Rainbow Dash -- First Pony Drawing

[Ashbad 969]

Well, it's not *technically* my first pony drawing, but it's my first non-traced one (and, by extension, I didn't use a single reference picture!) I've been working on my pencil art skills for the past week or so; I personally feel that I have some artistic talent, but I realize that if I don't train myself to use it when I'm at a young age, it'll be much harder to train myself later on. As for what I can draw now after practicing for a week, I can draw ponies pretty well (now that I've extensively studied their anatomy and face structure, the latter of which was something I struggled most with actually) along with some cartoony humans.

 

Anyways, here's what I just finished drawing:

 

 

I'm planning to make a pixel art of it later today or tomorrow, and possibly try making a vector. Who knows about the vector idea, I can barely seem to use Inkscape.

This is epic for a first non reference attempt, i like her mane **insert meme here** and the shading. Keep up the good work

Wow Ashbad! Not bad! And vectors aren't that hard in Inkscape, just practice with it a bit

Thanks! Took me about 45 minutes to sketch; I redrew the head like 4 times As a side note, the tail is a bit poofy because I totally blanked on how it should look (I blanked on the mane as well, but I played around with it, and it came out correct, but slightly poofy )

Thanks bro! As for vectors... I'll play with them a bit, but I think I'll have more luck with the pixel art idea I guess we'll see!

NICE! I love the shading :3 also it's great considering you didn't use reference

Super Saiyan Rainbow Dash?

 

What are you Saiyan? Too DBZ-styled for you? Awful pun, I know.

 

And thanks for the kudos, guys though I think it'll be 20% cooler once I make the pixel art of it!
