Ask Pencil Pouch and Granite Rose (and maybe Thorns)!

@abrony-mouse

I want to inspire other ponies with my art! Art communication is very important to me.

I’m living my purpose now, which is to cultivate and sell flowers. It lets me work outside and travel on occasion, which is actually kind of fun. I really love my flowers, too, they’re like my “foals” as my friends say.

>:)

...I don’t know the full extent of what Thorns wants, but it probably involves something horrible for me...

@Califorum

Uh hehe...suuurrreee.....

[Rarity]

Do you have a favorite project? 

 

[Pencil Pouch]

@Califorum

S-sure, as long as it doesn’t have gasoline in it.

@Sparklefan1234

Hi Rarity! I have lots of art projects that I do when I’m not making commissions. Mostly I like to make comics and design characters but sometimes I like to just make things to hang on my wall.

I only do work projects. I spend a lot of time designing flower beds for my shop. The designs are mainly for visual appeal, nothing else.

*Thorns rolls his eyes*

Unless tormenting me is one of his projects, Thorns doesn’t have any. He doesn’t care for things like that.

I don't do commissions but I love making things for my friends! Do you have a favorite "gift" that you've made for somepony else? 

[Pencil Pouch]

@Sparklefan1234

Granite and I love to exchange gifts on occasion! Normally he’ll bring a bouquet to my house and I’ll give him a drawing of it.

She helps fill my house with art and I give her something to look after. It’s our way of improving each other’s quality of life. That, and we just like to surprise each other sometimes.

Aww, that's awesome! What are your all-time favorites from your exchanges?

[Granite Rose]

@Sparklefan1234

Once, I was able to breed an amazing bunch of white lillies with red tips inside the petals. Pencil did a great job with the colors on her drawing of them! I could tell she really liked them.

Hehe, it’s true! I really did like them. I used to stare at them for hours and just admire them. They were definitely my favorite flowers of all time.

Are you each other's special somepony? 

[Granite Rose]

@Sparklefan1234

(both at the same time)

Uuuhhh.....no!!

Uuuhhh.....no!!

There ain't no gas in this one. So Pencil Pouch, how did you get your cutie mark? 

Thank Celestia! *noms the donut*
 

I got my Cutie Mark when I gave a drawing to a friend in school. I was very young when I discovered my passion for drawing. It was then that I knew that I wanted to draw for ponies for the rest of my life, which is what I get to do now!

[Sparklefan1234 169,686]

How good are you at drawing landscapes? 

[Pencil Pouch]

@Sparklefan1234

It’s not my favorite thing, but I’ve discovered little tricks that make some backgrounds easy to draw. It depends on the type of background, honestly.

Question for Pencil Pouch: Have you ever got a tennis ball stuck on your horn before? (Ongoing G5 meme)

Such as? 

[Pencil Pouch]

@Splashee

Nope, but I’ve had one bounce off my horn before. I felt really dizzy afterwards.

@Sparklefan1234

Hilltops and fields of grass are easy to draw and grass always has multiple colors in it, so it makes it fun to draw.

Scribble some green on the bottom of the page = "Grass!" or do you try to go into more detail?

[Pencil Pouch]

@Sparklefan1234

Unless I’m drawing for myself, I try to go into as much detail as possible.

[Sparklefan1234 169,686]

Who are your favorite members of the Mane 6? 

[Pencil Pouch]

@Sparklefan1234

My favorites are Fluttershy and Rarity! Fluttershy is really kind and caring and Rarity inspires me since she’s so artistic.

I like AppleJack because she likes to work hard out in nature like me. Rainbow Dash is neat, too with the way that she performs in the air.

*Hugs* Thank You ever so much for your kind words, My Dear. I am always filled with elation whenever somepony says that I inspire them in some way. 

[Pencil Pouch]

*hugs* Awww, you’re welcome!

Do you prefer creating physical art or creative writing (Like, this.)? 

[Granite Rose]

@Sparklefan1234

I like to draw as a hobby from time to time. Writing sounds like fun, but I haven’t tried it.

>:)

Let’s just say Thorns likes anything red.

I like to do both! I draw a lot since that’s my job, obviously, but writing is pretty fun too!

Are you a fan of the "crime" genre? I absolutely adore an exciting mystery.
