Come with me friday

...Don't say "maybe".

 

So yeah: trying to get the hang of drawing humans while listening to music.

Rara turned out a bit olderlooking than I intended, but what's a shipper to do?

Might actually end up doing a folloup of the two at the concert.

Might also end up colouring this, in the meantime all C&C is welcome.

You should draw a bard from Skyrim.

I have also been working rather hard to improve my human drawings as well, and it is not an easy task to go through with.  Why is that drawing ponies is so much easier?

 

In any case, I doubt that there would be much to dissuade Spike from spending more time with Rarity and I would love to see a follow up to this.  I can actually see something like this as a mini-comic or something of that nature.

 

The picture itself is rather well done and I do like the designs you gave for both Rarity and Spike, with Rarity's hairstyle being especially cute to me. Though I am rather curious as to why you feel Rarity looks older than you wanted her to be as I feel she looks rather young as is.  The expressions are also nicely done and depict the scene rather well, with Spike slightly taken aback and surprised (which is very believable and adds that much more the the drawing).

 

However, there are a couple areas that I would just keep watch on in the future.  Just watch your proportions, as the both of Rarity's arms are not equal in length with Rarity's right (our left) upper arm being shorter than the left and vice versa for the lower arm.  Also, the hand that is resting on Rarity's hip seems to be backwards with the thumb placement being on the wrong side of the hand.  And this final bit is more of a possible nip-pick than a legitimate critique, but I cannot shake the feeling that Spike seems to be floating slightly in the picture.  I believe that is due to both Rarity and Spike being on slightly different ground planes, with Rarity being lower and Spike being slightly higher.  

 

Overall, this is a fine example of your practice with human drawings.  Human anatomy is not an easy subject to draw by any stretch but you seem to have your foundations in good order with just a few refinements needed here and there.  Just watch your proportions and keep on practicing, because I hope to see more of your work soon.  Keep up the good work and take care!

*breaks out guitar*

Cause ponies are better than people...

I'm actually planning on something like that, though I'll have to get a lot more familiar with the characters (both faces and bodies) for that. Probably start out with doing one of the expression charts, like a real artist would. For now my main concern is avoiding getting any more anime-ish on the faces.

Keep up the good work and take care!

I'll do my best. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
