Re: Ponycake art - new art 9/5/15

[ponycake]

the artwork that actually shows up for me is lovely!  i'm not sure if i like your humans or your ponies more!!

Aw thanks! Tumblr was a good place to host private images for a while, maybe I'll have to move it.    I'll fix the links later. But yay! I think most aren't too big a fan of the ponies as girls so it's nice to hear it's enjoyed. I enjoy drawing girls most.

Edit:  Fixed a bunch! Sadly it looks like Megan and Sundance is lost. I can't find where I uploaded her online and she's not in my art folder.

Doodooodooo. I forced myself to doodle yesterday and not worry about anatomy or anything (just so I'd do something).

That would be why she has that pointy as heck back leg!

I failed my mission to do another style of drawing and coloring though.

I'm gonna recolor her to Sweet Pop later.. she's just Locket again because I came across a beautiful auction image of Locket and wanted to draw her again.

There's no need for excuses, Locket is a pretty pony! Gosh, her hair is so luscious and glossy.

[ponycake]

I only drew her eyes once, I kind of liked the creepy eyes she has.

Thanks! Idk if I'm able to do anything but long flowy hair. I just love it. Actually some months ago I came across Godiva's logo and thought omg, that is exactly what I would design for my own company, down to the long flowing hair. Girl with long flowing hair and a horse!

They have another of a girl like this on a carousel horse. Love them. This graphic designer needs to be my friend.

Always love seeing your stuff

There's still a few broken links, but what does show up is lovely!

Did anyone save the Megan and Sundance image to their computer?

[ponycake]

Thank you Lisa and thank you Zelda. Sweet. I'm pretty insecure about my art. It's nice to hear that people like it.

I'll go ahead and post the latest progress pic of Quackers, I'm not sure at this point it will go further, but it is quite pretty where it left off I think!

This is illustrating her back card. Beneath her feet in the full view is a rainbow puddle and ducklings.

It's simply gorgeous, especially her hair. Nose is a bit pointy but otherwise, I love what you did here. Great work.

[Diamond]

Your humans are stunning, and your ponies are cute.  Hope you find some of that missing art.

That hair is BEAUTIFUL!! I want hair like that!!

[ponycake]

I noticed her nose after my first sketch and it is a bit odd. I sat there wondering if I should keep it or if I should change it when I inked over the sketch. Ultimately I decided to keep it, and actually took great care in keeping her nose exactly as it was over everything else. I'm not personally one for critiques, by the way. I know artists differ a lot in that. To me it comes off as rude (although I know some people don't see or mean it that way) and I'd appreciate if no one offered them unless asked. Thanks for your compliment though!

Thanks Diamond and Medley.

Painting practice lately. I'm happy I did two, one a day for each of my days off.

First I did Heart Throb for the Draw Together thread.

Tonight I was inspired by a beautiful auction picture of Galaxy on Ebay.

I'm totally new at painting and am pretty hard on myself when trying new mediums which actually puts me off beginning something new, and put me off painting for YEARS. But I've been good about being like "no just stop worrying and go do it and learn from it." And I'm pleasantly surprised it's not been as awful as I thought it would be.

Didn't get around to doing a realistic portrait of my friend at work who requested one. Hopefully my next day off.

[galaxystardust]

They are gorgeous! I love the Galaxy, but she's one of my favourite ponies so I might be biased

Are you going to do progress shots of the carousele you are busy painting, just out of interest?

[ponycake]

You're so sweet to me.

I've taken many shots, just haven't posted them. I need you on more social media accounts! Message me your FB and Snapchat and Twitter if you have them. hahaha

Painted a Gusty tonight. Kind of rushed it so I can move on to drawing a realistic portrait I promised someone.

Gustyyy! I really like the way you've done the shading, the yellowish tones are perfect for US Gusty.

This angle makes her look a bit sad though as you can't see her smile from here.

[MsMedley]

That Gusty is great! I like the way her tail swoops out, and the outline color you used on her body works really well.
