Rainbow Dash & Scootaloo

[G1 Derpy FTW 134]

This one is interesting no doubt...

                                                      A bit of some back story, As much as I don't like Rainbow Dash I guess her only redeeming quality is the fact that she agreed to be Scootaloo's like "big sister" or something. That doesn't change my opinion about her though, I just adore Scootaloo that's all.

 

At first I had to get a feel for Rainbow Dash in flight because I have only been drawing Earth and occasionally Unicorn type Ponies and this is my first attempt at a Pegasus so I sloppily drew an over head view of her. Oh and also I sketched an eye and it reminds me of Pinkie Pie which creeps me out...   It's always watching!!!

 

This crude sketch of Derpy was the predecessor and inspiration for the main piece.

You can see the similarities of Scoots and Derpy...

 

I wanted to draw them together but it was tough getting the right perspective of them flying. The manes may look odd but I tried to portray them as if they were hurdling through the sky after all Rainbow Dash can break the sound barrier! This was my best take on it. (And yes I know I forgot RD's Cutie Mark I will update if need be!)

Great job drawing it! I think you did a great job on.. well, everything! Better than I can ever do.. you even go the hooves right! Great! :3

Thank you I'm glad at least some pony likes it! The hooves were some what the easiest part it was trying to get depth in the body, that was the real struggle.

You got my 2 favorite in that picture, how happy you got scootloo to look is great i gotta say i love that drawing, rainbows arm holding scoot looks a lil out of proportion that that might just be cause of depth of the picture though

i think i'm looking at the perspective wrong so it's not

I know what you mean I think its the bottom of her arm is what's throwing it all off. Making Scoots as happy as she can be was top priority! I just hope some day she wont need RD's help maybe she could get lessons at the same time as Twilight Sparkle does...

Fandom can always use more Scootalove <3 Very cute and very nicely done :3 Keep practicing, and I'm sure you can make things even better, too.

Pretty good work, although I must say that RD on the lower picture appears to have no legs or.. rear end. But maybe I'm just not seeing something. Also, I would have draw the tail of her mane on the lower pic. 

I love how you did Scoots though, shes perfect.

[G1 Derpy FTW 134]

Rainbow Dash's ear kinda blocked her left hind leg so it may look weird. As for her behind I don't really know what it should look like in a flying position so I tried to cover it with her tail but I guess it didn't work. Haha

Lets just say my first drawing was a tutorial the second one is what I originally wanted it to look like it came out pretty damn good... although the faces gave me a hard time.

All of these are great! Im terrible at drawing perspectives while maintaing good looking proportions and making it look as clean as you did.  Very awesome work.

Thank man!! For some reason I always like the way it looks during the structural stage but then when it comes down to actually finishing/outlining the pony I don't feel like doing it. Either way I am surprisingly am good at it...
