[Drahgoon 152]

Turning this into my general art gallery! All drawn using mouse and keyboard. Never really drawn anything before, but ponies inspired me to start doing art. Critiques are very appreciated!

Wow... this is really your first time?

 

Anyways, It's splendid. You got the MLP style of Twi down wonderfully. ^^

 

But perhaps you should have a little cleaner lines. It's a little all over the place and uneven. But you can easily fix that with some vector straight/perfect curved line brushes.

Thanks, haha. Ponies inspired me to start drawing. I made about 7 drawings and sketches over the last two days to practice but these two are the ones I'm most proud of. I ordered a bamboo splash tablet so hopefully that'll fix the wobbly lines. Thanks for the feedback! 

[SørenWolf 227]

That really is quite a good drawing i look forward to seeing whatever else you plan on uploading. Also I think you should keep with this style. Every artist has their own style and it makes their works unique.

Wait.. You drew this with a mouse? wuttt And this is your first time?

Ok well I'm totally fregin amazed. Its a million times better then I can do, and possibly ever do .

 

Wonderful job

I know that I am not artistically inclined myself. Honestly I wish I could draw or do art in some form because stuff like this is Awesome.  

And to Drahgoon: Having the courage to post images of your drawings is cool. It inspires me to work on my own form of artistic expression.

[Drahgoon 152]

Merged this post into the first one. This used to contain the fluttershy drawing, but I decided it would be better for all my art to be in the first post. More organized that way.

have you ever considered doing requests? your artstyle is fantastic and I would recommend it, have a think about it. lovin' the art

[Dusty Soul 2,614]

Very nice, Though some of the edges are a bit rough.  And it has a very 2D feeling, though its a 3D position.  (The first one that is.)  They are both pretty good though.

[Drahgoon 152]

Thanks! I have no idea why the first one looks so 2D. Might be the background. I guess I could do requests. Give me a reference picture and a pose and I could try my best at it. I'll draw them when I have time, what with sports, symphony and homework to work on.

[Skargon 6]

Wow, by the looks of it I thought you had done a bunch of practice, Those are awesome for a "drawing Pony Newbie" 

Looking really good.

[Drahgoon 152]

Haven't drawn anything in a few days so I took some time to draw Celestia. Wings are the hardest for me to grasp hold of. Also didn't know how to make the mane shiny so i just threw some luminosity on there. I also didn't notice how pink she was until I was done. Enjoy!

 

Practiced some Twilight and lighting. I still shade very messily since I'm not confident in my skills to make solid shadows. Took about two and a half hours.

After watching the new episode I just HAD to draw Dash in the Wonderbolt training uniform. Wings are still a sore spot for me, as well as shading. It all looks very messy to me. Oh well. Hopefully when I get my tablet it'll look better. 

Decided to draw AJ after watching the latest episode. This was also my fastest drawing yet, taking about an hour total. I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of this

Well I took a look at the rest of your other art, and its all just wonderful! .

You've got one heck of a talent for art bro, Its so adorable and beautiful at the same time!

 

So yeah kudos to you, maybe I'll become even half as good as you someday!

 

Keep up the good work bro!

Thanks! I know you'll get better as time goes on. Good practice would be doing the artist training ground challenges on Equestria Daily every Tuesday/Wednesday. They give valuable practice as well as a subject to draw.

 

This drawing started out as a sketch, but the more I drew the more I liked it. The head was the hardest thing to draw, since this is an awkward angle that I don't usually see in the show. Enjoy!

Your drawings are amazing! Much better than I can do, I'll give you props for that. Keep on drawing those amazing pony pictures.

[Trinity Erin 32]

There is definitely improvement from your first to your most recent drawing. Kudos to you! Very cute drawings, keep drawing and keep improving!

Thank you! Encouragement like this is what keeps me drawing.

Thanks! I can definitely see improvement from my old drawings, even though it hasn't been all that long.

 

Also, good news everypony! My tablet finally arrived after being delayed a few days because of heavy snowfall in our area. I never would have gotten this into drawing if it wasn't for all the encouragement these forums have given me. I drew this up quickly to say thanks for everything you guys have done for me. Look forward to more drawings to come!

 

[Sensuna 138]

Amazing stuff   
especially the lighting and the background look wonderful and twilight looks the best in your drawing I think personally

[AustralianFries 213]

Wow very good mate. Props. -Golf clap- Now at this point I would critique you, but in all honesty there's really nothing to critique. I mean it's all just nitpicking little stuff. But no overall glaring errors I can find. Very well done! 'specially considering they're all mouse drawn. That's pretty tough to do (: Look forward to seeing more from you!

[nightshine 12]

Thanks for the compliments  . This art is quite old and I've improved since, but I'm still proud of how they look despite using a mouse.  I do indeed have a deviantART! Just click on my signature image. It's just for personal art pieces. Any requests I do aren't posted there. All of my drawn requests can be found on various threads in Creative Resources.
