Look at the cute couple http://images.4chan.org/pol/src/1359322847084.png

Which is worse -- the MLP Fandom, or a pile of shit? Well, at least the shit doesn't brag about best pony.

So, let's all draw dudes with 10 foot tall necks and 3 foot tall bodies, and call it "our style." While we're at it, let's argue that it's still anatomically correct. The point is not whether style plays in at all, it's a matter in this case of whether or not the proportions are correct. Either you have them right, or you don't. You don't skip around the hard truth. You either accept what you did incorrectly and improve, or end up drawing in your incorrect "style" forever, without the ability to draw any other way. It's pretty obvious you have no idea what you're talking about, so I'll just ignore it and move on my way.

How many bronies does it take to change a lightbulb? Exactly one -- if you have more than that, they'll brutally murder each other over their small differences. And then won't change the lightbulb.
-
Sometimes, I can't help but wonder if the average Brony's IQ is somewhere around 83.
-
So, by his choice of being stylistic, he has foregone correct proportions. Style is one thing, correct anatomy is another. My comment stands.

It's surprising how many people are impressed by Pixel Art being drawn in minecraft -- in fact, it draws tenfold the attention to the piece of art than it would have received otherwise (partially because just about all "Minecraft Pixel Art" pieces are actually pretty bland and unimpressive otherwise.)
-
That's a good way of thinking about it, but I think your example shapes need some tweaking -- sphere component of her cranium is far too small, and her neck is far too long.

Eat that fucking candy I gave you. Eat the fucking candy. Eat. The fucking. Candy.

I refuse to refer to myself as a "Brony"; the Brony Community is incredibly flawed and I wish to take little part in it. On the other hand, the show is improving radically over time, and I continue to watch it. Any other "Ponyfans" out there?

I think the main aspect killing this piece is the snout -- not only is it rather large, it's completely flat and doesn't portray any three-dimensional volume or forms. I'd probably start by practicing drawing some basic 3 dimensional shapes at many different angles, and then move onto more complex forms, leading into finally constructing a My Little Pony from its different forms.

It's more of a piece-by-piece explanation of the 3 dimensional forms that would make up a My Little Pony (were they real), giving the general proportions of the pieces and how they relate to each other.

Luna paints the Pinwheel Galaxy in my new painting!
Ashbad replied to Tridgeon's topic in Visual Fan Art
Very nice! It's not often that we see high-quality paintings with this much effort behind them here. C+C: - Luna's anatomy is a bit off -- the top part of her legs are a bit fat, her face is a bit round, and her front legs aren't nearly long enough. - In terms of composition, this is rather well executed, though I'd probably make Luna stand out more with (slightly) brighter colors, along with using some of the purple in the galaxy swirl as a shadow color in her to make the piece a bit more cohesive Overall, though, it looks great. -
I don't think there's any point in trying to simply trace this picture, or simply draw it from your eye, without understanding the anatomy behind it. Like always, the magical anatomy guide: http://fim.413chan.net/art/src/134253401649-130255119873.jpg I'm not a huge fan of this chart lately (It's not exact to the show in some aspects, but unless you're willing to watch the show and study anatomy frame by frame like that, it's a good resource) -- but it's important to know what the underlying shapes and forms are before drawing something. It would also be helpful to study the anatomy of actual horses as well so you can understand what the cartoon ponies' anatomy is based on.

So, I've made up my mind. I can't just leave this fandom -- I need it. I need this community. I can't stand 90% of what goes on here, but that 10% I do like, I will remain here for.

Well, I have been gone from the site for a month or so now, so I'd might as well confirm it: I've basically left the community. Fun time while it lasted, now it's time to move on. Good luck to all that remain. You can keep in touch with me on https://twitter.com/TheAshbad and https://www.facebook.com/theashbad .

I'm tempted to verify my recent absence from the site with a cliche "leave thread", yet I want not to appear an overly attached patron of a site I am not overly attached to. Suggestions welcome! Best suggestion gets a consensual favor.

I am soon to relinquish control of my old facebook page, The Great and Powerful Twilight, to Tishan on the forums (Devin McCourtey, or whatever his nickname is here nowadays.) He's going to need some help, so I've decided to spend my lingering time as head admin to hire him some help. The page can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/TheGreatAndPowerfulTwilight If you think you're up for the task, you can PM me and when I check here again, I'll forward those PMs to Tishan so he can decide who he wants as his new admins. I'm doing this, as I'm switching over to managing a new page, named after a very important person: https://www.facebook.com/theashbad Feel free to like it, I'll be mostly posting the smartass stuff I did while running The Great and Powerful Twilight, except a bit less restricted and about all sorts of things.
