's about it. Remember that advice and keep on drawing, you're already better than I was on my second attempt at drawing a pony.
  19. That's amazing! Can't wait to see it when it's done. I would love to take on a big project like this someday. Nothing wrong with using a grid, either. Post some progress pictures, too. I'd love to see them!
  20. Wow, that's really good! Do you have a deviantART? I'd like to see more of your art. Like you said, their hooves could use a little perspective work, but overall it's great! Looking forward to seeing more art from you.
  21. Very nice! I have yet to get into the half-life series. For some reason it just doesn't really interest me, even though everyone says it's amazing. The gritty, sketchy style looks nice, at least to me. Good job on the shading too!
  22. http://drahgoon.deviantart.com/art/Heroes-of-Harmony-359545597?q=gallery%3Adrahgoon&qo=0 Sure, there you go!. I overall feel that Twilight's design is very plain, and that's my fault. At the moment I have a chunk taken out of the front of her hat to give the horn some room. I felt like too big of a hat would look ridiculous, so I kept it smaller. The way I positioned the light source it lit up her face, so I don't think a bigger hat would have helped. Thanks for the feedback!
  23. Thanks for the feedback! I've experimented with smaller muzzles and more pointed ones in scrapped sketches many times before. I just like a more rounded muzzle, so I draw them rounded. I also drew them a bit far off of the face, so that might contribute to the bulkiness. I'll try to keep them shorter next time.
  24. I haven't been very active lately, as I've been quite busy with filming things for a project. However, I'm done with that and I've been working on this bit by bit for the past week. Something silly I came up with. Based on Final Fantasy 1 classes. Started out as just Fluttershy, but evolved into all 6 classes and ponies. Tried a new shading technique on Rarity, Dash, Applejack and Pinkie Pie. It's much faster. Anyways, enjoy!
  25. Very fluffy! Like previously said, it looks good, but the anatomy of her legs looks a little off. The wings could also use a more organized feather layout. Looking forward to more art from you! Really love the Teemo drawing on your deviantART as well.
