Derpy MacMuffin

Well, the whole point of this post was for me to recieve tips, but if you feel I helped you with my brainstorming then you're welcome. BTW is that avatar a drawing of yours? I do love Pinkamena, more than I do Pinkie Pie actually. If you haven't before, check out some of the work on this tumblr page for inspiration: http://askpinkaminadianepie.tumblr.com Good luck to you.

Errr, I would ask for one but I see I'm not a high priority and there are others waiting. I'll come back when you've taken care of business and I can say I'm worthy of it. That'll give me plenty of time to think of what I'd want (probably Derpy... and muffins).

Hello everyone, I've recently bought a graphics tablet and I find it much more difficult to draw on than pencil and paper. Anyone have any useful tips? Here are a few tips/suggestions I learned about, some from my head as well, I'd like your feedback on if they're a good idea and how I should implement them: 1. - Draw from your elbow (Wrist does not rest on surface). 2. - Improve drawing from imagination by drawing things from memory. 3. - Learn the anatomy of a real horse (To draw ponies better). 4. - It takes six months to become proficient with your work. 5. - Draw confident lines (No to and fro motions). 6. - Copy, whilst not tracing, other's artwork. 7. - Repetitively drawing basic shapes goes a long way. 8. - Draw towards yourself instead of away. 9. - You should practice with your opposite hand. 10. - Listening to music helps your creativity flow through your work. 11. - More than one rough sketch is best. 12. - No matter how frustrated you are with your current skill level, it will only get better as you go. 13. - Showing people your work is always a good idea. If you guys could review these and help me add to it I'd much appreciate it. Again, leave me your tips and motivational words below please! Thanks!

Thanks guys, I will try to get out some drawings in the near future! Unfortunately I'll have to mess with my tablet for awhile before I get the hang of it. :/ Also, I became a brony completely on my own with nobody telling me to or suggesting it. I had always occasionally seen some pony things but until February this year I didn't think anything of it, but I noticed it was popular. I've always been a sucker for cute things so I checked out the first two episodes... I didn't watch it again until spring break in April. At that point I ended up watching all the episodes they had available! I've been hooked since then. So in theory I'm still a baby foal in the community.

Hello everybody reading this, I'm new to the forum as you see. However I'm not new to the fandom. It's funny because I'm mostly an introvert, so I stay away from forums regularly. But knowing how kind and loving the brony community truly is I decided to put my fears aside. It's my hope to find a place here, make meaningful relationships, and learn everything there is to be learned for I aspire to be a man of many talents. If I'm not on the computer, you'll most certainly find me on Xbox LIVE. My Gamertag is something special to me: it's none other than 'Trixie Lulamoon'. As of late I play CoD: Ghosts, GTA V, and pretty soon Minecraft (my friend is buying it for me). I'd love to play with some of you in the future! If you take a look at my profile page you can read aboout my interests in whole, but I mostly focus on drawing and gaming. I recently got a hundred dollar graphics tablet and it's a lot harder than traditional drawing for me! On a side note it doesn't help that it's winter and my hands are frozen... I'm having trouble typing this correctly too. Anyway, thanks for your time! Hope we meet again.
