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

Hehe... After I've thought about it, Im not too comfortable doing it. So many friends. What if some people get something and others don't? Last I want to do is show favouritism :/

Oh my gosh, I can so totally understand you! I've been drawing gifts since late November and yet I had to give up recently and admit I can't draw something for everyone There are just too many people I care about here on the site, I find it terrible having to leave some of them out, but I have no other choice
So in the end I decided to draw something for: people who have given me a gift (to return the favour) and the people I still haven't drawn anything for, despite them being very nice to me
I plan to draw something for everyone else when I have some more freetime, maybe I could draw a gift or two each month ^^ the best thing would probably be drawing a headshot collection like the one featuring your cute little Daffodil Skies, only bigger and with more ponez
(More ponez is the answer to any problem
)
Also, Merry Christmas in advance Lolli!

So what's gonna happen with all those leftover drawings? It'd be a shame for them to never see the light of day. And yes, perhaps the best way would be to do headshots. Id probably take forever doing limbs and all that! If you're concerned about showing favouritism, I'd just wait for the person's birthday and then draw something for them. But then again, you'd have to be a wizard at knowing everyone's date... Oh how complicated people are. Why can't I be a pony
Haha you too (: how was it?

Oh don't worry, I never leave a drawing unfinished It might take some time, but they'll all have their moment of glory, don't worry ^w^ And yeah, I can confirm my first drawing of 2018 is going to be another group headshot picture like the one where I drew your Daffy, just maybe with some a couple more OCs
Indeed! Why can't we be ponies??! It would be so much easier You'd have Pinkie reminding everypony's birthday for you and you wouldn't have to worry about baking any cakes: just leave that to the faboulous Mr. and Mrs. Cake
Eeehhh...it could have been better, I caught a flu right on Christmas Eve and I spent Xmas (and a few of the following days) either in bed or at my desk, because I was too afraid I might infect anyone of my family, so I kind of banished myself into my room But it was okay, I received a few really cool presents (that Fluttershy figure from FunKo I showed you, a set of thin-tipped markers, a pair of really warm slippers...) and, in the end, I was able to recover from my illness just in time for New Year's Eve (and at that point, PARTY HARD
).
How was your Xmas and New Year?

I'm glad to hear theyre not going to waste! That would a crime against art! I'm certainly looking forward to seeing this massive compilation. Nothing beats starting the year off with a bang!
Aww bummer :/ how selfless of you to hide yourself away! I'm just coughing around the house DX and markers, you say? Can I expect some fantastic artworks with those? (More so than they already are )
Much the same as yours except I got sick during New Years. It's stupid I'm still coughing!

I agree, I really hate throwing away anything I draw, even if it's just a doodle (I might in fact be even keeping some really cringy and bad drawings I did back in April 2017 when I started drawing ponies
I plan on submitting them next April Fools' Day describing them as "My finest art"
)
Aww, thank you for the compliment Yeah, I'd love to try and experiment a bit with them (as soon as I learn how to use them properly, that is
). I believe they could be pretty useful to draw ponies' outlines ^w^
Noo, poor you! I hope you're feeling better now

I'd be very inclined to see those I think its a good habit to have to never toss your art. it serves as a reminder and a reference for how much you've progressed since you first started!
Here's my first pony Flutters1
Can't wait to see them on April 1st! I've got my own little joke cooking
Just mess around as much as possible and you'll find the ropes real quick!

LennyStendhal13 In reply to LolliponyArt [2018-01-15 21:56:30 +0000 UTC]
I totally agree ^w^
Aww, that Flutters is really cute in her simplicity I'm a bit surprised, she looks a lot like my very first drawings, but on second thought it's obvious it is so: I think we all started by sort of "copying" the show's style and references
My very first drawing, though, was a Twilight I had drawn without references, and I somehow managed to make the proportion look ok
I must upload it here one day, I think it would be cool to show you guys the drawing that started it all ^^
(after that Twily I spent three months copying vectors )
Oh and I look forward to you joke for April Fools'! That day is going to be good

I wouldn't be surprised if we copied the exact same reference XD I started doing the same as well. I copied show vectors for like a year before I even dared doing some poses from imagination. I only drew like once a month though, cuz I hid everything and rarely got time by myself XD
You should totally post them up! Maybe a big compilation in a journal entry, even! I know I'm not the only one who would be interested to see them!

LennyStendhal13 In reply to LolliponyArt [2018-02-08 12:24:19 +0000 UTC]
Highly likely, expecially if you too typed in the Google search bar a simple "Fluttershy vector" and then picked the one that looked the easiest to reproduce on paper I personally find it a really good way to start to get familiar with pony proportions, limbs, manes and everything: it has been a good training for me
Hehe, I was lucky enough to have a lot of time alone when I started, so I managed to draw one or two a week
I did hide everything too, though
Thanks for the tip! I was thinking of submitting them as individual deviations, but the idea of a journal is more original, it definitely intrigues me

HAHA So true. It's one of the first hits too! And for sure, you need to have a reference to better develop the skill. Although, starting out, I wasn't really focused on getting good, but more just draw cuz I needed to vent some creativity. And then kinda discovered I liked to draw!
No problem (: Either way, it'll be awesome to see!

Hehe, well you know what, I kind of started the same way my first ever drawing of this kind was done during a boring afternoon, I had this box of pencils I had bought I don't know how long ago, and I said "why not?". And then I was like "hey, wait: this is actually really cool!
". And thus everything started lol

Pretty much the same XD Except I did dabble a bit back a few years ago in middle school.
Ahh such good days. I wish I started earlier!

Gosh, I had so much more free time in high school compared to now :\ I could've used it for something more productive than playing videogames and trying (and failing) to get in shape

No use lamenting it now. Just gotta keep doing it! Don't worry about the excersize. I've accepted that "out-of-shape" is really just an organic shape. So technically speaking, I am in shape! XD

Hey, you know what? You darn right, my friend! We technically are in shape!
And in my opinion it's preferrable to be healthy rather than muscular
I mean... the best would be to be muscular AND in good health, but you can't have everything
So if I have to choose, I'd choose healthy all the time ^^

It's ingenious isn't it?
And same goes for me. I'm not much for the muscles, but moreso being lean and healthy.
