Apple Bloom 2,901 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) I see a few ponies are posting their first pony drawings so I decided to post mine too. It's an OC that someone made for me on ponychan. His name is Steenbeck. The first picture is the original drawing I did on paper. The second is a trace over I did for practice when I got my tablet. Back then I didn't really know how to draw ponies so I used a reference pic to look at while I drew it.

Twilight Sparkle ✨ 8,250 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 For a first, it looks quite good. It would be interesting to know how long you spent on it. I'd round off some of those hard vertices around the legs, though - the show's ponies don't have a single corner on them. Next time, try challenging yourself and drawing a pony from an angle. Side-on views like this generally all tend to look like they were made in the Pony Creator, even when they weren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Badges 2

Side-on views like this generally all tend to look like they were made in the Pony Creator, even when they weren't. I drew this a long time ago, shortly after finding the show. I didn't know how to draw ponies back then so I did what I do best, I looked at a picture and drew it, changing the mane slightly and adding the cutie mark. I've always been kind of good at looking at things and drawing them. If I had drawn it straight from my head it would have been much worse. I can now draw different angles but I'm still not very good at expressions and poses. Edit: Next time, try challenging yourself and drawing a pony from an angle.
