Description     Back again with a fresh painting to celebrate the Christmas season! ^^ I really love these two sweeties together. Such cuties

    I want to give a huge shout out to VanillaGhosties for guiding me through the process from line art to line-less as its still a huge struggle for me. Thank you for your guidance as it would not have came out the way it did.

    Perhaps the biggest thing I've learned through painting this is that art is not easy. Most of you, regardless of ability or where you're at, know that it's a never ending uphill fight to create something more impactful than the last. And when something doesn't work out immediately, you've got to push on through. If you put in only a little because you're afraid of failure, you won't ever see where that idea may go. Give it your best, let yourself fail, learn from your errors, but most importantly, be confident in knowing you gave it your all.

Although I don't know fully what I'm doing, here's a WIP xD



Time Taken: Roughly 10 hours
Programs: Photoshop CC 2017
Tablet: Wacom Bamboo CTH-670

OH MY GOSH THAT'S SO INCREDIBLE! 

You've done such an amazing job here, Lolip!! That's what I'd call of a marvelous Christmas gift for all of us I know I'm a little bit late to send you this, but I hope you've had a miraculous time together with your beloved ones and filled yourself with all the warmth of Love.  

Let's keep learning!

I wish you all the best

That'd be taking it too far in the literal sense xD idek if they'd be okay after spending a few days in a box!

I concur! I particularly love the sound of crunchy snow

Yeah, it's been a rough month. I'll try to get back on my feet once I've cleared everything up, hopefully I'll get back to drawing soon!

Aww sorry to hear that :/ I hope you're doing well! Don't feel pressured to do arts. I understand some things need time. It's always good to have time for yourself (:

I've been having a thought,, I might end up leaving this account and making two others - one for ponies and the other for mothcats/other things. I've noticed that because I started off as an MLP artist, I've been getting watchers who want to see pony art, and I feel really bad because I keep posting drawings that aren't related to ponies. I also feel like this account is really disorganized and my folders are all messed up, it'd be better if I started off fresh.

LolliponyArt In reply to violet241 [2017-12-20 09:17:27 +0000 UTC]

:/ I went through that phase as well with my pony and birds. At a point a posted non-pony arts for a few months and lost something like 20+ watchers. I really considered making another account, but the hassle of managing one was already too much. But you've got to realize this. Sure mothcats and ponies may not share many things in common, but it's your art style that makes it yours. People who watch you because they love your style is the kind of people you want to have by your side. Not some person who unwatched you because you stopped drawing ponies. Just give it a thought (: you've worked so hard to get where you are now!

No problem, glad I could provide a little help!
Looks like you're already making some good progress with lineless because this looks great! (Was fun to watch you stream some of it too)
Such a bubbly and cute piece, especially with those adorable outfits and expressions!
And I love the setting-- winter/Christmas time pictures are some of my favorite art to see, as well as make myself.

Also the description is very true. Stepping outside of the comfort zone is a really important step for artists to improve themselves. And you're doing a great job of it yourself :^)

Thank you so much, Vanilla! I was caught unexpectedly when you dropped by xD I'd really love to see you stream some cartoon pones sometime too. I can't wait to see some of your works!

Mhm. I hope I remember to do this often. I learned a lot from this piece! Thank you so much ^^

Can't say I am. Spending Christmas in the Caribbean, so I doubt I will be feeling festive much this year. What about you?

LolliponyArt In reply to OddishCrafts [2017-12-12 11:16:19 +0000 UTC]

Well, I guess Christmas in the Caribbean is pretty awesome in itself. Lucky you! We should trade places xD
Ehh. I try my best to be festive, but it never feels the same as when I was a kid. But I am at least trying xD

I think mine are too, so you're not the only one! XD Well then next time you can do it without the snow brush! If you really want to that is!

Woo! But I should at least try some other faces xD but maybe not mad pones. I like them happy ^^

In hindsight, maybe I'll stick to the custom brush xD

What did I say about the hoofprints?   
Just kidding: my gosh they look amazing!! I think what I love the most are the eyes (so big and cute ) and the little details (the out-of-focus snowflakes close to the camera, the snowy trees, those beautiful scarves...wait, scarfs...scarvs, maybe?...you got that ).
Wonderful job! Everything you do lately is a real masterpiece this deserves to be featured on EqD

Ohh I totally forgot! My bad XD heck, they should just be floating :3

Aww thank you so much, Lenny! ^^ I'm glad you like many things about it (: I've actually taken quite a liking towards painting scenery and landscapes. Maybe I'll play around with that in the future
Aww thanks again and surprise! It did xD if it was you, thanks for sending it! ^^

Ahaha don't worry After all, they're light, but maybe not THAT light (I guess the only one that could float like that would be... Featherweight DA PUNNNZZZ )
And no, it wasn't me, but I really appreciate it was sent, whoever did it! The artwork was simply asking to be featured
