Astral's Drawings

[Astralshy 23,558]

I brought up the courage to post my art attempts in this dump thread. You'll find digital as pencil art here. If I make more art I'll keep adding it to this thread.

 

Digital Drawings

Twilight dancing without any worries or hold backs. I really liked those moments in the show where she does that

Spoiler

 

 

This was a April fools joke I posted on my Profile Update. The idea was to get an invitation to Ponyville via the best mail mare in all of Equestria. As I recall many wanted to come along with me back then

I did this picture in quite a hurry so the background is really messy here

Spoiler

 

 

A follow up on the Aprils fool joke some days alter. Having a party with no other than Vinyl taking care of the music

Spoiler

 

 

I tried artwork around Coco. Don't ask me what she's working on there

Spoiler

 

 

Rainbow loves the music

Spoiler

 

This was the first bigger digital artwork I showed to other people.

Pencil Drawings

Before there was the digital art for me I used pencils and I still do.

 

Some practice on characters faces I haven't drawn much

Spoiler

 

 

High speed landing on RD or 'Best methods for farming Turnips'

Spoiler

 

 

More Rainbow

Spoiler

 

Some try on her Queen itself

Spoiler

 

 

Rara is such a beauty but her mane is really tricky

Spoiler

 

My first try on the CMC. As I recall somepony said I would make definitely my mark

Spoiler

 

Yeah, I made her drop her muffin for this pic and I felt guilty.

Spoiler

 

so I apologized with some muffins later

Spoiler

 

My first full body Fluttershy and pony for that matter

Spoiler

 

 

and here my first pony drawing. I found on 24th of January the song Flutterborn and was so motivated to draw Fluttershy in the Dovakihn helmet myself >D

You are a machine, Astral! Your work is stunning! 

[Astralshy 23,558]

@TomDaBombMLPThank you, Tom :>

 

Update time

I've playing around with shading and lighting recently

 

Picture 1: Rara singing moment from the episode in season 5

 

Picture 2: This moment from Starlight's nightmare scene from season 7

 

and last but not least something which does not belong in this previous category of shading and light.

 

Picture 3:  Flutterspy - best pone

[ExplosionMare 18,007]

Awesome work, especially with the Rara image!

[Splashee 28,537]

Very nice shading on the drawings @Astral Soul

[Evil Pink One 12,974]

Now that I've seen more of your drawing I can more accurately judge your works....

Picture 1, ranked up to 8

Picture 2, is 6.5

Picture 3 is 7

More practice and research and you are gonna reach pro level.

Where do you draw?

You continuing giving me high praise, Thanks.

Thanks again. Well, actually all I'm doing is practicing and trying out xD

Maybe I'm too tired but I don't think you want to know the location. I'm assuming you're asking what  software I use to draw? But I'm guessing here

@ExplosionMare@Splashee

Thanks, you both. That's high praise from you as well :>

[Midnight Danny 9,023]

I'm already the biggest fan of you, tea mate!!  Incredible artworks!

Software.... I'm.. I'm not a stocker!?

Well, I believe you this time

That depends on what pictures we're talking about. The first pictures I created in GIMP. For the later pictures I used Affinity Photo. But the differences are more from my increased understanding how digital art works. In fact I use in both program the same basic tools like Paint Brush, Eraser, Flood Select Tool, Color Picker etc. The most fancy tool I've used while creating these picture are Gaussian Blur Filters.

[Paleopony 690]

Nice drawings astral!

[Props Valroa 26,039]

I can't believe I missed the incredible artwork in this thread. Wow!

[Astralshy 23,558]

Thanks @Paleopony and @Starforce :3

Here's my latest picture my take/spin of this famous scene from season 5.

 

[Astralshy 23,558]

almost forgot to add this picture in the collection in this thread :>

Hehe, yes it does look like it xD

Look at the second Pencil drawing there @Paleopony.  @Kujamih pointed back then out that it does look far more  like a turnip than a piece of the ground xDDD

10 months since the last picture  .. that's so bitter. I hope I could find some time that I can go back to drawing and would be totally in the mood for that xD

I hadn't seen the one of Fluttershy in shades before. Is that from something I'm forgetting, or did you just feel like putting her in disguise? It's cute either way.

There are actually quite some pics of  Flutterhy in disguise, but none of them (at least none that I saw) put also animals into the picture. So I just felt like putting here into this disguise myself and adding something new to it :>

[Flying Pencil 3,023]

I love all your drawings @Astral Soul. Both the digital and pencil drawings are really well made. Keep up the great work friend

[Sparklefan1234 161,860]

@Astral Soul Awesome artwork, BFFFF! 

[North Star 4,540]

how have I not seen this before D: wonderful art @Astral Soul
