Winterbass 763 October 23, 2012 Share October 23, 2012 Hey hey! I started with drawing recently and this is what I've come up with a while back, any tips? I'm not that good though, so I'd appreciate if you see anything wrong with the picture, aside from the snout, that's just the way I want to draw them. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironhoof 16 October 23, 2012 Share October 23, 2012 Hey hey! I started with drawing recently and this is what I've come up with a while back, any tips? I'm not that good though, so I'd appreciate if you see anything wrong with the picture, aside from the snout, that's just the way I want to draw them. Looks good to me! *Brohoof* If anything, I would focus on using pencil to do the drawings (Very light lines), and when you're done, finish it off with a nice fine point roller-pen. This is especially good when $$$ is short, and you're just starting out. As for the type of pen, I would highly recommend a brand called TUL (Pronounced Tool). I doesn't bleed, and leaves a really smooth line. Try a test line on another piece of paper - giving it time to dry - and lightly erase the pencil lines. For the eraser, I use the crumbly type eraser. That one is gentle on the paper, and great at getting rid of the pencil lines. Hope that helps.

Hmm I see, I kinda did this with no guidelines at all, I use guidelines a lot though when I'm drawing, I just don't know why I didn't do it here. I'll look into the pens, I use pens but mine aren't that good, they're just some supermarket brand. I use the same type of eraser, I'll never make the mistake to accidentally crumple my paper ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight_Scratch 13 October 24, 2012 Share October 24, 2012 Looks really good has nice and clean lines and the proportions are good just splash some color on dat poneh and were good to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoisonClaw 8,164 October 24, 2012 Share October 24, 2012 (edited) No-not that good?! You sell yourself short! This looks great, especially for what I can only assume is a first try. The only bit of advice I could possibly add is you might want to clean up the line-work a bit to make it a little less..."scratchy".

sugarfree314 24 October 24, 2012 Share October 24, 2012 I love this. And to be quite honest, I like the scratchy look to it too. That style of artwork and drawing has always had a certain down-to-earth charm for me. I really cannot think of anything I would suggest to make this better. Except maybe, play around with shading and colours. I bet you would do very well with that too Every pony has a dark side. The most cheerful often have the darkest and saddest secrets of all.

Hmm.. colour? Good idea! I'll add some color to it, let's see how this works out. No-not that good?! You sell yourself short! This looks great, especially for what I can only assume is a first try. The only bit of advice I could possibly add is you might want to clean up the line-work a bit to make it a little less..."scratchy". Yeah, I did this without any guidelines just drew what came up in my head. I know some might not like the scratchy style, I myself love the scratchy look, although I'd rather draw more clean, just wanted to see what would happen if I did draw this way, see what would come up. It's not my first drawing though, more like my fourth or fifth. I love this. And to be quite honest, I like the scratchy look to it too.

I bet you would do very well with that too Yeah, the scrachy look sure has some charm to it, doesn't it, I especially love FoxInShadow's art, his art looks amazing! I don't know if I should start messing with shading yet because I still have to find my own drawing style. I'll look into colouring as previously suggested, perhaps it'll work out somehow. -- Soo... I've coloured it. It came out pretty well, kinda used the colour scheme of raindrop because hers is just lovely My hands aren't that steady yet but I hope that'll change in the future, yea, probably will.
