Theme: Draw my OC's.
I've drawn Alaude before as a dancing sprite, but this time I figured I'd draw him in an actual scene. I recently visited the zoo and decided it'd be cool to have a tibumeru at the aquarium. This one is a network of underwater glass tunnels that humans usually use, however Alaude decided to check it out on a holiday when no one was around. At least, that's my take on it.
Time: 3 hours
Program: Ms Paint
Tools: Line/curve tool, Pencil, paintbucket, and eraser too. (To prove that you don't need the newer version of paint to get this kind of effect)
Speedpaint: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjbO9H…
The only thing I don't like is that I was unable to simulate a glass effect on the aquarium walls. XD

Sparx, I've got a question. Have you ever tried using other paint programs?

Yep. I've tried Photoshop, Gimp, Paint.net and even Sai.
MS Paint is just simpler for me to use. Especially the line too. I can't do line art properly on the other programs.

I see! I'm using paint right now as a matter of fact. I agree with you on the line art shenanigans. I either have a program that I have no clue how to use the line art tool on, or they just don't have in in general. Just to throw this in, your Werewolf Foxy was awesome!

Thanks!
He was originally going to be a simple anthro, but my anthro's always turn into ferocious creatures. But that kinda fits with the theme anyways. XD

Definitely!
The remix you used was spot on, too. I've listened to it about 18 times. No joke. You should post him on your page!

I listen to music on youtube while working so the time kind of flies by for me. Normally by the time I'm done I don't realize how long i've been drawing until I check out the clock.

You must be my mentor for MS.Paint PLEASE like seriously how do you do the aquarium like this so good in MS.Paint like how??
Sorry if I type so childish, I'm so amazed at this. Especially the time you take to draw, my arts take at least 5 hours but they look nothing compared to yours, you draw good and fast! XD

Thanks! And no, you don't sound childish at all.
I hope my speedpaints help for starters, so you can see the process I go through. I do have a few tutorials. The eye tutorial that I'm pretty sure you've already checked out, and this one from my old account.
(It covers realistic art styles in ms paint while adding simple backgrounds, but it's till useful. XD)
I need to make more tutorials.

Yes, I'm trying to do my best with eyes right now using your eye tutorial, but I'm going baby steps right now.
I don't think I'll be off drawing animals yet, since I don't have the ability to even drawing ponies correctly, I'm so bad when it comes to anatomy and I'm hoping to at least I prove my anatomy and expressions with humans first. ^^ but thanks for that tutorial too, I can use it for shading!

you helped a lot XD I have this crazy idea of drawing my favorite characters from different shows and I will have a nightmare drawing Discord lol.
Discord, you got any tips on how to draw him good?

mlpdarksparx In reply to Avarici0us [2014-06-25 01:13:28 +0000 UTC]
Omg I was literally considering drawing him soon. XD
I just watched a video on youtube about his voice actor trolling a brony fan and there was a screenshot of him sitting next to the coolest looking Discord lamp ever and now I want to draw him!
It'd be the first time I ever draw him, but I can only imagine how fun it'll be.

oh that would so cool! I'm posting a journal right now about the characters, wish me luck for it! XD
oh, can I have the link of the video? I need some laugh after the freaky "I had no internet for the entire afternoon today" day.

Here's the video about him trolling the brony.

And here's a whole video about John De Lancie which starts off at the end of the "Let's go and meet the bronies" song. It also has the video above as part of the whole thing.

The shot of him sitting next to the awesome Discord Lamp is at 6:22.
