Quoting cus of a new page for the forum has been created

So how do you think a Centaur lady would wear pants?
 

It is amazing.

I got a question?Is there a way to erase ink from a 8ball pen?I draw with pens and I made a mistake on Celestia hair,so is there a way to erase my mistake?

@Background Pony #E70D  
What like…ink from fountain pens? I use white-outs. I personally haven’t found another method. If you know a way, lemme knoe.

 
Not sure if I want this to get any more votes right now.
 
(43 up, 1 down- kinda fitting).
 
My other recent doodle was of Adagio Dazzle in Hatsune Miku’s outfit.
 

 
Should I add the honorary Dazzling to the set? (Sunset Shimmer).
 
….
 
Maybe.

 
Welp, shoot.

I spent so much time on the background of my newest drawing, that I figured I’d upload it as its own pic. So here’s Al’s bedroom.

Are you me? lmao  

@LightningBolt  
Haha, I figured this would get a reaction from you!
 
I think Al (my OC whose room this is) probably has similar music tastes to you, definitely. XD

@TheHappySpaceman  
I guess I’m predictable. :P
 
Good work tho, probably harder for you as you redraw stuff, I cheated with those posters.

@LightningBolt  
Thanks. I was super tempted to just copy/paste them into the image, particularly the MCR and Halestorm ones. (I probably could’ve gotten away with just doing that with the Nirvana poster, though, LOL.)

Speaking of that OC, a good friend of mine drew her recently.  

@TheHappySpaceman  
Yeah I tend to have to do more work when I have to go all out in ponifying something, and I did this once for a tiny part of an image. (inner revenge cover)  
 
Honestly I should upload that but I never thought to. I spent like an hour just to make it look convincing in a small scale. :P

@LightningBolt  
You should, it looks really good!

Little AJ needs hugs.

Juggling with Vinyl!

It’s ToothFairy Day, so here’s a draw I did.
 

I got a question?Am a artist myself but am having trouble drawing and making the picture perfect and I been doing it for a week.My question to any artist,“does it take you a while and many tries to draw the perfect picture”?

Currently doing a new pic.

@Background Pony #E70D  
Oh gosh yes.
 
You know Miyazaki, the famous animator from Japan? If you ever watch “The Making Of” any of his movies, like “Spirited Away” or any of those, the floor of the study where he works is inches deep in discarded sketches.
 
If you can, find the sketchbook for one of your favorite artists, and look at all the work they do to create a finished image. They might go though a dozen sketches before they get what they’re looking for.
 
The trick is to just keep drawing. Sometimes a drawing doesn’t work, the composition is just off or you can’t land a perspective; just redraw it a few different ways to see if it clicks, or get a model or a mirror to see if you can figure out the perspective, or just draw other things for awhile and maybe it will work after you sleep on it.
 
When it works, it works. You start with a blank page and go straight to a finished work. Other times it’s in the doodle stage for an hour before it clicks. It’s possible to become someone who draws exactly what you imagine, from beginning to end, but that takes a lot of practice. Sometimes lots and lots of practice. And there will always be something that you find challenging to draw.
