I think I'm getting better

[Arcus (Silver Lining) Wind 983]

These are my most recent drawings. I've been trying to develop my own style. Sorry it's difficult to see, just click on the pictures to see them full sized. I'll be getting a tablet and drawing digitaly soon so that should help. I think I'm getting better, but what do you think?

Great job! Keep up the good work! I like the one you did of Octavia! It's really well done! Draw more! Please! Btw nice signature! It's cute!

[Arcus (Silver Lining) Wind 983]

Thanks. Octavia is my favorite pony so I'll be doing a lot more pictures of her. And thanks for the complement on my siggy. I think I might do a drawing of Fluffle Puff soon.

Not bad, not bad at all!

 

Still really rough around the edges, but you of course can polish it up some more to get your style more refined.

Yeah it's kind of tuff to keep the pencil running smooth. But when I get my digital drawing tablet I think the overall quality of my drawings will improve. Thank you for commenting.

Not a problem!

 

Yeah, my brother draws a lot, and he got a Wacom tablet and has been drawing a lot more smoothly and in higher quality since then.

I want a tablet. I have to hand draw all my art and I'm hoping my parents'll get me one. My birthday was recently. I'm so excited! Keep up the great art!

Thanks I will. I hope you get your tablet. I've watched a lot of livestreams and speed paints and it always looks so cool compared to drawing on paper. I can hardly wait to get started with my tablet!

[Preeminent Pisces 100]

Yeah, I'm so jealous of everypony who has one. Their art is always so amazing! I'd probably need a tutor as well...just so I can learn the basics....

[Friendship_Cannon 1,676]

Better? Those are all really beautiful,though I admit Octavia looks the best, cool positioning (though I didn´t even see her right rear hoof in the beginning) ;D

 

@Luna Pie: Everybody has a tablet but I think hand-drawn stuff is at least nearly as amazing, easier to mess up but somehow... you´re just a bit more free, so to say xD

[Preeminent Pisces 100]

Yeah, I guess. But I still want a tablet. It's fun to draw things by hand. I tried using paint, but it didn't work so well. Plus, I'm self-taught in hand drawing so I get that much credit.

Yeah the scanners light kinda distorted the lines. I agree alot of the traditional art is impressive. Specially when they color it. I tried that and I can't do color on paper.

same thing here, whenever I tried coloring I had to trash my work. I really adore people who can actually draw fine only with color pencils and make it look awesome... yep, those people exist xD

Oh I know! Crystal Rose is one of my favorites. I think she's currently working on my request and I can hardly wait to see how it turns out.

[Preeminent Pisces 100]

I try to use colored pencils but my scanner always shows them faintly and normally incorrectly. I have posted a couple pieces if you want to check them out. They're not too good, I'm afraid.

 sure thang, where to find them? do you have a DeviantART account? and don´t be afraid, it cant be worse then the crimes I do whenever a color pencil  is in reach and doesn´t escape xD

[Preeminent Pisces 100]

Nah, I'm just on the forums. Try to see if ya'll can find them through my account.  If not, I'll post the links here. Thanks everypony!

[Zygen 6,066]

Well i'd say your getting better, but really with practice that normally happens .

 

I'd say it looks good to me btw . Keep up the good work, and the practice of course! .

[Preeminent Pisces 100]

But I don't want to steal

Arcus (Silver Lining) Wind's shine. So please everypony congratulate them before anything else happens because they definitely did a good job!

[Lucifer 233]

I see you're getting better, indeed, as the topic title implies.

 

I think you're actually in better shape than I am... Specially... That Octavia pose... ~<3

You are definitively good, and if yu keep drawing, you'll get even better. So, just train train train!

Thanks. It seems people are really liking the one of Octavia. I'm still developing my "own style" as it were so I'm glad to see that people are liking it.

I better not tell why do I like Octa... The Octavia image, indeed. For now, your style does not diverge much from the normal drawing ways, but I look forward to see what goes out of there.

Really nice. Can't say more

How long have you been drawing ponies? I just ask because these (and the jaguar, leopard, whatever it is) look really good for a beginner.

[DoctorWhovian1902 596]

Nice work! Those look very show-accurate. See, it's stuff like this that makes me wish I could draw worth anything. I tried once, but...it didn't look good, let's put it that way.

Thanks I'm glad you like them. I've only been drawing for about two and a half months.

I use references so that's probably why they look so close to the show. But I'm trying to develop my own style off of that. Keep trying. If you saw the pictures I did when I first started you'd think I was 5yrs old. Look at some of the tutorials the community has and use references.  And NEVER give up.
