Welcome friends, ITT:
We make and share pony art, with absolutely no pressure to deliver anything that's technically good (besides having ponies in it, which makes it good by default)
Make something, share what you've done, and give feedback and motivation to help us all keep improving and creating!
This thread's focus is art, but beginner or low effort content of any kind is welcome here. If you do want to post about something else like music, gamedev, or crafts, though, just note that you may find better help and feedback posting it in the /create/ thread
Are you an experienced artist? Leave some tips, feedback, guides, or tutorials, they're well appreciated here!

Ok, I might have picked the easiest path by drawing this perspective, but I tried to have in mind the small snout idea here, I am satisfied with the end result, however I've noticed I might be drawing my ponies too slim and neck too tall.

>>43188321
i do other perspectives sometimes, frankly i just think i hit a cognitive limit a long time ago and no amount of effort can overcome it, adhd is a true disease that needs to be cured
>>
>>43188386
yeah that'll do it, if you want to make more progress its gonna take higher volume on top of what >>43188321 recommended.
I did daily draws for my first year of drawing and made a fuck ton of progress that way. then near daily draws the 2nd year as well, I slowed down recently though. went from this https://derpibooru.org/images/3197656?q=artist%3Ascandianon to this https://derpibooru.org/images/35211 70?q=artist%3Ascandianon in about a year and a half roughly. remember to experiment too cause trying new shit out and stepping out of your comfort zone is important for growing.

That's more or less how my art journey is feeling as well.
But in my case, I know it's because I'm lazy and comfortable, and don't put much active effort into learning. So I try not to beat myself up too much over it, like >>43188148 implies.
I'm more angry at myself for all the fun idea sketches that I never get back to finishing.

It really is a strong curse.
Anyway, here's Applejack.

>>43188477
I've tried, it doesn't work for me. adhd makes it impossible to function, I've nearly had aneurysms before at my desk trying to make my hands move without success, I need a cure for it to stand even a chance at improving.
>>43188495
I've made one months worth of progress over the course of 12 years, its pathetic.

Bumping with a changeling who just couldn't shoulder all the work and responsibility that came with an Applejack disguise; realizing that dropping the act and being honest is less frightening than walking another day in the farm mare's hooves.

Used the Random Pony site to get a mare to draw.
As it turns out, Minty Bubblegum is just a Lyra reskin.

Saw the wizard mare in the updated credits section of the mare fair website and decided to draw her. She didn't seem to have a visible cuite mark so I just cheaped out and gave her a small Leo constellation for one to match the observatory theming.

He's such a cutie! I can never get enough of his stocking leg markings.
I dig the Lyrapants and other cursed artifacts he has in the back.
>>43194150
What a forward mare! Poor anon's boner went straight to his head!
She'd better hope Trixie doesn't see her, or Trixie is gonna be mad that she's trying to steal Trixie's style!

I wanted to draw in Unimaginable Consequences' style, so I made this Minuette gif.
It was supposed to be a quick doodle, but I got carried away and ended up spending quite a while on it.
