What's with the whole "Krautism" thing? I'm assuming it's some sort of insult, but what's the context?
No.3164
>>3160Thanks.
I'm trying to improve and not just in drawing. It will take me some time, but I hope that I can come back with results soon.
>>3162I'm personally responsible for so much drama that it has reached critical mass and has become self-reinforcing and self-sufficient.
It is a little ded in here, but at least I can avoid posting on MLPG in the future.
No.3165
>>3159The head is a bit big
Whats the surprise? Tell me tell me tell me! No.3166
>>3165Hm, yeah I guess it is. Huge heads have always been a major problem for me. I have been drawing a lot of seperate disembodies heads, because I wasn't satified with how the look and I guess that contributed to that.
I thought the surprise was obvious, but I don't feel like drawing a follow up picture to that. No.3168
>>31644chan in general can be a very hateful place. Since there is anonymity, people think they can make fun of and hate without reprocussion. It's almost a trail by fire nature, but I prefer it over a place that requires a name or has a voting system. There is also a sense of elitism that people let go to their head since there's so many layers between a real person and an anon's post. Those who hate are more vocal than those who appreciate. When someone does something they don't like, and that person has a handle (a name or style), it's like open season. Maybe they think that if they hate something enough, it'll go away. Or maybe they enjoy attempting to be an asshole. I can't tell you how many times sa.jpg has been posted when Sentenal is mentioned or "krautism" when you contribute, but I find it childish and self-destructive while bringing down the quality of mlpg overall. Don't let asswipes control who you are, they aren't worth it. Thank you for being a contributor.
No.3171
Proportions and shit.
Drawing ponies is starting to feel like a waste of time and effort. I should branch out more in the future.
>>3168I don't think you can still count me as a contributor and I'm slowly ceasing to care. This shit keeps happening over and over and I'd rather keep it out of the thread. Both because I don't want to involve too many people in it and also because I'm sick of it myself.
If I have something to post I'll do it here.

>>3207Are you doing this on huge canvases? These kinds of practices work best on paper and meant for warm ups.
Good luck
No.3232
>>3230Thanks. I do these on the tablet, but I use lines and patterns that usually require me to use the entire surface of my tablet (~5.5x9").
I will do these for a while and will do tehse in the future as warmups. I noticed that anticipating the penstroke and correctly assessing the are you are drawing in is an important skill I don't have. Many artists who make tutorials only make references to this skill in passing and then never talk about it again. I also think I'll add negative space drawing to the list and then try some pictures with reference without actually looking at my pen or canvas when I'm drawing, which is another excercise which I should have done a long time ago.

>>3167>>3166Yeah, I think that headsize from your study-thing works fine for normal ponies, but the princesses have a smaller head and longer face - I don't think the circle for their head should have a much bigger diameter than the neck
I hope you don't mind that I edited your pic No.3235
>>3234Not at all. But as I said, drawing ponies would be a waste of time now. I'll take care of more basic stuff for a while and if this fandom still exists once I'm done with that I might draw a pone or two.

No.3239
>>3236I'll keep drawing, but for now I will keep anything to myself and won't upload anything for a while. I haven't been to MLPG in a few days and avoided Skype for the most part and so far cutting more ties has been good for me. Since this is a smaller and more manegable place I will do all my interaction with anyone here. I'll stop by here every now and then and will update with art as soon as I stop hating it and make something presentable, which will be a long time from now.

>>3242I'd rather stay gone for a while. I made most of my progress when I wasn't getting onto others people's tits and I was by myself.
I still hate drawing. It makes me mad really quick, it makes me feel sick, I hate everything I do and I hate myself for doing it, but I'm trying to get out of that and the only way I can do that is to do more until the pains stops.
Or quitting.
That's just a little venting, since this place is nice and quit and I don't have to bother anyone in private I'll do that here this one time.
I'll try to keep quiet, because I don't want to say and do things I will regret again. I will get through this, but I have to do it alone.

No.3515
>>3492i'm not sure where people get the idea that i have many art friends, because i don't. i just drew some stuff for people i apprecite or have interacted with in one way or another, because i assumed that was acceptable.
i have alienated all of these people but one.
this whole MLPG drawfag thing hasn't worked out the way i hoped it would, so i will no longer try to force my way into the community.
i have drawn a lot of stuff lately, almost all non-pony, and it has been working well so far.
i will focus on general improvement and expanding my skills until my style has changed enough to start posting elsewhere without people spotting me.
i want to continue drawing, but i don't want to continue carrying the baggage i got in this fandom and the stain on my reputation has gotten to bad to be washed off.
i have learned a lot of things at a price that was a little too high, but i can't undo anything now.
i will try my luck somewhere else and this time i won't fuck it up.

No.3537
>>3536i'm sorry you feel that way, but i can no longer help but associating MLPG with bad things and with the many fatal mistakes i've made.
i looked for a reason to start drawing a long time and MLPG provided a large part of that. i started to learn how to draw with the prospect of one day being accepted and being a part of it. but it didn't work out. i haven't been to an actual thread in weeks, except for when that lauren faust shit was happening, but being there constantly reminded me of how badly i fucked it all up and i want to get rid of that ballast.
i'm sorry for being as selfish as i always am, but it's better just to try again somewhere else and apply the lessons i have learned here the hard way than it is to fix something that is way beyond repair.

No.3578
Kraut, I think you are suffering from something I call "sheep fucker's remorse". It goes something like this: people tend to remember the negative things people do. You can save people's lives from a burning building, help the homeless, some sort of third Samaritan deed, but when word gets around that you fucked a sheep, that's all they'll associate you with.
"Oh hey, John Goodman just donated a lot of money to a charity!"
"The sheepfucker?"
People aren't going to forget, so you are just going to have to ignore. The ones who do keep bringing up your shit are usually doing it as a juvenile attempt to say "I don't like thing". It's like hitting a dislike button really hard with a stock phrase. It's pointless. If you like drawing, then draw. I like your drawings, even your non pony stuff, lewd and all.
No.3579
i didn't want it to end like this, so i will just add that i'm sorry for everything i've done, that i'm sorry for ever interfering with your lives and that i'm sorry for everything i've caused. i know that i can never make it up to all of you in any way, but just saying it is the least i can do. and sorry for letting you down.

>>5864okay. the mind exercises i have mentioned are the most important part of the problem. don't make them lose your momentum, take one thing at a time and never forget that not everything is bad all the time.
sorry for repeating myself, but that is too important.
that being said, you can always draw studies from reference or do pen exercises. you might not be a beginner, but try to follow this guide even if you have experience as a kind of refresher course:
http://www.squidoo.com/how-to-draw-learnthis type of fundamental skills will make every single drawing you do in the future a tiny bit easier. keep in mind that progress is usually slow and erratic, so keep pushing. analyze what you do, take notes and learn from everything, especially from your mistakes.
feedback can be very helpful, so try to get artists to give you critique and pointers. getting some assistance from someone who has been through this already can greatly smooth out your road to success. and try to get as much feedback from as many people as you possibly can. if you don't feel confident in sharing, that's fine too, but you shouldn't rely on yourself all the time too much
