Just a guy who was inspired by others to give art a chance. Sometimes I will post drawings in an attempt to get better at drawing ponies, and other things once I have more experience.

Mod: I’ve got some pretty big plans coming up for the story arc here, including a fairly nice cameo count and I need to fill some spots.

So if you want your oc to cameo, reblog with their ref pic. Sorry, by this time it can’t be changelings unless they’re in a pony or similar disguise, or are reformed.

Also, if you’re an ask blog and want to participate in this upcoming arc (crossovers, etc.) IM me!

Couldn’t get the idea out of my mind and I had to do it before going to sleep! I had to give the pone some horns, and now she has them! This will be my little demon pone, no pun intended.

Been busy all these months, barely having any time to actually practice drawing. I haven't made much progress, but last year I wasn't able to draw ANYTHING. I've been getting better at drawing front view faces, but I still need to practice side view and such, and manes, mostly manes! I cannot figure out how they work.

I finally had the time to watch the season 7 episodes of MLP. It’s very different from other seasons, but I liked both episodes, especially Celestia and her adorable laugh. Luna is still my favorite, though.

It's been raining this past few days, and while I love dark, rainy days, I couldn't stop feeling a little melancholic for some reason. The drawbacks of being an introvert, I suppose.

Anyway, I think I’m going to take advantage that there is no one at home to take a nap.

Year XXXX of the Age of Harmony

Rain drops fall cold outside tonight

Glittering like diamonds in the starlight

Rest your head and hear my heart sing

You rest here free from the storm's bite

So warm, so safe, beneath my wing

Under the watchful gaze of Luna

Your heart sings as I lie near

Whispering soothingly in your ear

Dreaming of what tomorrow brings

Now sleep ever so tightly my dear

So softly wrapped in my wings

Standing on guard does Luna

We stretch out in our downy shrine

In a pillar of moonshine

Two hearts sing as if they're one

As yours moves closer to mine

A dream, we share, til dawn has come

It's secret even from Luna

art tips post

for all the artists following me

  • draw fast. it’ll look messy for a long time but you’ll improve faster than if you spend 4 hours on every drawing
  • if you draw in pencil and have a habit of erasing all of your mistakes, try drawing in pen or marker. i know it’s scary but it’ll help in the long run (i’m speaking from experience)
  • try different methods and mediums but don’t worry about mastering any of them, just have fun
  • if you’re not rich, buy art supplies from the dollar store, not the art store (seriously. i go through a sketchbook about once a month and i’d rather spend $4 on one than $15)
  • there’s no wrong way to learn. you can copy other people’s art if you want to, just don’t post it
  • DO NOT worry about having a consistent style. do not. just draw however you want
  • if you want to make original characters then do it. don’t worry about if they’re original, or a good design, or if they have an accompanying story. make sonic ocs. do it. it’s fun and it’s not hurting anyone
  • try not to kill your back. stand up and stretch once in a while
  • make a folder and save all of your favorite arts for inspiration 
  • draw from life. draw your dog. draw your teachers. draw your desk. draw your own hands (seriously that’s the best way to get better at drawing hands)
  • in general, drawing from life or a photo is better than drawing from a diagram
  • draw whatever you want. draw youtubers if you like youtubers. draw undertale if you like undertale. when i was a kid i drew nothing but shadow the hedgehog and horses. everyone deserves to draw what they want without being mocked, and if people start making fun of you, block them and keep drawing
  • don’t expect to get any notes at first. don’t let it discourage you. if you want validation go show your art to your mom or your friends or your teacher or your grandma
  • take breaks, but don’t give up.

I feel like this is important to say here.

There is no competition for ‘Best Artist’. There is no such thing as ‘1st Place: Best Artist Award’. There are no categories for people to stand above everyone else. There is no prize, there is no ‘loser’, there is no actual ‘Better Then You’ concept other then what YOU perceive of -yourself-. 

You only have a hundred or so watchers? You are no less then an artist with 10k+.

You can only draw doodles people can barely recognize? You are no less then an artist who can draw hyper-realistic portraits.

You only post art once every other month at best? You are no less then an artist who posts every single day.

Nobody is better then you. Nobody is beneath you. This concept is no different in the art world then it is in real life, if you were to pass some random dude on the street and worry they were somehow better then you. Art is not a competition in the sense that other artists should be viewed as a threat.

Art is a competition with -yourself-, to fight and claw and scrape and push until you go from that shitty stick figure you doodle once a month in a lined-paper notebook, to your ultimate art goal. Other artists are in the same position as you, ultimately, clawing and fighting their way up to their own goals, and their success should be taken as inspiration instead of jealousy and spite. 

You CAN get there. You WILL get there. Push yourself because that is only ever -your- job. Study because that can only be done by -you-. Practice and fight through your insecurities telling you you’ll never reach anything, because they are LYING to you and you CAN get there. You can. 

And hating others for their own efforts will do nothing to help you, and everything to hinder you.
