WHY NOT

A critique about these drawings would be greatly appreciated, or even some tips. Idk, I just want to know you guys' opinion on my bad art. Like wow have you seen my icon that's not bad das good...


Here's my ponysona. I often change my ponysonas, and this one's a DUDE!

This is a request I drew for someone on Google+. The lines are wobbly.

My vicious OC below!

And... ohhhh~ my personal favorite.

Excuse me while I go fangasm in the corner.


So yeah, an opinion or a critique would be nice ^^

Oh, very cool. The second one and the fourth ones are my favorite. I like your style

Very cool. I like the blue one too!

Just one thought. I would do a few drawings from a 3/4 perspective meaning instead of looking at a pony's profile or at their face dead straight, have them turned slightly to the side. It makes it more dynamic and seem more natural. Of course, profiles are cool too because they look bolder and more intense.

I like them all as well! I especially like the 3rd and fifth!

I must say that your current choice of ponysona is a pretty interesting design I like that he has a goatee and a bit of a knick in his ear.

You do have a lot of expressive pony faces, and having that diversity is good. When you feel comfortable enough, moving on to full body images might be a good next step.

Don't be afraid to study other artists. Not everyone will agree with this tip, but I found it useful when I was first getting into drawing. Sometimes tracing art is a good way to understand how a figure is put together.

Now I'm not saying trace everything you can find and only post that, or to only trace pieces forever. But doing it every once in awhile to understand how an artist constructed the figure isn't necessarily bad. Though those tracings should be kept as personal studies and not necessarily posted anywhere.

The other benefit of doing this is to help train yourself for cleaner lineart, since you mentioned one image had wobbly lines.

Also, do not be afraid to try to draw and ink traditionally. From my own experience, I find I just generally have more fluid control over a piece doing the inking by hand. Granted, working traditionally vs. digitally is a person by person basis. Find out what works best for you.

I think, most importantly though, is to have fun. Sometimes it isn't worth getting caught up in making a piece absolutely perfect. In time and with practice you'll pick up little things here and there that will refine your style. But you need to enjoy working on art to get all that practice in.

Overall though, it sounds like you're pretty pumped about what you're doing, which I find wonderful. The last piece in your post is definitely ambitious.

I can tell you use Chalk Pad for iPad too! Seriously, my lines come out AWFUL, and your art is more vibrant and beautiful than mine. Mine is horse poo

Your style is fun But I personally like pictures when I see them little bit "smaller" and the object don't fill the whole picture. Keep it going, practise makes us pro
