[xSplode 11]

Hello, this is my first MLP art that i done. I spent about 2 days on it and i decided to do it on one of my favorite ponies, Scootaloo. I know its not great but i tried

 

 

Constructive criticism would be appreciated

Needs about 11 more herbs. I had so many jokes to go with on this one.

 

It's pretty good for a first time. What did you use?

 

EDIT: THE EYES SCREAM MURDER. Just don't. Look. Into. The EYES.

Better than mine...

Great job! It looks pretty good!

[xSplode 11]

I used the program Paint.NET

Don't save it as a .jpg, next time.

^That and a few lines are a bit awkward, but other than that, it's really good

[ScruffyPony 23]

Considering this is your first ever pony picture, this is excellent! It's on-model and everything!

 

If you're looking for some constructive criticism, your lines are a bit shaky. That'll correct itself with more practice, though.

 

Again, this is superb! Keep it up. :3

Really good for your first MLP drawing. I can tell you used a reference because I've seen this pose in the show before. Here's somethings you should study over for about a week, plus a few notes about working digitally.

Tablet or mouse? And which tablet, if you don't.

Also, I've never used Paint.NET, but I'm guessing it's a lot like SAI. Does it have a stabilizer?

Things to learn:

Drawing with volume. (Use basic volume shapes/prisms as guidelines, don't use 2D shapes like Squares and triangles unless an object is flat.)

How to center the eyes. (I found a good tutorial on this about year ago if you want.)

NOTES:

Always export to .PNG when done, unless animating, then export to .GIF. (This is a quality thing.)

I used my mouse, plus im new to Paint.NET so i don't know very much about it yet, i just learned about it from a friend,

I use Paint.NET too. . . but I still cant draw as good as that, granted the jpg quality.

You should work on your lines a little bit, but other then that its a good drawing.

JPG basically compresses the pictures and introduces new colour pixels; therefore, the quality is lowered because the picture seems blurry.

Did I mention that PNG pictures allow you to keep transparency? This is good for shading and/or transparent backgrounds/vectors.

Oh, also, that looks good for a first attempt. I don't use any computer programs so I don't have anything to complain on. Maybe some more shading on the back legs? XD

Well that's a lot better than I could do!

Way to go! Plus, I LOVE Scootaloo!! LOL!

Why did you draw a chicken?

 

All joking aside, that's a pretty good first drawing. It looks pretty much like how she does in the show.
