Anyway, Disney has bigger fish to fry without having to buy anything that Youtube has. Disney can buy better things than a simple guy who makes Youtube videos. But if it helps the ad revenue for Disney, then it's good then.

You're right, he is simple (in the head). Pewdiepie is a waste man and his fanbase are obnoxious. Who would want to buy him anyway?

No it bloody well doesn't. If more than anything, it's taught me a lot more about equines and their anatomy than I probably would in school. Don't know where they got that one from. Also, don't listen to the Daily Mail because it's all bullshit that goes on there. Right wing ass hats.

Black people giving you cancer? Unbelievable.

Japanese Culture (Not Japanese themselves).

I find that anime and all that to be a bit too annoying and overrated. Some people who are English are even trying to turn themselves Japanese by learning the language and going there. Also the foot fetish and fat fetish is disgusting, especially when it comes to MLP Fanart. 

I could never get into it, either that or it's too much effort.

Trixie because I WANT THAT FREAKING HAT.

I'm making one. He's going to be a fighter.

Ah, procrastination.  Believe me when I say that this, along with a few other obstructions, is the bane of my artistic attempts.  However, if you wish to improve and have fun while doing it, this hardly becomes an issue as you tend to look forward to drawing rather then shy away.

 

Everything that @@Silverwisp the Bard said is all sound advice that I would take to heart.  Learning basic equine anatomy is a great place to start in trying to improve your characters.  Though the ponies from FiM are cartoons and take grand liberties in movement due to that fact, they still follow basic horse anatomy and looking up diagrams and references will only help you along the way.

 

In its current state, it is rather difficult to discern if the guidelines are correct until you flesh out the character a bit more, which I would love to see what direction you wish to pursue with it.  Guidelines such as they can be a wonderful yet fickle entity, as these serve as a basic starting point to help capture the flow and essence of the character that you are drawing.  On the other hand, many just starting their artistic endeavors tend to stick to these line much too closely, which can create very stiff looking creations.  Just something to keep in mind as you progress with your future drawings.

 

You must also keep in mind the essential pose and emotion you are trying to convey as you are drawing, as similar poses with differing expressions can be drastically different when executed.

 

What you have here is a good start and I can only see it improving as you continue along with adding more essential details.  The only thing I would say is amiss right now to me is the femur of the legs seems a tad short.  Otherwise, keep it up!

 

Additionally, since you are looking for feedback on your guidelines rather than displaying a more complete drawing, I have moved your thread to the Creative Resources section.  Here, you should be able to receive a greater degree in advice and opinions on your early stage sketch.  Just keep in mind to not give up and have fun.  Take care!

Thanks for the advice. I'll take a look at the legs and start to flesh out the Pony.

I would eat my own arms and legs.

No problem, here you go; instant motivation:

Hey hey, I love that film. That song might just get me off my ass.

Well, learning the anatomy of ponies is certainly the right way to start off.

My advice for you would be to first learn the show's style. For that you have to get a firm grasp on the anatomy.

 

First take these. They're all the anatomy references you'll ever need:

Then draw ponies. A lot of ponies. Ponies standing, ponies from different angles, ponies jumping, ponies cartwheeling, ponies lying down ect. I suggest you start out with pen and paper. If you have problems with a certain pose, try googling a shot from the show.

 

Do post your work. It's a god way to stay motivated

Do draw regularly, even if its just a quick sketch. Your skill will deteriorate fast once you stop

Do ask people for honest feedback. "Awesome 10/10" might feel good, but it has never helped anyone improve.

Don't make excuses

Don't expect to get good overnight. It will take time

 

If there's anything else you'd like to know, feel free to ask.

Thanks man, this helped. My only problem is procrastination now.

It's hard to be certain until you use it and see how it all looks after it's fleshed out. The only major thing that seems to be missing is that there should be one more joint just above the rear (or in this case, lower) hooves. 

That's because it will be behind the body.

She's too tall for me, but I would anyway.

Note for mods: I don't know where to put this topic, move it if it's in wrong place.

Anyway, I decided to have a shot at some fanart. This is my first, this is a start.

So... are the guidelines in the right place? How am I doing? What should I do now? You tell me because I will only go and muck it up.

Also, I used tutorials on Deviantart: http://whatsapokemon.deviantart.com/art/Drawing-Ponies-with-Whatsapokemon-Legs-346413189

I really want to do some fanart because I got some really good ideas, and I don't want to rely on other people to do it for me.

----Update----

How am I doing now, I've fleshed it out but it still don't seem right. The legs look a bit skinny and the body shape looks a bit fat. The for arms look a tad too short and the head looks massive. I need feedback on this. 

Will I be able to easily change this when I get down to actually drawing. Also what tool should you recommend because at the moment I am using the pen tool.

I found this disgusting. All of Jan's work, right down the drain. Weeks of animating and it was all sent to hell.

I wonder if this prick will win? http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/alojzy-rudolf-r5930

I can never get another artists work copied, so what I'll do is trace over your pony and draw armour(no helmet) on it. Is that ok?

 

Yeah, I can work with that.

Do you think you could put my OC into Royal guard armor, except for the helmet. Also turn his smile upside down. The link to my OC's characteristics are in my signature. 

I would marry Trixie, she is best Pony after all.

Just an FYI for the moment I'm using Chocolate Doom, the Linux version. It still uses WADs, but it doesn't include the original DOOM WAD, which is still owned by ID Software.

No sweat, I'll figure something out.

Sure, go ahead. He ain't nothing special.

I like the look of it! ^^ I sympathise with those wanting to frag Trixie. Although I never got the chance to play Doom in my youth, so I can't claim to be as enthused as other people - who've played the franchise - will be. Crossovers like this always go down a treat.

This is going to definitely be a treat, and Trixie will be doing the fragging. 

Come on people, we need more volunteers. We got three guys now including myself. 

I'm not sure if I have but I wake up with sleeping paralysis which is sort of the same thing but absolutely horrifying.

 

For future reference, Creative Resources is the place to go if you're looking for people's help in projects ^^

Lol, I always get it in the wrong place. Thanks for the advice, oh and what do you think about the game?

Doom wads are back in action with the follow up of a new DooM WAD project I am currently making.

I am proud to announce LulaDooM. A DooM WAD where you play as Trixie fragging angry Mages and Wizards who for some reason want to frag her. More news will come in the future discussing my progression, and hopefully I don't give up and abandon it. In fact I won't give up, I'm gonna beat this project even if it kills me.

Anyway, I could do with some more pixel artist for the sprites (I currently have two including myself). If you want to help then PM me and we'll get straight to work.

P.S. Moderators, you know what to do if I've stuck this in the wrong place AGAIN.

Cover art (made by me): 

Indiana Jones wore one, that's why I always wanted one. But now because of all the bad reputation, I've gone off them. Though it is a cool looking hat.
