    well, this took me an hour and it's an atrocity. I don't know if it's because I need a TON of practice, or if I should just stick to other things. http://ur1.ca/4y2ww

      @starshine Looks like a pony to me! But yeah, a lot of my tablet drawings end up like this. I recommend starting on paper. :3

        @thelastgherkin I'll refer you to my earlier comment about reams of paper. I think I used 'undo' about 100 times for each visible stroke there. :\

          @starshine Sorry, I was typing one-handed and also eating pizza so I didn't catch up with the whole conversation. But really, honestly, practice makes perfect is the best advice. Start simple and small, maybe by copying some of your favourite screenshots, and work your way up to more complex stuff. :)

        @thelastgherkin So you draw all your stuff on paper and then what, scan it and trace over?

      @starshine Most of what I'm seeing is mostly just stuff from being new. You've got the right idea. Here are some suggestions: When the viewing the character from the side, the eyes tend to be a bit closer to the front of the head rather than the center. I'd post a screenshot, but I'll have to dig that up in a sec- they usually use a 3/4th shot for scenes rather than a direct frontal or direct side view.Also, the portion going to the neck tends to curve inwards rather than being a sharp drop. Similar for the back of the neck. Also, the rear leg was pretty close, but I think it was a but squished proportionately in relation to the show. I can't be a lot of help with proportions as I'm pretty bad at it too, but I'd recommend using GIMP's ruler function or drawing lines to help you measure it out. Load up a screenshot in GIMP and do some markings on it to help you figure out your own sizing rules.... If there's anything you want me to clarify, feel free to ask. :3 http://is.gd/XqzBVS
