My first Pony art with Drawing Tablet. Thoughts?

[Trixiefan 16]

Hey Everypony!

I just bought a new bamboo tablet and thought i might try a pic for you. It is from the Episode "the secret of my excess" and the actual drawing is of spike's sapphire cupcake any feedback. I am not a great artist and haven't tried to use my laptop to draw before XD

I think a little more care could get you places as I'm seeing little lines between the darkest, and the nest darkest shades you used.

Damn you almost made me eat my monitor.

That sure looks delicious! Which program did you used to bake it??

(That is called dramatization, but seriously, you made me bite the screen.)

[Jokuc 8,172]

Damn you made me hungry! Haha it looks really good. Have you made alot of art before you had a tablet? It looks like you have

Good work!

Ok i will answer questions!

First from Pix3m: Well i guess i should improve on that i'll take it into consideration on my next drawing XD

Ok now Devious Detonation: I have a really weird method XD i draw a frame in Cs6 flash and use windows snip tool to paste it into a .png file. Basically i use flash for the brushes that smooth cos they really help

Then from Mr Nibblers (cool name BTW) I havent done any other art i got this because i thought it would be a good skill to have in life to be able to draw on a computer not just paper and canvas

Ok that seems to sum up thanks for the Feedback XD

Yours Cool-ly

Wow i like it alot actually if you dont mind me asking what program that is too. Im trying to get into drawing ponies aswell but i cant draw in real life so on comptuer like photoshop or illstartor would be really good for me

Ok well i reccomend you start off simple. Get to grips with Microsoft paint ( i had too and it looked awful) but then maybe try Paint tool SAI or GIMP (don't laugh XD) either of those are ok then if you get really good purchase Illustrator like you said. See how you go

Hehehe, this is good overall, the only thing that actualyl bugs me about it is that the sapphire chunks aren't big or shiny enough.

[Wubsie 1,123]

Haha, this is cute, I loved Spike's cupcake. The best cupcake.

This is pretty good for your first try.

I hope I see more from you, this is pretty nice.

That reminds me I need to go eat something... Anyways... it looks awesome. A little shaky, but whatever it's your first, and my how awesome it is.

[Trixiefan 16]

Ok i am uploading a pic of applejack's cutie mark I have experimented with an odd shading tool and it seems to have added a nice effect. Thoughts?
