I am weirdly glad someone else does that first step the same way I do.

Beautiful.
The jump from 7 to 8 reminds me of the How to Draw an Owl picture
1) Draw a circle
2) DRAW THE REST OF THE F***ING OWL
lol

Aw, okay xD
See, I'm hoping to shift from a writer to some sort of odd artist/writer hybrid, but all I have are two carpy mice :/ Well, I'll just have to submit and get a tablet ^^ Again, great picture. Very cute, as well as your design~

A mouse is easy to use. Just become friends with your keyboard and your pen tool

ApocalypticDusk In reply to EllisArts [2011-08-01 03:56:09 +0000 UTC]
This mouse is on its last limb ;_; sensitive laser mixed with the fact its glitchy and the scroll wheel is always down makes it... nearly unusable.
But I shall persist!

Lol, you can always work by hand and scan.

Yeah, That's what I'm stuck with, and horrible work as a result ):
lol

Honestly, if you can't learn to work by hand, an expensive tablet wont make much of a difference.

Wow...That is dull, boring shading...Are you WANTING to make it look like a cheap, shitty low budget anime...Get better at art before you start to teach it. Also, self insert OCs are bad and you are bad for having one and flaunting it so much.

You sir are an ass, looked at your gallery it is meh, hers is better. MLP is all about OC ponies they even sell blank toys for you to customize. Oh I see your a 4chan person, never mind your assness is now explained.

Wow, you're a very negative person...Its really too bad you feel that way. Also please avoid curse words in the future.

If I was closer, I'd help you record a video. My camera can make videos.

Ive tried twice today to record my desktop. Both times the program corrupted the video. I gave up for now. Gonna buy a better program later.

That... looks pretty awesome, but unfortunately it is of no help to me. Still trying to grasp the basics, I wouldn't make it from step 1 to step 2 without several hours and lots of references. Oh, and also the pen tool to smooth out my lines because I don't have a steady hand.

EllisArts In reply to Chromadancer [2011-07-23 03:36:04 +0000 UTC]
Honestly you don't nead a steady hand...all those inks are from a fun tech that involves the eraser tool

Hah, I drew my own OC using this template and it came out rather nicely.
Super cute pony by the way.

Haha. My apoligies, I was a little tired and words weren't forming just right.
I used the steps that you outlined in the pic above to recreate my own version of the picture while a work. That's mostly what I meant to say.
