I think there is one in the drawfag document if you look around a little. But with these poses you want to really focus on the outline outside and the shading inside since working too much with lines inside can look a little wonky from my own experience

broke my 6 month record of no drawing by doodling my muse as a pony (warning for cock and balls)

any critique would be greatly appreciated! the legs are certainly a bit off, though i can't pinpoint why.

Nice cock (and balls)
My only comment is that the posterior part feels disconnected from the rest of the body but maybe I'm wrong.

Hey all good not the best artist here (I am >>43017305 ) so take my comment with a big grain of salt. Anyway I wanted to discuss about drawing smut while arousing because sometimes when I am on that state of mind have some lewd ideas that loose their steam after said moment and I've read somewhere that you cannot be horny while drawing porn to keep the quality. What's your (or anyone here) take on that suggestion?

https://files.catbox.moe/elg9cf.png this is how I would have personally done it to be honest, i tried to blend the edit in as seamlessly as humanly possible. I do prefer to give my ponies more show like asses but a little more plump and round shaped so keep that in mind. for the style of legs you draw what i did is I made them slightly less show styled and semi realistic in the hock. I'd recommend either studying the show to mimic the show style or studying artists who do legs in a stylized semi realistic way. the booty hole was a bit too big in relation to the ass so I shrunk it slightly, raised the cock and balls slightly to match the new ass height. edited the shoulder slightly too, and enlarged the dock. I'd personally recommend a bigger dock but that's more of a taste thing than anything. hope this helps
>>
>>43020167
oh wow that looks so much better! thank you so much for taking the time to do this, a visual representation is very useful!
i was a bit worried about making the ass too big but i see now it ended up being way too small and not round enough haha. i love what you did with the legs, i will keep that in mind!
>the booty hole was a bit too big in relation to the ass
noted... it was my first time drawing a ponut so i think i got a bit too excited there

>>43020043
>I've read somewhere that you cannot be horny while drawing porn to keep the quality. What's your (or anyone here) take on that suggestion?
i'm maybe not the best person to answer this question because i rarely ever draw and when i do, it is mainly for my own enjoyment, so i don't take it too seriously. but i think arousal to me is similar to feeling immensely inspired if not more powerful, same goes for writing too.
it's much more likely for me to finish creating something if im horny than when im looking at things critically and fussing over every detail, as a result my lines are usually more confident and quick because i just want it to be done so i can use it for it's intended purpose
i can't say whether the quality of your work will be better or worse, but for me it at least helps me be more productive even if i have to uh. take breaks
>>
>>43020277
hell yeah np brother. really as long as the ass isn't way bigger than the head or too disproportional to the body you're all good. I usually measure out my proportions using circles a rough measure with the head being the largest circle, followed by the ass, with the chest being the smallest to get a bean shape for pony bodies.
>>noted... it was my first time drawing a ponut so i think i got a bit too excited there
its all good, a lot of the people in the fandom tend to give ponies absolutely ginormous siege gun sized ponuts. part of the reason is personal taste and or for balance since its also popular to give ponies absolute monster dump truck asses.
I do hope I get to see you around more I like your style.

Thanks for the redline, Anon. It helped me realize some of the mistakes I made. I drew the head too big, and I didn't quite understand the hips. I'll try to remember to work on them when I draw a human again

It's funny how bicorn has gone from being a chimera style monster (of which, none of its composing parts were horse related) that eats husbands to two horned horse since its name is similar to unicorn. SMT does it too and makes it an evil, corrupting counterpart to the unicorn.
Speaking of, I made pony versions of a handful of SMT demons a while ago. Maybe I shoudl make ones for all of the horse-like ones

Nips drew a pone a few months ago (at least going off the booru timestamp) and felt inspired to give him a shot.
Not sure what his deal is but man is drawing with something in mind way easier then just rawdogging ideas. Which to be fair- having a reference usually makes things easier anyways.
https://derpibooru.org/images/3681955
Image I used for reference btw
The brush he uses for his stuff is honestly pretty great, I wish I could find it somewhere, it definitely seems to be something beyond default (and probably not even a krita brush)
The chalk brush I'm using is pretty fun though. I forgot how nice it drew after mostly using a few different ink brushes. Feels like consistency between brushes is a little awkward as some just don't click as better as others.

>>43031940
There are some things I feel 'decent' at but my cardinal sin has always been sticking to my comfort zone too much. Branching out and committing to actual poses and ideas that would take more effort than a cute mare standing around is something I'm still working on. God knows backgrounds are still something I need to just hunker down and learn properly, because mares deserve more than white voids and iffy furniture.

and a question: I keep using tiny 7.5px Basic-6 Details pen in Krita, and a heavily zoomed up canvas. Should I be using something else for this kind of pony doodles? I like the look and the way pen works (mostly; force vs opacity curve seems off, or is it just a size thing?), affecting single pixels is sorta neat, but I obviously don't know what I'm doing.

Yeah well kinda there was some marecock but for what I can think is a mix of being fetishy, having a slur and not the best talent on anatomy. Part of my interest to draw is really autistic and to portray some of my cringe kinks. At the same time instead of getting mad on them for not liking them or quit all together I see it like I see a room for improvement and have to learn deep inside myself that is gonna take time, effort and eat my own proudness to see my own mistakes.

Thanks for actually commenting my draw, I know is far from good but is one of the ideas it was floating around my mind and did it in like ten minutes. Now I remember long before being into ponies did a noodle cartoony OC so is something that I like, maybe because being a

Do you guys think this pose looks strange or makes a bad silhouette or something? I don't know if I'm being schizo or if her back leg looks funny.

nah I think it looks fine, its quite an energetic pose.

It's a pose that's further along the range of motion than one usually sees, which is very cool. I really like it.
As far as I can tell, it totally does make sense and is logical. But my brain did make me double take and ask where and how the lowermost section of her background-most leg emerged from at that angle; so maybe that's what you are feeling as well?
I can't even properly describe or put my finger on what I mean. I shoddily sketched it out and that looks fine to me as well.
And again: I really like the pose; It's very seductively splayed and energetic, like >>43061167 said.

And, speaking of the silhouette; I must admit that from seeing just the thumbnail I initially thought it was a seapony.

First effort at pony art. It's alright, but I have a few self-criticisms to begin with. I freehand all my drawings from reference pictures and used an ink pen so I couldn't backtrack if it's ass.

1. head proportions feel a bit too big
2. I feel like I'm not really emphasizing the pony enough in this drawing with a pose that's too human-like
3. I would like to make the pony's eyes, eyelashes, and face overall sleeker akin to the >>43061116

I will give it another shot, but I'm working on my game jam project right now
>>
>>43061116
I, personally, feel like the pose is exaggerated to the point of being somewhat awkward. If that was your intent, feel free to ignore my shitty ms paint edit. Also, I'm basing my edit on the fact that the faint line on her back is an important line.

https://litter.catbox.moe/okttn7ocikpm5ljb.png
>>
>>43061668

I appreciate the edit. It is supposed to be exaggerated. I'm not even sure what that faint line was lol, I think it was me erasing the back mane part and making it smaller.

I think the proportioning might be what's making you think it's awkward, her head seems a little larger in proportion to her body than normal but the pose itself is good

The game is confirmed to be getting official mod support and both Edmund and Tyler seem like the type that would provide documentation ln how to add in custom cat appearance assets so I don't doubt it'll be possible. Though I guess to stick with the pet theming I'd first want to see all the mane 6's pets added first (because I want to see Gummi be one of my roided out butchers that hits for over 30 damage multiple times per turn)

This sketch was sort of a "color test check" for an animation that fell to the wayside.
Candy Mane and Junebug have fairly similar coat tones, so I wanted to make sure they don't just completely blend into one another.
Color-wise, that is.
They are free to completely blend into one another in other ways, if they want to.

Hopefully I'm in the right thread for this...

Let's say, hypothetically, I'm making an horse dating sim visual novel thing. I would like to draw my little horsies in a way that they look... "normal"

I don't know, I feel like every time I try to draw my characters in a sort of front facing position, I just hate it. Anyone here know a pose that'd look natural for the visual novel aesthetic?
>>
>>43073678
can you show an example of your rendition of a front facing pose? those are tricky because of the big ass eyes and the need to imply a snoot
the pdf in the op has lots of different examples but standard standing, face in 3/4 would be a safe bet, just watch a couple of episodes and you can take lots of screenshots of those.
often when ponies talk to each other they will stand around and sometimes move one of their hooves up or down, sitting poses let you draw the ponies gesticulating and moving their forelegs in a more expressive way so I guess you could switch those around as to not bore the player with static, stiff ponies
I feel like mastering facial expressions would be the most important part and I suck at those so I can't really help you here

>The eyes are stylized similar to TinTin/Shinchan as a personal choice
>clothing will be added later

Anyway, I'm more of a writer in this. Doing everything by myself is a bit of a struggle so I thought I'd ask. Thanks.

Random Pone. I really struggle with shading hair.

>>43074149
What a couple of scallywags.
As long as I work in a medium where I can sketch and erase forever, I still do pretty well on traditional.
>>43074200
What a cutie!
I think it looks good! I really dig the brush lending texture to the hair!
I struggle with coming up with or adapting non-show manestyles, as well as giving manes proper volume. Even when sketching a mane from reference they tend to end up looking sort of flat and deflated.
And shading manedos is indeed a challenge, since they are a bunch of different shapes and volumes that are arranged in different depths and layers to each other, and are in some ways independent of the head shape while still having to consider and reflect the shape of the head beneath. A real headache.

Thanks! Yeah, going for more "realistic" shading is tough. I've been experimenting with a bunch of krita brushes to see if I can make the process easier, but not too much luck as of yet. I guess just need to keep practicing and not be afraid of it looking wrong.

>>43075068
the technical skill side of the image is very good and by that I mean the colors, line work, composition, etc, etc. but the anatomy is an absolute train wreck way too human and not pony enough. I'd recommend studying the show, or IRL horse anatomy, or the combo both, to get a good feel on anatomy and how their bodies move. the way you stylized the head and face is fine though but instead of doing a dot for her nose just do a line in its place.
