Needing pose practice

[WhimsicalHues 28]

Hi! I’m looking to draw a couple characters in dynamic pose. I hope it does come off as rude, but since this will be free art, I want to set a couple requirements or rules just to keep from feeling overwhelmed later. 

I want to do these for those without well drawn art for their characters. I.e pony maker or non artist work. This gives me a little more freedom since I won’t subconsciously try to match the original style. It’s been a long time since I’ve really drawn ponies and I’m trying to master my own style first.

If your character has distinctions that couldn’t be added, please include a detailed description. Please note that I may adjust the mane and tail styles but it won’t be too much. My art style includes black line work so the colors may also be adjusted for visibility purposes. And these are flat color only.

This is also for practice drawing poses. Please include a detailed description of a pose or action that is in character for your pony to be doing. There won’t be any backgrounds for these pieces so please keep that in mind.

Lastly, I most likely won’t be able to draw every pony so please don’t be disappointed if I don’t get to you. 
 

Thank you for reading and I hope I didn’t come off as rude or anything. Examples of my art are included. Please comment with the necessary information if interested.

This request was made by a user the other day but was sadly buried by newer posts before being accepted by anyone, it might very well make their day for you to give it a crack?

Can you tell me a little about her? Like what she’d do for fun or work and if you have any details that you couldn’t include when making her?

Could you try Lacewing here? The tail is meant to be an actual reformed changeling tail, the blue on the left wing, eyes, and back hooves is supposed to be cyan, but it ended up too dark in Ponytown.

Lacewing is a reformed changeling who is quite introverted and shy, so he typically stays out of potentially dangerous situations.

Pose? Fluttering in the air, like Scootaloo maybe? It'd be a nice pose to see

So I drew her making gems, figured she’d probably keep her mane out of her way while she worked so drew it in a messy loose bun. I like her cutie mark but also made another version with an edited mark. Hope you like it!

Hi! I had a lot of fun on this one. I did play with the colors a bit but only in saturation. Hope you like it! (Also two images in case you prefer a white background along with the specific pose cause scoot is too cute)

Ooh! He looks so good!.

If I might throw my own hat in the ring 


A Pegasus stallion, mid 20s with an adventurous vibe about him, a light grey coat and a scruffy skater/surfer inspired dark grey mane.
If his head isn't in the clouds he sure is and I if you are up for it maybe a cool flying pose? 


This strikes me as a cool pose but by all means please do whatever you are happy to do! I give you full digression with the pose and  hair and I also do wonder if grey eyes instead of red would work in your opinion?

I haven't spent any time working on a cutie mark so he can remain a blankflank for now

I honestly think the red eyes should be kept, it's a nice accent color and it works as a pop of color amongst the greys

But, I'm not a color expert, so what do I know

Not the same pose but similar! I haven’t drawn a pony from this any before and when I was looking for more references I couldn’t resist doing a little wink

I love the look on her face when she is crafting!   I do like the 2ed cutie mark but I feel the first fits her a bit more, maybe have add some sparked and not the frame work?  Yet very lovely done!
