Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
This is good, but I think the colours are garish and those tiny, tiny hooves in the last frame are alternately hilarious and spooky.
I think the problem with the colours is too many full, bold, deep colours. Clashes. Take a close look at the actual show ponies - they're really pale shades of blue, purple, orange, green etc on their coats. The manes tend to have fuller colours. Tone down the purple and you'll get a gentler transition.

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
They were added on at the last second, probably why it looks off.
And finally, someone has been able to tell me WHY the character looks odd. I couldn't place my finger on it, and everyone I'd asked had given me nebulous, kind of not useful at all answers. I'll try it with a lighter purple; I'm pretty sure she'll look leagues better afterwards.
EDIT: Old vs. New. The outline feels off now, probably because I didn't change it, and may be operating on no sleep for 30some hours eheheh.Last edited by Derjuin; 2012-12-03 at 07:35 AM.

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
Glad to help. Been through a lot of pony designs myself and I've got a decent handle on what makes a good pony colour scheme.
See, that does look much better. I am slightly concerned about the mane but I think that could be fixed with just a different arrangement of the colours than changing the colours themselves. Try some different haircuts!

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
I would say the eyes are a bit off-putting, but that is pretty much because the reflections are not what is typically seen. And for some reason they remind me of spiders.

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
30 minute challenge. The version on the site is actually incomplete because I ran out of time (only had about 20 minutes of a possible 45) so this is a more up-to-date version. I won't call it complete, because I think I'll actually colour this one.

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
I once considered doing one of those expressions memes for the Ponithid. It didn't get anywhere and things have happened since.
Today I apparently decided to revisit the idea with Robo-Ponithid.
It's...going to take a while, it seems*. But man, oh man.

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
I will need to try one of those. Expressions is something I don't really do, and therefore am likely in need of practice drawing.

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
Well, so far I've gotten about twelve letters further in than I expected to.
Spoiler
Yeah, twelve letters in.
Quality varies, but the overall effect of a wall of Robo-Ponithid increasingly makes up for that, for me.

Those are great, though I think jealousy looks a little more like suspicion. Now you just have to do the rest .

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
Is... Is that a tentacle pony duckface? I have no words.
Also mushroom ponies is a great idea and you should do it right away!
Hey, I even have something(s) I'll put up when I get done at work.
Nothing wrong with that. It takes a very long time to get to the point of constructing things yourself. However, if that's your goal, I would plug this book. A friend of kpenguin's, who studies illustration and animation recommended it to me. It's focused on anatomy-as-form and constructive figure drawing and in my experience so far it's had some great suggestions and guides.

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
It was SUCH a pallette cleanser after painting Miserable and Nervous Faces. You have no idea.
Perhaps, but it's close enough really. Especially as S is Serious, so I don't need to worry about making Suspicion sufficiently different.
It could be. Robo Ponithid could also be blowing raspberries or whistling. It's wonderfully multi-purpose!
Also, yeah. I was surprised to find no mushroom ponies on a cursory deviantart search, not one little hoofy myconid. I may just have a go.

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
Sure, can do.
They were all asking for suggestions and requests, so I just posted a bunch. I totally didn't expect people to set out to, like, complete the whole list. It's lead to some interesting sketches, though, so it's all good.

Re: Ponythread Learns to Draw! Together!
And suddenly, the thread moves quickly.
Higher contrast eh? I guess I could try it, though working in monochrome makes me want to sort of shy away. Plus it tends to smudge, which I do sometimes use to my advantage, but it can easily obscure details in the darker regions. (And I am always awed by the people who can draw so as to seem like reality, that jug is really well done).
