This is my second animation. This stuff makes me appreciate all the professionals out there that make it look effortless. This was significantly more difficult for me than the last one I did. The real challenge was cleaning and coloring. I started to notice things I didn't like, but it was so late in the process I couldn't change them easily. But it doesn't look too bad when you don't look at it too closely.

A very good day one, I'd say focus on you anatomy and you will be fine.

>>43114211
Good job, scootaloo is my second favorite pony. She is so sassy.
Feedback: keep learning anatomy and proportions. The body is way too long and the legs too short. The mane is too thin and doesn't look to have any volume. I think the right eye is positioned incorrectly, and doesn't look to be attached to her head. Her left leg is bent in a manner that is anatomically impossible.
As for improving, keep practicing. Draw a lot. Sometimes just repeat a drawing again and again. Study your favorite artist, see how they draw and try to mimic. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Also try to be more confident in your lines and avoid 'chicken-scratch' drawing. I struggle with this myself, but it'll make your drawings more intentional and build your skills. Using a mirror is also another good trick to see things that don't look right.

Don't let this discourage you. I hope you keep up on posting, I would love to see your progression :)

I never feel like I get snoots right either. And the show's flash rigs usually only snapping the muzzles from full front to full-profile doesn't make things any easier. So I can't help there.
Maybe hinting that the chest and rib cage are starting around the connecting point of the front legs would help with the neck feeling too long?

its a simple fix you just gotta give them a little more jaw, I'd also recommend tilting they eye slightly too. the eyes being straight up and down is more of a pone looking directly at you face forward thing and even then not completely. this is of course assuming you're taking inspo from the show.

Not to knock your effort but if you want to get good you'll have to do a lot more than a single drawing a day. Art school students need to do a thousand (yes, a thousand) sketches a week.

>>43118358
Nobody is saying you MUST draw thousands of sketches a day. Just that if you have free time to draw, use it to draw, and don't think "well I did my draw of the day, time to relax now". Getting competent at drawing IS hard work and you MUST force yourself from time to time (especially forcing yourself to get out of your comfort zone).

>>43120233
I agree with you generally, but in the very beginning I think it's better to take it slow until you naturally feel like pushing and doing more. Eventually, once you've got the habit of starting, it'll be automatic to go longer.

>>43120233
but what if dont want to do anything because i have depression

>>43120441
I agree with that attitude actually. You shouldn't overdo it, especially since you won't see a lot of return on your investment in the beginning and that would just lead to disappointment. Better to start slow and do it for fun on the side and when you see steady improvement in like a year ramp up your training.

>>43120450
Drawing cute mares will help cure your depression.

Or not, depends on how much you can cope with the knowledge that they will never be real.

I don’t use it, but derpibooru seems to have the largest audience.

>>43122456
derpi's jannies have a hate boner for random shit, so everyone ive seen talk about it doesnt recommend it. if you just wanna archive your work to let other people see it, no sense in going into the sharky waters when the others will work just as well

>>43122456
derpi does have the largest audience by a mile, most of the alt boorus scrape from it so it saves time since you don't gotta manually upload your shit to the alt boorus. the only real downside to the altboorus is that the majority of them have minuscule communities, and the mods themselves can be just as autistic/corrupt as the derpi ones sometimes. looking specifically at ponybooru and the controversy one of the mods there got into a few years ago.
>>43122470
generally speaking as long as you don't go out of your way to fuck with them or constantly fight with people they leave you be. political shit in general should be avoided on derpi regardless of what side you're on iit always starts shit in the comment section and gets downvoted to hell. so if you're one of those people who insists on being a political activist and constantly shoves politics into your pony shit, anywhere else that isn't derpi would be better for that kind of stuff.

>>43122526
I prefer small communities honestly. The bigger the community, the more retarded and tasteless.

>>43122541
a perfectly fine and respectable choice, out of all the altboorus ponerpics is definitely the most active followed up by twibooru, twibooru doesn't have commenting though if that matters to you. ponybooru is dead as fuck as is manebooru. you also have the choice of pone.social if you want a twitter like experience without the cancer of using twitter and a small community as well if you decide you don't want to use any booru.

>>43122526
I've seen a whole host of some very degenerative stuff they are willing to host, so I wonder where it is that derpibooru draws the line and gets controversy, unless it's like you said with political junk.
>>43122541
Same. I personally don't care to have an online presence so posting here is perfect for me.

>>43122700
generally on derpi and most of the alt boorus almost all fetishes and content are allowed. derpi does not allow lolicon though while twibooru and ponerpics do. race of course is also something that should generally be avoided but doesn't generate as much ass blasting as you might think unless you have a particularly polarizing take or people get the wrong message from your art. generally you're allowed to post whatever but obviously since the derpi community is so large and diverse you can absolutely expect some blowback on anything remotely controversial. what really seems to matter the most is how you interact with people and the mods though, if you go around fighting with people and the mods constantly and just generally stirring shit up you can expect to get banned. to date I've never had any trouble with any of the mods, I keep my interactions on the site mostly positive or as neutral as possible and don't get into flame wars with people so take that as you will.

If you are the same artist, you've improved a lot. Lineart looks clean and the shading looks good. Though I think you should do something different with the facial hair. It still looks odd. I think it's cause the mane and the beard merge seamlessly, but I'm not sure.

>>43126432
Thanks for the recommendation and I'm still on the process of how to figure out how how to deal with the facial hair and mane. Maybe a big influence from anime where spikes are prominent and an easy way to make an unique silhouette and also that I have beard myself. Also by using something not so common in OCs or even canon ponies is hard to find a reference to copy or learn from. Also because I don't consider myself good looking or handsome at all so I like the idea of making him somehow weird and an outcast at first sight.

I have never even attempted to draw a beard on a pony, so take what I have to say with a grain of salt. I don't even think I can describe to you why it looks strange to me, but I will try - hopefully other anon's will contribute.
I think it looks werid, to me at least, because the back of the mane connects directly with the beard. In reality, the beard doesn't connect with hair like that, and instead connects with the side of the ear. I looked through the boouru to find a beard similar to yours that I liked.

>>43126477
Okay now I feel like an idiot after seeing some bearded ponies having the facial hair next to the ear instead to behind. Gonna test how it looks, thanks for the help!

you got it all wrong dipshit. You were too retarded to read at one point in your life, and the correct effort brought you here.

The same goes for drawing in 3D, start with what you can mentally grasp. For example, if you draw two overlapping shapes, one of them is closer to the viewer than the other, that one overlaps. Very simple, but all projection is expanding on this idea.

>>43127949

I mean for this in no way to confront, contradict or condescend, but that blue figure is hard for me to read. Do the top and bottom connect or overlap? Is it supposed to be see through? The lighting seems all over the place, I can't make sense of it in my head. The other one looks fine, though.

that is somewhat on purpose, to illustrate the illusion of form. Every arangement in 2D is both at once until defined. Its like the hollow mask illusion which paradoxically autists do not fall for.

Is this snoot wierd!?
I never do proper construction and just add snoots by feel. And for some reason I always try for this halfway angle, that's in between the two flash ones in the show, so I have a hard time finding references.
Thus I draw snouts that I end up not being able to tell if they look okay or all wonky.

Any other aspects that need criticism are also welcome!

I'm a beginner myself, but I think it looks good. I would personally extend the chin to go tangent to the midline(the red line I drew), rather than curving it inward. Looks like a stallion so I made it more sharp. If it was a mare, I would make it more rounded.

>>43129896 >>43129946 >>43130026
Thanks. That soothes my worries about the snoot.
And >>43129946 advice about her chin are good. Helped me realize I had to round it more and change where the helmet's chin strap goes, to get it out of the way of the neck/chin merging point.
>>43129976
All those muscles look real good! All way above my knowledge, so I have little input.
Giving those two rounded, lowermost chest pectorals more love and attention like this is always a plus in my book.
Your bucking sketch with it's more balanced center of gravity is cool!
I'm sure AJ is throwing her whole weight like that cause she knows the tree will keep her up, and it's a more powerful line of motion for the animation, but yours is suited for both bucking trees and happy air kicksies as well!
>>43130014
Very nice!
Only thing I'd suggest it to maybe run more "o" mouth frames for the "gooning", to help one's mind sound it out a little easier. And if that makes her mouth look too static, you could try adding another O frame; maybe one where her mouth makes and even smaller o, for maximum "ooo".
Might be hard to fit though, since it looks like she shouts it out quite quickly.

I'm glad I could give some advice that helped. Like I said, you already made i look really good as is. As for placing the snout, and just the general proportions of the face, I've also have had this issue. I was just winging it and while sometimes I could get results I liked, I couldn't be consistent with it, so a few days ago I tried developing some sort of method. I personally like to give ponies a check and chin, a little different from the show, because I think it makes their faces have more volume. I think I have figured out what I like. This is really just for me so there is a lot of crappy drawings as I practiced. But I highlighted the ones I like.

And thank you for your suggestions. I've never animated mouth movements so I wanted to see if I could be lazy and get away with how typical anime does it. But I'll try your suggestion.

>>43129437
Show us the rest.

>>43130119
What a bunch of cuties!
That's some diligent stuff, anon. You should be proud. I really should stop being a lazy ass and do some training and studies at all.

Your animation does looks great as is! I'm just very biased towards looking for mouth flaps at the moment, since I just recently got done making another animation where I got carried away and matched my flaps with every single phoneme. My plan was for easier open/closed, semi-matched frames as well, but I fell into feature-creep, as usual.
It's over here if you wanna see: >>43118350 . And while the syncing turned out pretty good, that long sentence is actually only 5 different mouth shapes: "general open", "I/e", "o", one universal half-open tween frame and the closed one.
Also: the extra blinking in that one is entirely inspired by your cute "rocking anon-colt" gif.

Thanks Anons, I'm enjoying studies for once its so much nicer now that I'm not afraid of them lol. Do you guys have any suggestion on I guess indicating the forms in line art? like I can visualise the bulge of the thighs and shoulders but when I have to go over with the line art how can I give my pone depth/volume without adding too many anatomical details?

face is perfect anon. If in doubt, make the muzzle features smaller, most people accidentally make them too big or too high up on the face giving them a chin, but this is perfect.
Technically show accurate pony heads are slightly oval shaped, longer in the vertical direction, but it's a stylistic thing. Might be what's bothering you though.

Posting here for completion sake. In the future, I'll probably post these elsewhere.
I colored and shaded it, and also tried using different line colors rather than black. Even added some stupid motion lines. I think the smear frames on her arms could use some work, but I'm done. Further feedback is always wanted.
>>43130299
I tried your suggestion and I think that small change made the mouth movement look much better so thank you! And I have to say I feel pretty amazing that I inspired an aspect of yours :) I never heard of the character but I love her.

Like the other anon said, face looks really good. Her right eye kinda looks like it's not on the face, so my only suggestions would be to play with the eyes further.

Wonderful!
The stretching frames make the fast movements so bouncy and fun!
And the warm shading and colored lines makes her look all soft and cute!
You even put soft blending shade down by the "table", and a soft blush as well. It looks very good, and I'm jealous cause I'm always afraid of adding soft blending to my gifs, since all the colors in the transitions tend to ramp up the file-size real quick. Maybe I just need to start using the dithering option. Or a better program than CSP.

>>43132192
Incredibly cute! Would ask if she wants to be put together again.

>>43129871
I think you're being thrown off by the helmet since it naturally and unavoidably throws off the profile of the head. Only real thing I could say is that you could maybe stand to make the helmet a tiny bit larger

You should stop with colors for now and focus on shapes of the body, what pieces make up the legs/thighs/chest/thighs, use references, copy and trace other pieces with proportions you like until you learn them for yourself
Look at the resources at the top of the thread for poses to copy
Copying other pieces is the best way to learn as long as you are using good pieces with clear lines and not chicken scratch
Adding colors and backgrounds are things you should focus on once you get a good idea of shape and proportions, it will make you much happier once you start to see the improvement in your pieces yourself
Keep trying though anon you might be the only stallion artist I've seen consistently on bale, I'd be disappointed if you ever stopped after all the effort you've put forward

No one is too dumb to practice any form of art, It'll take effort but you can do it even if you are a sub 90 iq ape
You can go slow, just focusing on bodies, you can make a million headless bodies or body-less heads and you will improve as long as you keep drawing with a goal in mind and adjusting till you get it right

this might help. Elipses are the abstraction of a 2D circle viewed in perspective. It's made of two lines connected by curves, one short and one long.

The rule is that they are always true 90 degrees to each other and the difference in length determines the perspective tilt of the cirlce.


This can be used to model tubes by having the line of the center of the tube divded up into incriments seperated by elipses.

hopefully the pic is clear.

I just try to draw eyes that look good rather than looking accurate. The best example I can think of atm is how Toriyama drew eyes in DBZ. They were anatomically incorrect purposely to look good from whatever perspective the panel was, that's mainly why the 3d games struggle to translate the style

overall, when humans express emotions, they almost always turn their head in some way (turn away in disgust, turn up in shock, turn down in delight) that is one of the nuances that makes it feel real

They do look good. But like the other anon said; Scoots expression does not quite match the intensity of the other girls.
I'm gonna sling the same advice I always do and suggest to raise the corners of the mouth.
The mind says that an upward lip line makes happy smiles, but the cheeks and corners of the mouth are involved in almost all powerful emotions; The negative ones as well.
A disgusted mouth is a bit closer to a snarl than just a frown. This usually also makes the cheeks involve the eyes, but you already did give Scootaloo a lower eye squint, so that's all good.

Please excuse big autist examples drawn with a mouse, since my drawing pad just went and killed it's usp port.

>>43151479
Unfortunately you probably just have to learn how to use the system, drawing software is different but procreate has lots of useful tools that you just have to learn
Procreate has a circle tool that is helpful for drawing guides to pony proportions if you look at the bale tutorials
