Arsen's Art Thread

[Arsen 108]

Hello everyone and welcome to my art thread!

 

I recently purchased a Wacom tablet so I plan to start making art regularly. I will keep this thread updated as much as I can. As I am just learning to use a pen tablet, I would love some feedback/suggestions on my work. Thanks, I hope you enjoy.

 

Programs I use often: Photoshop CS6, Paint.NET, Gimp

Just finished up this sketch. Took a good 2 or so hours. Should be finished tomorrow. After this I'll be drawing Spike then using them all (excluding my OC) in a scene of sorts.

Wow, I gotta say the first one is actually decent without a tablet.  The Pinkie Pie could use an improvement with shading, but other than that I'd say it's great.  I can't wait to see that Rarity sketch colored.

Hey these are looking pretty nice! I too have a tablet the same as you, and I know you have to get used to it, looks like you are getting the hang of it, nicely done! Keep it up!

Although the shapes can be a bit off, overall this is fabulous work. I love them. They get better as you go down, in my opinion. I love the last pic of Rarity.

 

Great work!

You got a good linework going there, much better than I manage on a tablet.

The shading seems a bit off though, as do the proportions on the Pinkie (neck, manesize) and RD (headshape, wings) pics,

I assume you trace or copied these poses, which is generally a bad idea, as it is really easy to slip into uncanny valley territory.

 

That being said, the Rarity pic looks just about perfect (maybe curve the nose a bit more upward).

 

I'll keep my eye on this thread.

Thanks! I'm progressively getting better aha. It certainly takes a lot of practice.

Yeah proportions are a bit hard. What I do is mirror the pose on one monitor and draw it on another. I try to fix proportional errors within the defined sketch but it doesn't always work out the way I like. You can see in the sketch pictures both the original (semi transparent) and defined sketches. Very little change is made the majority of the time. I would like to make it clear that I don't trace. That's an extremely offensive accusation actually. It's not really fair for you to make such harsh assumptions .

Thanks, it means a lot. I just slightly changed the shading on Pinkie so I believe it looks a bit better now. Well, I hope it does anyway aha.

I've been very busy lately so I haven't posted anything in a while. I would like to get back into it so I need ideas. Suggestions would be highly appreciated.
