MODS!!!

Is it wrong for me to internally judge someone when they seem to be making things for years yet they make next to no improvement in actually improving their skills and instead just staying way to comfortable in what they know, rather than actually putting any ounce of effort in improving?

Sorry if this comes off as rude but whenever I see someone in that way of being it just always makes me wonder why don't they just put at least a bit of effort in trying to improve rather that staying in what they view as good enough.

Breaking from the classical mouth-grip norm might be a hassle but, as you can see here, it can be done to good effect!
This technique also keeps ink and paint stains away from your mane!
>>43263073
Scandalous!
>>43263530
As one of those kind of people: No. I am also disappointed and angry about that aspect of myself. But just barely not enough to actually stop being lazily comfortable with the 'okay enough' level I'm at.
And I'm afraid I'm not analytical enough to answer a 'why?'. But it does seems to be my general mentality in all things and rears it's head in most aspects of my life, even beyond hobbies.

>>43263847
In regards to that one thing I'd suggest is asking people what they view as your weak suit and then putting effort at improving that. A lot of people passively say positive things as to not sound rude/hurt other's feelings, when sometimes you just need to put it out there as to what one needs in order to improve.
It may hurt one's feelings, but take those types of critiques as something to grow from.
Almost every time I've gotten that type of response even if I found it a bit rude, often times they were right and brought me to something I found significantly better than what I was pigeon holing myself into.

I love trying new perspectives. Flutters' hair can be kinda hard, though.

>>43263873
I'm actually quite aware of my weak points and have actively shelved several sketches for not having good enough know-how and/or execution of different art skills to complete the idea to my own standards. And I know what steps I could take to improve. The main issue is that I just don't bother to take those steps.
I think it's laziness and a dash of narcisism. Because despite being aware of how mediocre my stuff is, I am still quite proud of everything I do. Even quick doodles and shit.

But yes, having people to ask art stuff and honestly critique ones drawings would probably be positive despite all that!

Ooh! I saw this one over in the Lyra thread! So cute!
I love the way they are both leaning over the table for their own separate reasons. And I really like these kinds of "what BonBon sees in Lyra" images!
>>43264137
Very nice! I like the shape of all her legs, and the way her pieces are layered in a way that creates depth and really sells her angled-away body.
But yeah, I'd, maybe, add another strand of volume to the back of her mane-swoop there or something, to unite it with the neck mane and not disrupt the circle of her head.

>>43264159
Thank you for reminding me to do something for the Mare Gallery.
Also looks great anon.

>>43263530
For myself, I don't really care about "improving". I just like to draw silly pony things from time to time, not interested in ever being particularly good at it or whatever.

>>43264427
Based. Fuck assholes who need to turn art into a competition.

>>43263530
That means you, dickweed.

>>43264629
The thing I'm getting at is not the idea of making everything into a hostile competition, but rather where the trajectory people strive for is one where they can improve and look back on what they made they can be happy with how much they've improved. Its just the mindset of trying to improve rather than just stay in the land of stagnation. Its just nice being able to see people be happier with what they're able to accomplish by pushing themselves just that little bit more.

>>43264622

>>43264622
Would fuck Celestia

>>43263530
>Is it wrong for me to internally judge someone
I'd say so. There's a fetish artist in my fetish community who has drawn effectively the same since 2008. People have been bitching about her "not improving" since at least 2012. The art's not terrible, it just hasn't changed much in 15 years. And I don't care because they're at least drawing stuff and have been for over a decade. The ones who "try to improve" are almost always also the ones who crash and burn out after four years and nuke their account.

>>43264957
Might just be a different outlook on whats valued. Improving at one's craft should always be encouraged as opposed to leading someone astray to stagnate on the good enough and them never reaching their full potential.

Nothing wrong with being proud of your creations, Anon. It's just your laziness. There isn't really an easy way of combating that other than just doing it. Find some time to work on whatever you need to improve and then work on it. It'll get easier the more you do it.

Sometimes I say this and mean it. Sometimes it feels like a cope.

>>43263530
No, it's not wrong at all and I wouldn't listen to the people trying to shame you for your completely valid thoughts. People want to censor and beat anyone into submission who dares speak truths or opinions that might hurt their poor fee-fees, but I for one believe people should be a little less sensitive and accept that others can feel, and think, however they please. The ones feeling offended should look inward to why it offends them so much to begin with. With that said, I agree completely; stagnation isn't a good thing, and I don't really consider those people "true" artists, personally (again, this is a personal definition, no need to take offense). If someone has 10,000 drawings and they all look the same, they are not an artist to me, just somebody who likes to draw. Can people love their repetitive, consistent drawings? Of course! Can said drawings have lots of value? Of course! However, as you say, they do not put any ounce of effort into trying to grow or improve. I believe they become totally content with what they can do, they likely see they have consistent fans that always like their stuff anyway, and become satisfied with that. They do not put extra effort in, because that is simply too hard. Humans are very lazy creatures who can become content even in the most horrid of situations, after all. I do not understand it myself. I would never be satisfied with stagnation and simple consistency, and am always trying my best to improve like a madman. The urge to improve consumes me. I believe I have made great strides the last four years due to my obsessive effort, although it's non-pony so I don't think it's relevant to show here. I would also like to put efforts towards making my ponies look better. I don't think I'll ever get them to be as good as I can draw humanoids, but if I can improve their look then I would be very glad.
>>43264629
Hm, I don't think it's a competition. I only want to grow for my own personal reasons. I'm technically higher skilled than all of my friends, but I absolutely cherish their art and every picture they create because I love seeing the unique things they can make. And I love encouraging them to grow and trying to help them with anatomy, with how to draw with copics, how to make comics, or whatever else they need help with. It's not a competition, but instead a marathon we're all running together!

>>43266946
aj's eye lashes are a tad thick but I suppose that's an intentional stylistic choice? looks a bit incongruous with apple blooms since she had dead on show style lashes. did some tweaks and a lil redline, biggest issue is you seem to angle your snoots down quite considerably you should try to aim for an angle close to but not quite 90 degrees with in about 5-10 degree margin roughly speaking. gave bloom slightly thicker lashes to mirror an re-enforce what you were going with on AJ stylistically but not as thick under the assumption you're going for a more mascaraed look for your mares. tweaked the shape of the bottoms of the eyes slightly rounded and smoothed them out a bit, dropped AJ's freckles a bit to match the move. AJ's eyes could be bigger but that's because her head is a lil small in relation to her body, it isn't a deal breaker but something that should be noted, apple blooms eyes are bigger than her's because of that issue. line work thickness is fine overall along with line quality couldn't hurt to experiment with more variation in line pressure and thickness. overall you're on the right track keep on going! sorry for the novel kek.

When you lack the correct model, just do a texture swap on the closest looking one...

Needed a younger Sci-Twi, but there isn't a Source model for such (for understandable reasons), so I material-swapped Silver Spoon's model.

Very cute! May I suggest that when you use reference photos for painting backgrounds, you should try making your own colors instead of just pulling straight from the reference photo. The realistic photo colors kind of clash with pony.

>>43271855
It's not quite as pronounced in this one, but it was really noticeable in the fishie pond drawing from before. And I mean they ARE cartoons and you have a very cartoony style so it fits! Maybe you get so used to looking at the photo that other colors seem wrong or off.

I've been lazy as fuck too, but not busy at all. And that brand of procrastination is making me want to die as well! The Anti deadline just gets closer and closer.
At the very least I can still get myself to do shopping list doodles. They are fun and easy!

>>43280353
They look really good, anon. Your shading with the brush is very nice. And the trading-card-art look is great!
I really like the "mascara" lines that a bunch of Digimon eyes have, and the old-school veins on >>43276486 makes him look very authentic.
>>43280845
Already looking good, anon! And being committed to practicing is very admirable!

On whatever drawing software you guys use, do you use line and curve tools to do the outlines of your sketch or do you free-hand the outlines with the brush tool?

>>43281767
I've always used the arc tool and cleaned up with the eraser later to make my outlines

>>43280615
cute draw. I think you forgot your caard or whatever you're using for links though, I don't see anything on this post?

>>43281767
I use one circle tool for head and freehand everything else. My sketches are very noticeably sloppy because I'll pick the best arc when I ink it.

>>43281813
That's pretty similar to what I do too. I might try and do what >>43281796 does for my next drawing and see how that compares.

Felt like trying to do a ponified version of https://files.catbox.moe/sdx5vq.jpg . I couldn't really get the messiness or artifacting perfect, I didn't try to since I don't know how I would intentionally do that, but I think it was fun to do something different. Kind of felt harder than actually drawing normally.

>>43281767
I handdraw everything! Even at a very high resolution, it can be difficult but it's worth it in the end. I feel it gives a more natural look and also helps me improve much more than using tools. I have used lineart tools in CSP, Krita, Photoshop, etc for various works... I think CSP probably has the best lineart tools if I had to choose one, but I like handdrawing with Krita the most. Feels the most natural, like drawing with a pencil on paper.

>>43281656
hell yeah brother a good paying long term job with plenty of growth is worth it. I predominantly draw digitally via mouse, I'm a vector nigger and I use paint tool sai, so my trad skills are lacking. plus my fine motor control isn't that good to begin with and I don't draw trad enough to give a shit about grinding skill points in it.
>>43281767
I use sai i usually just set my brush to the size of the circle I wanna lay down so i can plop shit down with two button strokes, its quick and efficient I use the vector tools because it gives me dictatorial control over the end result and I like having tbeing able to do that.

>>43281767
I'm a neanderthal who doesn't sketch and instead manually forms the final image by editing vector points until it looks right. I'll start with a circle or square and then start deforming it from there.

I swapped to Krita in the middle of this one, it wasn't a good idea. I should have finished it on Gimp or restart all over, but anyway. Made the shadows at random.

>>43282357
You should update your Ko-Fi every so often with your draws and new animation stuff too.

>>43283567
Good suggestion, I kind have it forgotten because the site is mostly focused into getting revenue and don't feel anything I do is worth it but also need some cash.

>>43283481
Is the bottom Krita?
Whatever the case, bottom looks 10x better.
Also the stars in second column, 3rd & 4th row, have broken points.

>>43283655
Bottom is krita yes (plus some details on top), lines are smoother there because Gimp was laggy af and kept fucking up my lines (that's why I changed). Plus with Krita I can play with pen's presure (I've heard Gimp can do that too but I'm too much a brainlet to make it work apparently).
The flag is a bit fucked yeah, I cheated and picked a picture I then tried to fit using the warp transformation tool and played a bit with that.

Gimp is to edit and image manipulation
Krita for painting
Of course it's gonna be better

i only use ms paint, pencil tool and paint bucket mainly. i don't use line, curve or circle tools. all lines are made freehand with a mouse.
any mistakes are drawn over and deleted again and again until it looks right, which i guess counts as sketching
i don't recommend it since there are more efficient and better ways but it works for me at least. picrel is my method compiled for another thread

File: pythonpeek.png (19.3 KB)

i drew this one last week, hoping to maybe change over to krita or paint tool sai. been using paint.net since 2016, and as much as i like my pixel style i feel that the program might be too simple for more advanced stuff that i wanna try to get to in the future. might also be a skill issue

>>43285223
paint tool sai is good and has a clean ui, wich is the most important thing for an art program in my opinion
krita not much, it's really messy if you don't watch a tutorial first
but that's my experience

Anons, can I request?
I need show accurate bald pony busts and separate manes.
I have an idea for a captcha where you need to solve it by pairing up the bust with the mane to solve it.
Or should I try to extract it from the flash assets or something?
I found a pony creator, maybe I could extract a few from there, but it does not have enough mane styles and no presets (and limited color choices..), and a really annoying user interface.

Setting up non-pressure sensitive binary brushes is fairly easy (though I've only done so in SAI) so you can still keep doing paint-style pictures, but with all the additional advanced and Quality-Of-Life features!

Pretty Rara. And a horribly lewd and vulgar peepee. Good thing you censored it to spare our sensitive eyes!
>>43284450
I doubt I could draw anything like this myself, but I will give suggestions/guesses anyway.
That particular pose and the things it emphasizes are quite humano-centric, so the pony anatomy was bound to get tricky. That angle of the back legs is also a bit difficult since it tends to kind of blur together the different unguligrade leg segments. I'd try making a line emphasizing where the knee bend is, and displacing the "heel" a tad backwards to do the same.
And from my personal taste, I'd have tried to do the pose but with a wholly equine rump, bringing the "thighs" up and in into the butt, and eliminating the glute valley. But that might just smooth it all down into some kind of potato/bean look, and that's probably not what you had in mind.
I really dig your lines and style. The pooling of her mane is great, and I like the wings.
>>43284754
Nice! Seeing and also feeling improvement is a great feeling!
I also love drawing full-front ponies because they tend to easily turn out so very cute!
>>43284938
Digimane! Again: Love those eyes, and you're nailing the look. Fun pose too. I could easily see this being some rookie level mon!
If this is what you get without having to toil with linework, you should be proud! It looks great!

thanks anon, it will take time for what i want, but i can say that AT LEAST compared to other drawing i made, i'm not scare of painting with this one, wich it's a huge step foward for me honestly

I like the earwings

>>43285895
So I reduced some of her assects, and now she looks more like Fluttershy
Also I made the front hooves bigger to match her rear hooves
I tried drawing her wings tucked but they look a bit odd.
The head was left untouched, some correction around the eyes

File: More ass redline.png (456.6 KB)

>>43286684
Again: Personal opinion, but I really like it! Much more of a horsey wide-stance splay!
But, as I feared, it did kinda take a bit of the impact out of the Jack-o pose. There's not as much 'extreme spine arch' or 'all the lady parts angled vertically to the sky' as the pose usually evokes.
And it does feel like a bit of a shame to lose some of all that ass you'd drawn.

I pondered how one might add more meat back, but couldn't wrap my mind around any of it without sketching it out, so here's a rambling, unsolicited redline! I'm not good with anatomy, and didn't do much construction, so it probably doesn't make much logical sense.
I moved the tail back to imply a more aggressive angle of the rear, added (a bit much) back arch (And snuck in more belly too), pumped up the thighs, and with that widened the hip quite a bit too (Maybe even too much. The top left sketch probably does not correlate with how very wide apart the rear legs ended up on the main sketch, probably making it a bit more human again.)
One could even hint at docks and other under-the-tail things like this, if one wanted to. The moved tail is now a bit harder to deal with, since it would want to fall forward and obscure things. And having it fall behind the leg and head like in my suggestion means you can't see the pretty pooling of the hair that you do.
I also included one were I moved the head up and forward together with the ground, bringing her chest lower, to test if that fixes your concerns with the head and lanky proportions?
Note that these are all just my unskilled suggestions! I barely know what I'm doing.
Also also: When looking up the name of the pose just now, I stumbled over a Cold Blooded Twi image of Flutters in the same pose and angle. And all my redline turned out to basically be just: "copy this CBT image". Oops.

Go away TikTok foid

>>43286997
Damn that's a good fusion, the second version of my doodle looks very bean-shaped, but that's just how ponies are shaped in canon, you actually made a good redline making her thigs more plump without looking like the Sluttershy I drew on the first version of my sketch
Really good adjustment on the head and the right leg, definitly feels like an upgrade, and the arched back closer to the ground lends the drawing a more dynamic feeling
About the CBT "copy", nothing wrong using other's drawings as references, they can help you grasp some line prospective; and he actually draws some really good ponies... but the way he renders them, they look all so greasy as if they were dipped in oil, it's kinda odd.
As for this fluttershy, I drew it from zero, no fundamentals, nothing.
Maybe it's a sign that I can convey better the things in my head to the paper

Does pixel art use similar guidelines to traditional art? I'm a stylusless loser and want to draw cute mares
