Description My OC nightshade as an adult, practicing with the crown I gave her. Celestia save us all.

OK. If you haven't noticed I am NOT consistent with the quality of my art.

Please, please, please tell me what I am doing wrong! Be super critical. Imagine you are Trixie, or a canterlot pony. My last picture was not good (sorry Raven) and i need reasons why. I improved drastically once with just a few targeted comments from (Thank you again) but i need everyone's help if i want to get any better!

I also see you're using the same ear style as me. :3

blatantly stolen, i will admit. You are right about the arms; i realize now I made a mistake and combined her shoulders with them, making them appear longer. As for the tapering off of the arms... I'll see what happens. I want to create more definition on the muscles and joints, but you are right. It looks awkward.

Thank you! I will remember not to do it again!

Stolen? Naw, I don't see it that way! I found a reference of the ears myself and I loved it, so I started to draw similarly.

If you want to do the ears really well.. I'll sketch up something for you, show you how to make it 'detailed', and I'll point out the details.

Alright! but no rush, I'm mostly focusing on the body atm. Thanks!

[link] There you go. If you need help shading, I'll do something as well.

thanks! that line following the curve bit is especially useful!

Konobi In reply to sharpieboss [2012-07-26 06:35:05 +0000 UTC]

Mhmm. I like that one a lot too. It fleshes everything out

Don't make my mistake and shade UNDER that line though.

I need to do that too. My body language is simply awful.

I think the arms might be a bit long.. And looking at his forearm.. I don't think it quite fits to have the forearm so thin versus the hoof. The MLP style usually has it gradually become larger, and that fits for even more artistic styles. In this case, it simply looks kinda awkward.

But WOW, your perspective is spot on. I'm jealous!
