Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
Indeed, 'tis a tuber tree. Wasn't completely my intention to draw it like that, but I'm sure there is a type of tree somewhere that is like that. (Looking back at it it looks to me almost like a zombie tree that died and now has some small new growths coming out; must be the graveyard setting). Also maybe the fact that I went to bed last night at five this morning; I'm a little addled right now (and very glad I had the day off).
That zombie looks really happy... I think he just got a promotion.

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
Yeah, they do a good job of associating colour schemes with particular ponies. That or the mane/tail is usually enough to recognize one by (assuming you are familiar with the show of course). And that Twi/Jake thing is a little creepy (now I am trying to imagine what would happen if you merged their personalities).

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
S'been a long time since I've been here.
I have been drawing, just not every day. On the one hand it's a load off my mind. On the other hand it's not really doing me any good. I think I need to do a schedule or something. Every other day perhaps.
I did a few avatars for people. You'll probably see them when pirate week rolls around (Sept 16-22). Except Pokonic's which he has been wearing since I made it.
Pokonic:
Spoiler
Should've made the lines much thicker. You can barely see them on the avatar sized-version. I'll know for next time.
Harnel:
Spoiler
The tail should be going through his wings. I fixed it for the final avatar:
Ceric:
I also did sone gift art for a friend but I can't show it here. They haven't seen it yet and it's going to be a surprise!

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
Some more things I've drawn since last time, for the IRC and myself:
Zebra herbalist OC for... I forgot whom
"I draw a card"
Magical Pony Space Lich Princess WIP
A pony drifting in orbit
Rarity.. uh. Well, yeah. It's random.
Return of the Pony Rangers: Harmonic Unity.
Shadow in a hat.
Another enhatted pony.
And more randomness courtesy of Pinkie Pie
I should probably start doing some more coloring things again.Bearer of the Psionic Flame

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
Good to see people are still alive.
This is why I make sure to draw every day, even if most of the time its complete rubbish or I don't have the spare time to actually do anything proper (which is most days). Even if it isn't doing me much good if I don't have the opportunity to actually learn, its the sitting down and doing it that's important in my mind.
I promised myself that I'd get a magnificent hat one day. Strangely enough, I found that comic through ponies in the first place.

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
I tend to skim read the thread pretty regularly, but I neither have advice to give nor want advice in return, so there's not much for me to contribute.

See, just knock a bit and a few lurkers fall out. I think its just because September is a busy time of year. I know I've spent many an hour this last week writing job applications for the winter co-op term.

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
So I'm on tumblr when this comes up on my dashboard:
Spoiler
And suddenly I'm all like "Yeah, why not? Let's do this!"
...
Spoiler
Doesn't look a damn thing like me. Save for my stupid hair.
What I've learned from this (apart from the fact that I have no clue how to do feet) is that being given a task to do works much better than simply trying to do something without prompting.
So here's the deal. I would like you guys to suggest things that I should draw. Then I will draw them. Then you will suggest more things, I will draw them, and so on. I'm hoping that this kind of thing will spur me on to action, instead of lazing around as I currently am.
Incidently, that first picture now applies to you all. Draw yourselves! Now!

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
Aye aye!
Spoiler
Hmm, eye sockets are a little too big and close together, the jaw bones could stand to be higher, and once again I think I've drawn it too narrow.
Otherwise, quite happy with it.
More drawing suggestions welcome!

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
Why would you ever draw in that position? It does look very uncomfortable.
Also, weird Japanese terms I don't understand. Google to the rescue!

Day 89:
Did an avatar for the avatar thread. Was lazy though, so I didn't sharpen my corners and only quickly did the shield and sword. Luckily all that should disappear when it shrinks down. (Also got some weird white outline when I changed it into a png).Time: Two hoursSpoiler

Flatness is something I have always had trouble with, so yeah, I agree.
Those painted versions of Elan and Haley are weird. The characters just don't look right without their round cartoony heads to me.

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
Thanks. I think I'll try some skulls tomorrow, working on the basic shapes, as you say.
Hmmm... We should all participate in this I think. For now I suggest... hm... draw a galloping horse!*
Spoiler
Based on:
Today I have learned:
Horses are very buff in the chest.
Horses have skinny legs.
I have difficulty drawing those legs. I think I got the positions about right in the end, but getting the shape and general thickness is very tough.
Not a bad first try, though I think I'll give this another go soon. Perhaps tomorrow, after the skulls.
*pics and doodles*
http://www.ctrlpaint.com/ is like a dream come true: video lessons and structured learning!
Recent posts: Advanced masking techniques.
Spoiler
I think I've improved a bit since I started posting in this thread over four months ago (back when there was lots of activity!), and I could attribute that partly to it, so yeah!
Better than mine! Good job!

Moar Skullz!
Spoiler
Meh. They're okay. More focused on the general shape this time, but could still use some work.
Didn't leave myself much time to do another try at a horse. Spent most of the day playing Pokemon Conquest.
Watched a few of those videos on Ctrl+Paint. Very interesting stuff. I'll have to try another full colour drawing soon so I can test stuff out.

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
The proportions are still a bit off, mainly on the front facing one, the unevenness of the singe lines is distracting to me. I think that correcting the asymmetries (esp. in the cranium, jaw, teeth and eye sockets) would do a lot to improve the general look. The side one looks a lot better, though you didn't follow your outline very well for the front of the teeth/chin, thus giving it a large underbite.
