Sun and moon bless you, Leaf. Might work tomorrow on that EqG version of Syriana I had in mind...

Great idea, we should have a small art challenge. I'm thinking we take a reference image and all try to sketch it as best we can. Then we can compare the different styles of crap we fresh artists shit out. I think it would fun as a group of newfag drawfags, so no one person gets discouraged by their art not being very good. I know I suck at proportions, eyes, and especially hair right now.

Any suggestions on a simple reference image to start with, or thoughts about this idea?

>>50959
I like it. I'd say go with the classic Aryanne pic.

>>50955
my art boner has returned after about 2 months of complete flacidity but I still can't really into perspective. I'll see what I can do tomorrow I guess.

>>51003
Nice choice! I'll share the sketch when I finish it.

Here's something to entertain in the meantime. It made my sides go so far into hyperbolic orbit that it passed both Voyager probes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY9OxcRDohg

>>51003
>>51180

Update: this is all I had time for tonight. I'll fill it in and fix some of the proportions tomorrow. Any parts look glaringly off?

>>51202
front right leg looks a little small, but still much better than I could do.

>>51202
Well, it looks like a poner, so there's that.

>>51003
2 hours of ms paint autism later...
Well lads what do you think?
I'd give myself a 7/10 needs improvement on proportions and I'm not even going to rate the coloring.
Still first time ever drawing something pony related.

>>51226
10/10 for MSpaint, 8/10 otherwise. you did a great job.

>>51226
Your drawing is really good.
And doing that in MS Paint is way beyond 10/10.

>>51226

not bad. lines on the hair are a little squirmy, but ive seen much worse amateur art.

>>51202

her right arm is too thin compared to the other appendages, also could use more roundness to her lower face part and knees, lastly the ear could be a little bigger.

drawing is difficult anon. if you stick with it and study it, you will get better. heres a video from a semi-professional artist/animator with a basic video about drawing. consider a look.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkNeZDRuqWs

>>51234
Fixed because I can't sleep.

>>51244
pretty ok

>>51244

very nice, if you smooth up the back of he knee on the background leg and give it a transparent background, you are fit to make your own pictures Anon!

>>51253
>>51249
I've had enough of this for one night. I think I'll head to bed now.

>>51260

sleep well Anon. You did well.

Here's my shitty attempt from last night.

>>51284
>the true horseface
Magnum Opus, keep it up.

>>51284

I thinks its salvageable. put some more attention to the proportions of the legs and body, hair length and face placement. consider drawing a circle on the head for easier placements.

>>51284

remember, ponies are vegetable. beans to be exact.

I tried fixing it

>>51284
>>51301
Not bad anon. What I did after my initial sketch in >>51226 to clean her up was I moved over to paint.net and used the lines function. I made a new layer and then just traced over all the lines to smooth them out. I then made an all white layer afterwords and deleted my original picture's layer and filled everything that needed to be and ended up with >>51244.

Your proportions look much closer to the actual thing then mine I'm sure if you clean her up a little like I recommended she will look even better then my attempt.

Is a tablet a sufficient device to learn drawfaggotry on?

>>51502
There's been great artists who use Medibang. It's feasible, and most phones nowadays have a stylus. How big is your tablet? Sensitivity?

Although, never feel like a drawing tablet is out your price range. Drawing tablets are cheap.

>>51534
I haven't acquired either yet. Is a drawing tablet significantly better?

>>51579
Across the board, yes.

>>51579
Yes and no
If you are good on papper you will take some time to get used to the tablet and it may never feel the same as drawing on papper but you will still get some good results.
Outside of that drawing on tablet it's an excellent thing, you don't waste papper when drawing on a tablet and you have an unlimited supply of colors and tools.
Just don't fall for the burn tool shadows meme, it just looks bad.
Ah also be really careful when choosing, you need a sensitive tablet; a tablet with some good pressure sensitivity and some nice pixel depth.
Personally I used to draw with a Wacom bamboo and got some pretty results.

>>51582
Tks 4 info. Lots of models n such, but I should be able to manage.

>>51697
Just keep fucking around with the tools you have until you start having fun with one of them. Once you find something you enjoy, keep doing it and try to expand your horizons. I prefer to do one kind of project at a time to try out everything I'm capable of.
Also, if you're too new to create anything original (like me), just recolor/edit other existing pics as you try to produce good content for the site.
I've only been at this for a couple of weeks, but I'd say I've made at least a little bit of progress.

>>51700
Appreciated. My company has been running 6x10hr days/week for the past 3 months, and since we're (finally) starting to die down I'm looking to invest. I'm totally green at image edits, but I'm also autistic so I'm sure I'll get it squared.

>>51703
Company?

>>51829
Industrial. I practice ponies on the white-board when no one is watching.

>>51834
Oh, that's nice. Any works to show?

I'm trying to produce reaction images for RPing purposes, memes and development of /mlpol/ OCs. Can anyone point me to any free online engines for making .gifs that I could use to add effects to images I've produced (i.e. flashing, shaking, slideshows.. etc)?

>>51907
I would recommend Photoshop, I do all my stuff in Photoshop and the degree of freedom it gives you it's really something.
Also if you don't have the money just pirate it, you will just edit little ponies nothing serious.

>>51919
>just pirate it
Any tips? The last time I tried to pirate something, I fucked-up my computer...

>>51921
Well truly these are harder times for a pirate.
Just be careful where you get your files, I usually download from skydrow-cracked if he got the thing I want
If that doesn't work I just look around some torrent sites and shady sites.
It's all about being careful and having an antivirus just in case.

>>51922
Checked.
Thanks, m8.

>>51836
Nope. No one knows I'm a horsefucker, and my sketches aren't good enough that I'm gonna leave clues yet.

I need moar exploitable memes to edit for practice. Anybody got some? This board needs moar OC.

>>51970
I think I saw re-made actual pony-face big grin in here. Can't find it tho...

>>51970
We need more unique /mlpol/ content. I'd say the best way to do that is blend /mlp/ and /pol/ memes. Maybe a doom Discord for happenings?

I happened to come across this happy coincedence. If you are going to study any artist, study this one. He draws ponies like a science.

https://derpibooru.org/tags/artist-colon-aafh

>>52045

someone feel confident to make a Awoo Aryanne?

>>52047
>Maybe a doom Discord for happenings?
We already have a Happening pony: Happy Enning.

>>52074
I took the liberty of testing my tools by trying to crop two of those pics...

>>52057
I've modified a template pony vector into an awoo pony before

>>52235
SAVED

>>52235

that would work. Very cute too!

>>52057
We should have one for Mai

>>52050
this looks pretty incredible

>>51202
Version 2, might fill in color later. I left the swastika off for now since it's in the sketchbook I take with me places

>>52313
Can you replicate that style using another pose?

I've been thinking about issuing weekly drawing challenges here. Does anyone have recommendations on how or what to start with?

>>52360
We seem to have a lot of OCs without much art/content. Maybe pick some characters from the mascot thelread that is up, and see who can draw them the best?

I loved the Reckless thread, some great art got listed in there

>>52361
Alright, that sounds like a plan. I think we'll start with Reckless since you mentioned her. Can anyone redtext it in caps, so it's noticeable? Sketches are welcomed.

Yeah, I'd start with a particular OC. Possibly a particular OC in a certain context

>>52362
What do you mean by redtext?

>>52364
Some form of big, bold text that stands out. I thought we had redtext.

>>52359
Not sure yet; I relied heavily on eying the original to gauge the proportions and align the features properly. I might try tomorrow

>>52362
That sounds great. How will it work? Will you suggest a pose and we try to sketch it?

>>52375
The idea is simple. Just draw a picture of Reckless. Whether it be a short sketch or anything else, it will do. Of course inventiveness is welcomed.

But, if you anybody wants to try out a pose, I suggest one like is. If any help is needed, I will be there to redline.

>>52364
Redtext is the bolded text they have on 8ch.
Pic related (garbage quality, sorry).

>>52377
Oh yeah. I remember that now

>>52381
I think we ought to have had this conversation /qa/, but nonetheless we are having it here. I think before I have seen redtext being used. Most of which were by mods.

>>52388
Well, I went and searched, and I can find no examples of it being used either by users or staff. I don't think I've ever seen red text like what is available on 8chan here, though I think I might have seen something like it (in a dark brown color) in Admin edits. Those would likely be made through edits to the database rather than any sort of generally available function. And of course the ban message feature leaves a red text

>>52389
I thank you for the response nonetheless, Mr. Sentry.

>>52376
I'll have to try my hand at it tomorrow, sounds like a lot of fun!

>>52313
Nice keep up the good work can't wait to see it finished.

I found a post on pol the other day and it made me laugh so i did a thing

>>53792
kek

I've been getting pretty good at copy+paste edits. I'm getting to the point where I take vector-images of ponies and replace them with entirely different characters without the edit being noticeable or awkward.
No example, because I'm saving these edits for something else.

>>52046
>re-made actual pony-face big grin
Requesting this, if anyone has it.

Bump
/r/equesting moar exploitable image I can crop for memes.

I'm going to start bumping with horrible pictures if I sense that nobody else is committed to learning to produce OC/memes in this thread...
Did anybody else only start trying to learn to draw here?

>>56367
Can you teach me how to draw, senpai?

>>56371
If we can teach each other.

>>51836
Cuz I like u

>>56405
Cute.

>>56405
Nice fundamentals.

>>56405
This is really nice Anon

>>56408
>>56413
>>56414
Tks. I can never do more than prelim sketches cuz hiding power level (I erased that as soon as pic), so I've been working to improve perspective and consistency

>>56367
I've been making some attempts but I haven't liked anything I've been working on enough to post. I've been looking into the sorta wire frame pics my problem is I am having a problem visualizing what I want to draw. I'd like to make some more Fireaxe's since we don't have a lot of her but I don't know what pose to put her in or anything along those lines.

>>56428
find a reference that fits the pose you like

>>56428
>I'd like to make some more Fireaxe's since we don't have a lot of her but I don't know what pose to put her in or anything along those lines.
Draw some firefighter calendars, like the kinds that married women rub themselves off to.
It'd be nice to see the crew topless(even without bewbs) or with tank-tops, with all of their heavy gear and coats around their waists.
There's no shortage of firefighter poses on Jewgle (Some are basically just porn).

>>56428
Also, there's no shortage of ideas being thrown around in the OCs thread (that's what it's for, after all) >>51904 →

i drew a ponis

>>56439
That's pretty good, m8.

>>56439
Could use work on the proportions, but it's a fine draw.

This was meant to be a shitty drawing for a shitpost, but I ended up taking it somewhat seriously partway through.

>>57017
Pretty bold with the perspective there. You've certainly got the confidence and vision for it.
You could be pretty great at this, once you master the proportions.

>>57022
I based it generally off of this pose

Crotchteats! How do I draw them well?

>>57091
Seconding for information crucial to board culture.
I didn't check yet, but perhaps something could be found on Deviantart?
http://milky-way-fanclub.deviantart.com/

>>57095
I want to draw big, milky, fuckable crotchteats!

But not too big(See: Saggitha Slapp)

>>57095
They need to be a tad small, oval like, and a few centimetres separate from the vagina. I suggest looking at real life examples from horses, and judge from there. Type "horse teats".

>>57095
>>57091
>>57095
they are just out of reach. shame.

>>57101
>Type "horse teats"
the things that come up in everyday conversation on mlpol lmfao

But on the real let's learn how to draw them...f-for science of course

I tried to edit someone else's pic into Happy Enning. It didn't go so well, and I gave up halfway, but I thought I'd post it anyway.
Feel free to edit it if you'd like.

>>57182
A couple other versions. Mostly just fucking around with the filters.

>>57193
One moar..

>>57195
Ah. Thanks, m8.
I still suck at placing objects.

Bump

Second thing I've ever made thoughts? Anything I can do to improve?

>>57925
gAY

>>57925

Hmmmm…the torso seems quite massive for a female character compared to the legs. the overall picture looks blurry to me and the way the joints in the left frontleg bend looks like it has been broken. I see a lot of potential here though if you iron some of the anatomic flaws out.

>>57925
Fug! That looks awesome!

>>57939
Fireaxe is a bit of a beefy gal. She has to haul screaming faggots out of burning buildings every day.

>>57950
>>57925
While drawing a strong character always get a reference, it's important.
Some people don't want to use references ( I am one of these people) but believe me, it makes everything easier and it also teaches you how to draw right.

Another thing is, draw with your eyes, not your brain. When you see something let's say, an eye, we tend to make a circle and stick a ball inside it, because our brain interpretation of an eye is just a symbol.
Instead if we look at every line and detail of an eye and then draw it we can get to actually draw eyes that look real.

But thats just for learning, afther you learn how to draw well you can pretty much draw whatever and it will look good if you want it to do so.

>>57925
R8 my recolor.
How did I do?

>>57925
Can you show us another one of your drawings or a different pose you have drawn. I might be able to tell what some of your more formal faults.

>>58063
I won't tell you; u'll never know what I think of your recolor.

>>58106
I thought it was good.

>>53792
made me giggle

Hey I was wondering if anyone would know about the artfriend who drew the /mlpol/-tan story? In was in the same style of pic related and detailed /mlpol/-tan's journey through creation, deletion, and beyond. I lost touch after /qa/ got frozen and would hope he swung by here to complete his little story.

>>58134
Hello friend, yes, I am still making the thing. In fact, this is the thread that I've been in, so enjoy!
https://mlpol.net/mlpol/res/37804.html

>>58138
Hello yourself. Glad to see you're still around and kicking. How goes the propaganda?

>>58068
Like I said second time drawing something. I was trying to account for what I messed up last time so I think I over compensated.
>>51260
My last drawing. Sorry I change VPN's a lot.

>>57939
Thanks I'll took into it and iron it out for my next drawing. Also I messed up on size by making it a tinny pic. So I increased it size at the last second when I noticed how small it was which is why it looks blurry.

Posting something they may be related. This was my first time going a bit (too) realistic with the pony bits. How does it look?

>>58376
Looks gr8, m8.

>>58376
Nice one art leaf. I'd say make it a bit smoother looking and it'd be prefect.

Part 1/5

In this guide I will walk you through the typical process for drawing show accurate ponies at the ¾ perspective, which is the most important angle. I do not use a deviated style because every artist should start by learning the core techniques of observational drawing, and once comfortable, develop their own brand by themselves if they so choose.

Keep in mind this guide only applies to this specific ¾ view—just use common sense to make the proper adjustments with foreshortening when switching to a different angle. Also the beginning stages, known as construction drawing or mapping, are the most important so I go in depth with those.

I will refer to each step and describe the process.

1. Here is how I lay out my page on my tablet (I use adobe) when beginning a new drawing. If you are new to drawing a particular thing (as I am with MLP), you should always use as many references as you need. I choose a pose in my head, and flip through MLP episodes until I find positions that are close to that pose and screenshot them. Feel free to separate the required images of facial expressions/body poses as needed because there is a 99% chance the character will have the correct pose but not facial expression. You can Frankenstein them so that they portray the desired pose with the proper facial expression. This is why I have so many references.

***As a side note, I tend to use Rarity for facial expressions because her hair covers up her face the least out of all the MLP characters. ***

2. Obviously just make a circle for the head. The head is the only difficult part to draw so you might as well get that out of the way first.

3. I draw a spherical X to help guide where I place certain facial features and indicate the direction the pon is facing.

4. This is the most critical part of drawing the head and takes a lot of practice to get right. This changes drastically with every angle the horse faces, so it takes a lot of adjustment to get right at the specific pose you are going for. Draw a 3-dimensional snout starting roughly 1/16th down from the center of the head (always think of the head as divided into quadrants, then 8ths, then 16ths for reference). For the width of the snout, just eyeball it because the bridge of the nose (space in between the eyes) is roughly 1/6th of the head wide. I use the vertical line of the X guide to space the base of the nose evenly on each side

***the fore-bridge of the nose is a hair wider than the background bridge due to foreshortening, but only a minor detail and can be ignored unless you are obsessive***
The two lines signifying the top of the snout erect perpendicularly, and point slightly down. I usually find myself editing this step later on once I draw more of the head and am able to see how all the elements look relative to each other. The background corner of the snout is connected to the chin, which extends to the bottom of the head where the vertical X guideline meets the bottom. Take care to make this line perfectly round.

>>58380
It was made on the fly for a friend of mine, but I see your point. When I can, I'm going to clean it up.

5. Next, draw the ear and the back of the neck. The base of the ear starts slightly above the center line, about 1/16th and cuts inward because of the ¾ perspective. Remember that at the ¾ perspective the fore-ear isn’t perfectly at the edge of the circle, but somewhat angled towards you. Thus, you can see the back of the neck behind the ear. The neck actually cuts into the circle overlay a little bit to connect with the back of the ear, past its base. The ear itself is a little more than half a head tall, and its base is a little less than 1/8th of the head circle arc.

6. The eyes are the 2nd hardest part of drawing the head, and you should start by laying down these guides. Put 1 line equidistantly above and below the center. The head can be partitioned into 4 equal sections from top to bottom, and the top of the eye is 1/4th above the center, and the bottom of the eye is 1/4th bellow the center. Remember this is 3D, so the bottom line will appear that it is slightly closer to the middle than the top line, due to perspective—again, a minor note which is only necessary if you are overly concerned with accuracy.

***After drawing a few pons I realized that the bottom part of the eye actually ends a smidge lower than the lower 1/4th guide, although it’s difficult to see at the ¾ angle. This applies more so to frontal views so you can ignore this for the purposes of this guide. ***

It may be confusing laying down the guides at the ¾ angle but just eyeball it and it should turn out alright. Focus on where the vertical axis intercepts the horizontal. Also, note how the guides are at a slight diagonal angle ascending from left to right. This is because I drew those guide 2D instead of 3D (sorry for the confusion). Imagine them as ellipses and they would be perfectly parallel with the centerline.

7. Then just draw the ellipses for the eyes. At this angle the eyes are ever so slightly angling away from each other in a V shape (only slightly!!!). The fore-eye is a little less than half the head wide, while the background eye is much narrower due to the perspective and is foreshortened about 60%. I also added the front of the neck which I use the fore-eye as a reference, and it starts about in the middle of that.

8. Draw the mouth and the nostrils. The nostril will be just below the corner of the underlay box you drew for the snout.

9. The 3rd most important part of the head is actually the jaw, which I see most people get wrong. It is critical and requires a lot of eyeballing, and I even end up changing it one or two times in my sketch process. The reason I always start my sketches with drawing the mouth in its normal position is because this gives me a reference. The mouth being in the normal position means the jaw is not lowered, therefore it doesn’t extend past the original circle underlay of the head. In this pose, Natalie’s mouth is open, and her jaw will be extended. To illustrate this, you must draw her jaw at a lower position to compensate for her open mouth. Pick a point on her head where her jaw will hinge (right where her jawline ends on her neck, which ends exactly below the left side of the fore-eye) and lower the bottom part of her mouth from that point towards her lips.

Always use the distance between the bottom of the fore-eye to the top of the chin to reference how fat the chin is. The chin to the bottom of the eye is about twice as thin as the top of the eye to the top of the skull. You will notice how I shrink the chin fatness in step 14, compared to this step.

I also decided to draw the pupils in this step, just to help visualize how the pon is looking. They should roughly line up with the center line.

10. Then draw the inner ears which are parallel to the outer ears.

11. I added her facial features like a smiling snarl by just chipping away at the base I already laid out, lowering her eyelids in anger. Also added lashes.

12. Just further refined the eyelashes and small details.

13. Again refined details

14. Adjusted the chin because it looked a bit stalky and chubby. I made it closer to the bottom of the eye.

15. Now start the body by basically drawing a Venn-diagram for the butt and chest. The two body circles are about ½ the size of the head and always overlap each other. They chest should be situated slightly below the head so that there is room for the neck.

16. Connect the front of the neck from the head to be flush with the front of the chest. Connect the back of the neck to the back to be flush with the back of the chest. The back of the chest should be connected to the back of the butt with a slightly concave arched line. The front of the chest should connect to the front of the butt (they horse pussy) with a convex belly.

17. Just use references to start drawing appendages, which are easy. Both front and back legs are basically the length of the head, not the body. Include the hocks (joints in the back of the hind legs) in the rear legs which only show from the side, ¾, and rear perspectives. The legs always start out small where they connect to the butt or the chest, and taper out to be about twice as wide towards the hooves.

18. Draw the rest of the legs. I just used my reference.

***Notice how I put Rarity’s head on Rainbow Dash’s body in order to construct the Frankenstein pose reference I wanted. ***

19. Here, outline the sketch with a darker thicker line.

20. Add proper line weight to the graphic, with thicker lines on the outside, and thinner lines to highlight details.

21. Begin the hair, use a reference.

22. Sketch a gesture of the hair on a layer above the pon. Capture the flow of the hair and the positioning of the roots on the head.

23. Trace/outline the gesture.

24. Mostly outlined, but missing detail.

25. Finish required detail. Add visual weight to places missing it (added thickness to tail because it looked unbalanced), hair lines, color, and markings.

26. Just the accessory for holding, which the pose is designed for.

Holy shit thanks anon. I'll give the 3/4 perspective a go I guess.

http://flockmod.com/roomlist

If you are an aspiring artist, interested in art being made live or just want to practice drawing a little, consider taking a look at this.

You can join existing communities like Hentai or Flockpony or make your own rooms if you wish.

>>58480
Wow. Thanks, Anon.

Some new art for german pony uniform designs I found on DA today, Inspired by Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine. I figured You may find this useful for your own drawings or just as a regular sample for clothing.

The Kriegsmarine one has no pants or shoes, i am unsure if this was intentional or a mistake from the artist.

>>58480
At, we ought to start one of our own.

>>58959
this

>tfw just discovered that we have an oekaki
Say.. Could we have a weekly challenge, of some sort, where all users are encouraged to make a low-effort attempt at an assigned topic, regardless of how good they are? I think it could be fun.

>>58970
So…

>>59347
1st challenge: Draw this in less than an hour

>>59347
I'd be down but I would probably throw all my autism behind it. Call out a day and I'd might be able to do it dependent on work.

>>59359
I did this under one minute. Next challenge please.

>>59369
Hmmm… one minute seems very quick. Are you sure you're not lying?

Next challenge: 1.5 hours max

>>59359
Ten minutes is all I'm gonna give it this time..

>>59347
Why not Leslie fair playing video games?
>>59359
No. That's one of the worst emojis ever. Draw something pony related

>>59425
>Leslie fair playing video games?
could include:
>lighting
>sitting
>perspective
>Earth pony holding object
>room
>furniture
>OC
Sounds like a good challenge.
Here's what I could do for now, before I head off to work.

>>59432
You made that this morning? Damn. That's impressive

Not bad for Oekaki!

>>59421
This is really good anon. 10 minutes is also fast, although not faster than 1 minute. You passed the first stage. Onto 2 you go!

>>59421
Wait a minute I just realized this looks like it has been traced. Anon! Taking the easy way around something isn't how you get better!

>>59445
I used the oval tool.

>>59359
I fucked up the tears but well, 30 minutes + -

>>59452
Oh I see.

>>59454
The tears are a little big, but good!

I have to go to school now so I will check in later. On to stage two you both go!

>>59365
>I would probably throw all my autism
That's the point.

>>59373
15 minutes yay

>>59457
Thanks anon!

>>59474
Accurrate

>>59464
Good. Only thing you forgot is the watermark which I red lined for you here. You're on your way; keep it up!

Nice taste in music.

>>60406
Seemed fitting along with a few others. I can never decide on music for videos so I end up making 3 to 4 ones instead

We need to learn vectors. As I use GIMP for 95% of the rest of my image editing, I've gotten accustomed to the paths tool in it. I've found it easier for simple vectors than Inkscape.

Here's a tutorial for using some of the basic functions of the paths tool in GIMP:

This speedpaint illustrates the power of GIMP paths for a skilled user:

Attached is what I was working on earlier today in GIMP using the vector paths tool. The pone gf template was too small and pixulated, so I zoomed it up and drew a vector over the body outline. The beauty of saving the vector instead of just a painted edit (the proper term is a raster image) is this: you can scale the vector image up or down to any image size without losing definition and without pixulation.

If anyone wants to learn how to do this for basic pone vectors, slap me a (You). I'll post detailed pics of GIMP menus, options, and setings, as well as detail my personal techniques if need be.

Still waiting for the other anons to finish stage two of Oekaki exercise.

>>60678
What were those again?

>>60680
It's a tad hard to follow, but what I got from was the simple challenge of drawing a pony. Leslie related I believe as well.

>>60681
Whew. Way off. Pic related is stage two of challenge.

>>60682
Really thought that was just a meme desu.

>>60683
>nopony else ever stepped up to offer an art drawing challenge

Your lack of awareness and condescension is a meme, fam. Draw the fucking horse emoji; It's your obligation.

>>60690
>leaf
>senpai
What has become of this board? GRRRR

>>60668
finished the facial features

>>60693
w9w

>>60694
learn vectors with me, it's fun

>>60695
no thanks friendo I have better things to do

>>60697
>he doesn't want to learn how to draw so he can present his pony fantasies on paper
Anon, I am dissapointed.

>>60701
>vectors
>drawing
smh tbh fam

>>60702
vectors allow for much easier manipulations later, whether it's to change the character or to alter it for memes

>>60702
Vectors are still drawing. There are plenty of vector drawing programs.
It's just not nearly as accurate with strokes as raster.

>>60705
You don't draw using vector lines. You trace vector lines over a raster image to make it scale-able.

>>60707
You don't normally, no, but you still can if you want. Freeform exists.

It's not the same as normal drawing, and you won't actually learn to draw with it, but you can do it.

>>60682
>obligation
Pushy, aren't we. Kek, I don't even have an obligation, but I'll do it.
>>60690
Thanks, Anon-chan!
>>60697
But, it's your obligation! Eh?

>>60714
It's shit. You do not qualify to move to stage three.

>>59464
You, however, have displayed sufficient observational technique and mark making prowess. Time for you to move on to stage 3, the final boss (pic related).

>>60716
>it's shit
Now you really are memeing.

>>60718
Let me refer you to the >>59505 edit. Countless anons before you have completed this task, gone through peer review, and learned from their mistakes. You, being oblivious to anything that's related, have not only ignored the mistakes of other anons, but also the expectations set forth by the challenge issuer. Even with all of the previous examples provided you are still a day late and a dollar short.

Better luck next time.

>>60720
This is also me.

>>60721
I need to get blacker.

>>60722
Now to add the watermark.

>>60722
kekd and chekd

>>60724
That's quite the elegant piece anon.

>>60722
Topkek!

>>60719
So, what's the time limit 4 anons with jobs n lives n shit? I'm waiting for the weekend.

>>60740
However much time you're willing to invest: it's supposed to be fun.

>>60716
I can't okeaki on my phone so I used my note-book for now

>>60742
This is better!

>>60719

Nice picture! /)

>>60749

Very good!

>>60719

This picture has been requested to undergo Aryannefication.

>>60724
So you're black.

>>60741
2 hours max

>>60741
This is practice not fun and games

>>60742
Nice horse. Good to see a paper paper/pen user in 2017

>>60749
Nice detail (pic related)
