I was recently visited by https://derpibooru.org/profiles/BJSampson and we spent an afternoon drawing together. It was the first time I had drawn traditionally for as long as I can remember, so I wasn’t expecting quality. But, I had fun regardless. Also, all were drawn from memory, some of which turned out well, some of which not so well.
The first Coxa abomination was me trying to draw with charcoal pastels. I didn’t realize they smeared so easily.
The second was my using colored pencils. Her head is a bit too small, but Maud is always beautiful.
The Pinkie is probably the one I’m most happy with. Such a sweet mare.
The fourth one is supposed to be Sweetie Belle…and I completely got her mane wrong. She also has a bit of a football head, but I like how she turned out overall. This one was me moving on to charcoal pencils and also trying https://derpibooru.org/profiles/BJSampson’s technique of starting at the snout. I usually start with the skull and eyes.
The last one is a bit special because the dark black lines were done by https://derpibooru.org/profiles/BJSampson, who challenged me to finish the basic framework. I just wish that smeared charcoal wasn’t so noticeably on yellow. It makes her look dirty.
Overall, traditional art is tough, especially since I’ve grown so used to being able to fix my mistakes with digital art. I commend traditional artists for being able to just roll with mistakes and imperfections, or draw with so much care and attention to avoid them in the first place.
