Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
I agree with Madcrafter that it is nice!
Nit pick and suggestion:
For the highlights on the metal bits, have you considered using harder highlights, less air brushyness-type effect? You know, like how you did the white highlights on the eyes? Generally, the shinging things like eyes, wet things and shiny metal look better with harder highlights and a sharper contrast between the dark and light bits. Of course, all this is just a suggestion.
The story of my life.
I didn't bind it, but I have had to change my sleeping position to keep my right arm relatively straight and my elbow at rest. Granted, I might as the sleeping position is different enough that I tend to roll around in the night.
SpoilerThe funny thing about the nerve injury was that for a while I was afraid it was something wrong with my carpal tunnel as the bottom of my right hand had was numb. I rested my wrists and hands but the sensation didn't go away. After a doctor visit turns out I must have hit my lower elbow at sometime as the doctor told me the nerve was injured there even though it felt fine besides a small prickly pain when a small spot on the nerve was poked.
After starting to rest my upper elbow (which felt fine) feeling started to return to my hand.
The whole event left me feeling extraordinary silly. Oh ye nerve problems.
It does look nice, now I want to see the print...
C-9, or "I colored something. Mission Accomplished."
SpoilerI tried to give myself 1 hour to color a doodle. This is the result. It isn't that good.
Spoiler
Link
More ponies in space, smuggling spice. Carrying crates, shooting guns. Scoot isn't going to shoot anyone like that and Applebloom is feeling guilty about unknowingly taking the safe caring position from Sweetie Belle. The colors are blargh, but I picked them with little second thoughts. The line work could be a lot cleaner too. And perhaps some different colors and not boring grey. Ok, there's a lot of things wrong with this doodle. Next time I guess.
Oh yes, and the tails are indeed, tacked on as a after thought.Last edited by Bakuel; 2012-11-15 at 01:04 AM.

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
Wow that is worse than mine. The outside of my arm about halfway each direction from the elbow is sensitive, but the worst I get in my hand is prickling and burning sensations on the outside edge/fingers.
Luckily I took a picture of it since I liked it. It was still crooked when I used it as a reference.Spoiler
Sweetie is cringing wonderfully, expecting a laser bolt to the back any second, and Applebloom's expression is great as well. I agree on the colours in terms of variety, but overall I don't think it looks so bad. The tails could have been integrated a little better, but at least you didn't forget them. I'm sure the empire'd love it if all spice smugglers dressed the same.

Yes indeed!
Not that Tec isn't cute too, of course.
Anyway, today's 30 minute challenge (which, as before, was actually 60 minutes. That tumblr is badly named) was AJ + The Mayor interacting, so here's AJ getting an award for some reason.

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
Very nice! Thanks for sharing!
*saved for later inspiration*
You know, after reading your comment and stopping to think about it, I actually don't know why the CMC smugglers are dressed the same. If they are teamed with AJ and Rarity especially. While AJ would be lazy enough to just buy dozens of the same generic outfit, one would think Rarity would never stand for it. I need to sit down and try to think up alternate clothing.
C-10 and C-11, or "Color? What color?"
SpoilerDidn't feel like coloring today, so I just drew instead! It's relaxing to just doodle instead of coloring. I'll color them later. Probably.

The lines are better then the last one, but I took longer on it so it doesn't really count as improvement. That line were her snout is is just to remind me were to shade! That's not a pig snout or anything!

Another
3060 minute art challenge. Done in 45 minutes because I had to break for dinner.
Based on the latest episode of pony, so kind of spoilers.
Spoiler
I accidently did this at a lower resolution that normal, so that's why the lines look thicker than what I normally do.
I forgot the tails on the upper Pinkies. :/
But other than that I'm quite happy.

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
It's just supposed to be Ponyville with a one point perspective on the moon and the horizon line as a circle. Lazy, because Scoot's isn't really apart of the perspective...
Will probably "Lower" the horizon line (Or enlarge the ground circle line(if that makes sense)), to put more sky in the picture and less ground as I am not too sure what I can do with the ground to make it less boring. But the night sky is always easy to make interesting.
Wow. I must say, that is your best drawing yet. The shading is great. Especially those pipes/tubes for the breathing apparatus. Hats off to you.
The bottom middle one looks happy despite it all! Is it a case of grin and bare it or has she found true peace in her position in life.
Anyway, nice!
Spoil the spoilers I guess,
SpoilerI can't help but feel sorry for the clone pinkies. So what they're annoying soulless magical clones, they had a right to exist too! Couldn't they like, start a pinkie nature sanctuary to put them all or something?
Question, have you considered putting some white highlights in your ponies' eyes? I know you are doing the speed draw but the highlights would probably only take a minute or so to add and it would give the black part of the eyes more substance.

The actually mental shenanigans which led to this were odd to say the least. I went with autumn wreaths since leaf hair was already done by Diego Havoc. If I had been thinking I would have interwoven the branches with the mane and tail. OH WELL.
A rushed color job to finish a rushed doodle. The coloring still took about one hour and thirty minutes.
I left the lineart on a separate layer for this one as like I did with the CMC picture, as opposed to the ones from before where I merged all the layers after I was finished with the base colors, then added shading and other such things. Not too sure if it is better or not. I guess the other way makes a softer image, like with the dryad, squirrel and Twi and Dash pic. Maybe I'm thinking too much about this.

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
Thanks. Interesting, because I think the tubes were the worst (and hardest) part. The original is a really good reference image for the shading, very clear and a large amount of contrast over the whole thing.

I did them on yesterday's challenge though. Draw a pony (excluding mane 6, princesses or Spike) with a pet.

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
The tiny monkey is cute though, I see no reason why he should be larger. Maybe the pony is just a giant. Head region looks a little flat in some places though, I don't know if you are drawing with shapes or not (they really do help). But that monkey... genetic engineering go! Make us more tiny monkeys. They are probably really useful too, if you could train one.

Oooo, shiny new person. Hello shiny new person! Welcome to the pony drawthread. Provided I haven't been a complete dunce and missed a previous post.
In any case, this is the full version of my avatar:
Spoiler
I'm pretty sure it counts as a drawing.
As for the drawing, nice, I like the vegitation especially. Only criticism I can come up with is the flags are very static, no way they would be propped like that without having sticks running through the top (and the fact they are in different directions). It could of course be intentional in the style, I don't know. Looks like background from one of those 2D indy games, with a runed turtle.

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
Been a while since I tried to draw anything pony-ish, but I've been on a roll lately with getting back into it. I decided to practice making ponyfaces facing forward instead of in profile or 3/4, and felt I did pretty good for previously having done rather bland :I faces.
Warning: kinda big
