Derpy Has Something On Her Mind - First Digital Art!


~Master~ Button Mash

Recommended Posts

This is my first ever digital pony. Did it in GIMP with my new Wacom Bamboo that I picked up at Best Buy today.

 

It's a simple image - a single layer, 585 x 381 pixels. More of an exercise than a serious art attempt. Can't wait to see what I can do once I begin to incorporate more layers, work with a bigger canvas, and better calibrate the pen (just using defaults at the moment).

 

I was actually trying to reference her from my hoodie, while I was still wearing it. It was quite the sight. :P

I'm a noob, I know. :P So please, criticize to your heart's content, Celestia knows I could use some advice...

Way more original than my first attempt, which was a recolour of Rainbow Dash... Which I also failed at, as I wasn't supposed to include the wings!

So I took this personality-test... And apparently, I'm most like Fluttershy~
2015- edit - not too much has changed, but now I'm a wee bit more like Twilight~

The neck is really long and thin.  The head is to slender .  It looks good though, keep at it.  Nicely done. Better then my first try at it.

Oh yeah, the neck. I was originally going to do a body but I had trouble looking up a body tutorial (my Internet gets sporadic sometimes). So I decided to crop it down a bit, extend the neck and give it an oekaki-style. My body attempts were...sub par. :P

I have a little advice that may help for making bodies...

Grab a vector, and draw helping circles over it in a new layer, and maybe do basic sketches using these as well as images as a reference to where goes what - that way you'll get practice for it, and it might stick in the end~

I still use one every now and then (though even then I'm not 100% dependent on it... Just for small details~)
