[SFW] Artist's Group Chat

@Senpai Sven Pie  
I can. I can see things I want to draw on blank canvas.
 
@LightningBolt  
He’s adorable. It’s cool when drawing a new character to have more than one pose drawn consistently.
 
@Karadeg_(Rarity_Lover)  
This is badass. I like the coloring techniques.

@Beth  
oh thanks owo  
I always wanted to make Yugi Judai and Yusei together uwu
 
But after, I’ll be back on mlp uwu maybe some g5 drawing :o

NOW I’ve drawn something MLP based…the cutie mark of one of my three favorite ponies.
 

@Galeem Crusher  
hmmm RARITYYYYYYYYY! ^

Sorry about the lines, I’m not yet at the point at owning a portable drawing tablet.

@Galeem Crusher  
don’t worry, look my drawings, I’m always on paper x) I’m very poor for buying a tablet (and I’m no a big fan of digi ;w;)

Maybe I should consider getting markers for the background.

@Galeem Crusher  
Why not :)

When you eat a “weird piece of candy” and now you’re twice your size and with cat ears :P  

@Badumsquish  
like in “Bowser’s fury” right? x)

I stop here for tonight :)  

Should have go to bed instead of doing this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  

@Panko Pai  
Drawing is in our blood!

HII  

Is the best way to improve to just keep drawing? What do you guys think?

@Senpai Sven Pie  
YEAH! I try hard since I was a kid, I take 0 lesson so for me, yes ;w;

btw uwu  

@Senpai Sven Pie  
Don’t know about the best way and “keep drawing” is kinda hilariously vague… but it’s probably a good way, yeah.
 
Improving is about making the good better, making the bad less bad or even removing it and all that stuff. Or I assume that at least. So the real first step is to notice those flaws. Whether you’re actually capable of fixing them or not. (I’m pretty sure I couldn’t get shading anywhere near right even if I devoted my whole life to it.)
 
Different art styles also mean you need to realize what isn’t a flaw too. I guess. Never had my own style, always mimicked whatever cartoon I drew fanart of.
 
Can’t tell that say, the arms look off until you’ve drawn these arms (and maybe the rest of the body) after all.
 
As for finding the fix for what’s off, or even making something good even better, well. There’s obviously trial and error (if you don’t have the end result in your mind as you draw), redrawing the thing until it fits your plan (if you do) and references.
 
Show accurate style for me, so I’ve got hundreds of screencaps in my folders. And thousands of other pics for inspiration or references of things that aren’t in the show. Or just my previous drawings. But I’m kinda obsessed with 100% consistency.
 
Speaking of which. Another ‘realize/remove your flaws’ thing. Realized that perfectionism thing had become a liability rather than an asset not long ago. So I kicked it into the abyss and my 2,5 last uploads were completely vectored in one weekend instead of weeks spent kitbashing/tracing screencaps together for one picture in the name of 100% consistency with the show.
 
Not one headache, dozens of hours saved, better results I like better too. Win/win/win.
 
So yeah. Keeping drawing’s a good way to know what needs improving (or could be made even better if it was already good enough). Looking at other art and criticism from other people are the other two ways I can think of. And only the ‘get comments’ one is something you can’t do entirely on your own.
 
“Why not?” can also happen when you keep drawing. One day I decided to start coloring and highlighting my sketches, because “why not?” and I was curious how it’d look. And now I love the sketches in my folders even more.
 
@Karadeg_(Rarity_Lover)  
That’s ridiculously good.

@Roseluck  
euhh thanks x3  
It’s almost done btw :’)

 
I like drawing big crowds of monsters. Maybe I’ll try doing a crowd of old Universal monsters.

@Dex Stewart  
nice uwu

All lead to one outcome.  

@LightningBolt  
It’s so beautiful :o
