Drawing dump of sorts

[StingeMuffin 244]

Just some drawings/doodles I've made within the last week. I only felt that the first two were necessary to outline in pen (more like I was too lazy to outline the rest), the others are only in pencil. Speaking of pencils, my scanner has the hardest time picking them up; I literally have to lightly scratch the led on the paper for it to show up.

 

I really dislike how much empty space there is in these drawings (mostly in the ponies), and I feel like me adding clothing only serves as a crutch for the lack of detail. The Cheerilee drawing is my favorite out of the bunch, just because there's more variance in shades. Scenery is an entirely other thing I need to work on, but drawing in general has helped me get better at it.

 

Anyways, I hope I can bring joy/happiness/whatever to at least one person with these; I just draw what makes me happy and hope that it does the same for someone else. That's really all I aim for!

 

 

 

 

Twilight, you're not supposed to bring books to the beach! (and dear Celestia, I noticed the horrible placement of her tail only after I inked everything! And I messed up her cutie mark, too. XD)

 

 

 

I thought younger Cheerilee looked cute (those braces! ), so I wanted to draw her! She's supposed to be saying something along the lines of "Me, a teacher? Yeah right!"

 

 

 

He tends to forget that he can use magic to reach objects, and she's, well... enjoying the view.

 

 

 

Nothing like a sweater and some hot coffee during the cold seasons!

 

 

 

Like the former two and next drawing, this was done very quickly and without much thought. You can see some legs on the top!

 

 

 

Spongebob reference... I really need to work on poses and pony anatomy.

Frankly, I'm just gonna stop at the twilight in a bikini drawing to tell you that your very own art is AWESOME!

 

I like your inking here as well

Stop being better than me everybody! Just when I think I'm getting a handle on this pony drawing thing, I realize I still suck in comparison. These are great by the way. I usually don't like ponies in bikinis and stuff like that but, dat Twilight. Props bro.

Thanks for commenting! I try to be very careful when I ink, but even then my shakey hands can get the best of me. I don't really know what I'm doing yet when it comes to inking (besides outlining everything), but I want to balance it with pencil shading, to give the impression of color. I wouldn't have to worry about that if I colored it in a digital program, but then I'd have to learn about color palettes/etc and relearn how to draw with a tablet!

 

Oh, and that bikini Twilight... I didn't do a rear-view drawing or anything... nope. XD

I've been in an art streak for the last two or so months, and I feel like my power level skills have doubled since then. Not that I think I'm any good yet, or that I believe I ever will be, so I just draw for fun and my own enjoyment and relaxation. It's just a matter of practicing consistently!

 

I honestly wasn't going for anything sexual when I drew Twilight, just cute, maybe that's why you like it?

I'm kinda partial to the young Cheerilee.  There's just something about her.  I know, it's that "Yeah, right!" expression she's making.  But I liked all of your sketches.

Thanks! I kind of feel the opposite about the Cheerilee and Twilight drawing - that they're the least expressive of the batch. Maybe it'd look more expressive to me if I'd drawn some downward-slanting eyebrows? I really liked drawing her hair, though, and I had a hard time trying to decide how to separate her excessive accessories from the rest of her body. It was fun!

The two random oc's from the third picture were intended to be an odd couple of sorts, with the mare (left) playing the dominant role and the colt (right) more submissive and gentle/feminine. He loves her for her strong and responsible nature, and she for his kindness and entirely accepting (if a little naive) attitude, aspects that the other tends to lack in, respectively.

 

I guess you could say she wears the pants in the relationship... huehue

 

Anyway, it was only drawn in pencil, and was a pain to clean up what with all the rough sketch lines and smudging. I could've drawn her ear lower and to the right, because her head is WAY too big. Still figuring out eyebrows and that weird eyeshadow/makeup that ponies seem to use. And consistency is always an issue!
