My pony drawings (CZK).

[ComanderZhabikKlavik 5,599]

Hi everyone! Today I painted a picture of @Ice Princess Silky <3 and @Sir Hugsalot in the mountains. The picture is painted on a cardboard canvas 50x40 (millimeters) with acrylic paints.

The painting is compared to the computer so that the size of the painting is clear.

I need to improve my drawing skills of grass and mountains. I am not very good at drawing these things.

[Ice Princess Silky <3 20,313]

Awww this is so precious. He and I do love nature and the meadows.

Thank you for commemorating us. He has played such an important role in the forums and in the lives of many people. So there will always be many hugs 

@Sir Hugsalotand I are now friends but memories like these are timeless

Damn seriously? If you're not very good at drawing them, then I'm really bad at drawing them 💦 no, seriously, They look perfect to me ~☆

For me it is not ideal. Here are the paintings of Ivan Shishkin (my favorite artist) which look ideal to me and I strive to paint as well.

But he painted with oil paints, and I paint with acrylic, I don’t know if I will be able to learn to paint with acrylic as well. I have oil paints but they take too long to dry, I don’t want to paint for months. I will still paint with oil sometimes but not so often.

I don't think my painting is very good. Another problem with my painting is that the ponies didn't turn out well enough. I usually draw ponies in a canonical style, but this time I deviated from the canon and it didn't turn out very well. You may think that I'm criticizing my painting too much, but I think this will help me avoid making mistakes when drawing future paintings.

Oh, I understand what you're saying. But i also think it's not so fair to compare the two at this point, these paitings are a lot more detailed, different methods, materials, there's a lot more to it than just experience and time, your drawing feels simpler mostly due to the limitations, at least it's what I believe, also, color temperament really makes a difference, yours is more vivid while Shishkin's feel lifeless, that can add a extra tone of realism to it.

About the ponies i can't really say much, maybe it's just your art style and you're testing new poses ~☆

Hi everyone! Today I painted a picture with acrylic paints on a cardboard canvas. The canvas size is 30x40 or 45, I don't remember. The picture is "Rainbow Dash In The Ancient Garden".

Those images you linked to the end made all the difference! Seeing the the details up close really helped. You were able to hid so much depht and 3D to that picture, to the grass and to the flowers. Seriously, you're into something here. Mountains and the sky as you said were little lacking, but this is some good stuff you're cooking. 

Have you thought trying some other ways/materials when painting, or perhaps combining  them? Acrylics are good and all, but adding pencil or watercolors can help with the details.

Shadows and the sun rays in this one are really well done. One can sence the setting evening sun. Well done!

I use pencil, but I don’t like painting with watercolors

 

I am glad that I managed to find time and paint a picture.

The color of the Lyre turned out wrong, I mixed different paints but I still couldn't get the right color

These look so lovely, as always! I think the color of Lyra can still fit because of the shadows, maybe :O

Thank you! I still think that the color of the Lyra is not very suitable even because of the shadows

You also need to consider that my phone camera renders the color a little incorrectly. In real life, the color looks a little different

This is what color Lyra should have been:

Attention! Achtung! Announcement:

Hello everypony! Unfortunately this year and half of next year there will be no new paintings here or there will be few of them. I am currently preparing for the Unified State Exam, so I cannot devote time to art, but if I have time I will definitely draw something

[ComanderZhabikKlavik 5,599]

I'll be posting a new painting here soon. It'll be ready in a few days. I plan to finish the sketch for the new painting today. I won't show the sketch yet because it will be a surprise.

[ComanderZhabikKlavik 5,599]

I wanted to finish the painting today, but I don't think I'll be able to. Maybe I'll finish it tomorrow or Monday.

[ComanderZhabikKlavik 5,599]

Hi everyone! I finally finished the painting. It's painted on a cardboard canvas with acrylic paints. I haven't finished this painting completely, but I decided to finish it because I'm really tired of painting it. I wanted to add some details to this painting and the structure of the stone the fireplace is made of, but I don't have the strength. I also can't get the colors I need, so I had to make similar colors.

How do you like this painting?

They are very well painted. I was considering traditional painting in the past but i came to the realization that buying enough of the right kinds of paints was going to be an expensive hassle.
