Numbers (OC) Drawing and Vector

[Key Gear 6,663]

After procrastinating for quite some time, I finally got around to creating a vector of Numbers, my OC in the Shifted RP. To make a long story short, Numbers is an earth pony with a talent for figuring out complex things and making them more efficient. He is also a little bit off.

 

The original drawing was drawn up by my younger sister after I begged, pleaded, and bargained quite a bit (I now owe her some custom vectors). Then, I scanned in her drawing and used it as a reference for creating the vector. I'm including both because I found the process of vectoring from hand drawn art to be quite fun, and it's interesting to compare the two images.

(As a side note, yeah, his mane and tail are intentionally disheveled. )

That is one nice vector. The lines look well done. The mane looks really nice as well as the tail. So, nice job with the vector.

Scoots, stop being so tough on yourself and paranoid. That art is far better. I can't draw ponies like, at all. ;_;

 

I would love to see more art! With practice and experience comes increased skill. Trust me I should know.

Same here. I am what is called "Artistically challenged" when it comes to drawing. I have mad respect for your artwork, Scootacool.

Man I wanna learn how to vector... This makes me want to stop procrastinating and start giving it a try... Sadly I am far to lazy to do so

So that's what Numbers looks like, cool, he does seem to look like what I had in mind, great design!

can anyone link me to a program i can use to draw ponies on my computer i really want to try it sometime

[Rainbow Dash Loyalty 1,275]

Wow, the drawing looks perfect, as if it's duplicated without color. Easily one of the best vectors I've seen on the forums.

Thank you everyone!

Well, if you want to learn vectoring (which is what I do), then you can download Inkscape and follow these tutorials by our very own :

If you would like to learn how to draw non-vector ponies, then you can grab Paint Tool SAI and follow these tutorials by @Ezynell:

Give both methods a try and see what works best for you. I hope that these links are good enough to get you started. Pony art is a really fun and relaxing hobby.

Very nice! <: May I suggest outlining some of the eye? And maybe making the line on the tummy a little 'longer' if that makes sense? Good job though~
