Some random things and a dancing bug

Just some random things.  I'm pretty sure you can figure out the gist of them without any descriptions for each, so I won't bore you guys with any of that on this post. ;)  If you do have questions, feel free to ask.  You can also find me on facebook and deviantart if you'd rather contact me there. 

And an interesting fact I just discovered is that I just saw a link on my stats that led to this post, that is apparently based off of my original blog post here.    They referenced use of my page and even the page that I used as reference (I'm assuming I was somehow their main reference for that to happen).  So I guess that's pretty cool.  I can't imagine anyone learning anything from that post though LoL!  If anyone does happen to use it to make a sketchbook, I'd love to see how it comes out.  ;D 

Sketches and some animal doodles

Just another group of sketches.

I was pretty pleased with how this turned out. It's not perfect, but I think it looks improved from my previous ponies at least. I've been trying to think of a name for her. I thought it might be fun to have her be related to Pinkie Pie but her cutie mark doesn't really suggest a relation there.

I'm not sure why I kept this guy purple. I wasn't really concerned with his color, just wanted to see how the overall image looked in some sort of colored form rather then just the sketch. And his legs look messed up but I like the way he looks mid body up so I may use that part somehow later? We'll see I guess.

I don't often try drawing full body sketches. I tend to practice small areas at a time, like doing head sketches. But I feel I should draw them more so I doodled this. I haven't been drawing very many animals lately either it seems like. I really like how this guy turned out. He still needs some polishing I think, but he makes for a cute little doodle. :)

Don't forget, you can also follow my work via DeviantArt and Facebook. :) Happy weekend to all!

Just some random things to share with you guys before the weekend. :) Happy Friday! :D

Ponies and pastels

I always have the hardest time getting back into drawing if I skip a few days. :/ Even if I draw by hand, digital drawing just eludes me if I don't draw with it everyday. Even if I have twenty ideas, my mind just goes blank looking at that white screen. :/ So I normally fall back to drawing random ponies when that happens. And I ended up creating this little pony. I suppose her name is Galaxy? I tried playing with another brush, that I really need to use on a project, so it was great practice for that at least. :)

Here's the same pony with a small scene of her own. I need to draw more backgrounds. :p I don't care for my trees at all, but I like the rest. Although I had to darken the pony a bit so she wouldn't blend in so much with the background.

It is winter here. Nasty, cold, leafless winter and I absolutely can not wait until spring. And I've seen so many pastel colored arts lately, that it makes me think of Easter and flowers and all things beautiful, so I decided to sketch some pastel colored things myself to work on my coloring a bit. It's one of the first times I've actually drawn something in a way that I like. And I actually picked the colors myself rather then using a reference or pre-created color scheme like I normally would. Hopefully that means my artistic talents are getting better. ;D

Is it really almost Christmas? :O I keep trying to tell myself I have more time then I do. And every year, I always try to tell myself I'm going to make at least one handmade gift for everyone, which never happens. :/ But, if you're in the holiday spirit and want to make stuff either as gifts or just as a treat for yourself, be sure to check out these fun sites. They have tons of ideas!

Just some random practice stuff as I keep working to find my own style and trying to better my art in general. :)

Some new sketchy-ish things

Some new sketchy sorts of things.

This is currently my new avatar for DeviantArt.

This was done with the chibi-like pink sketchy pony I posted yesterday.

And this....well, this is a lochness sweater monster. :p I hope you like him. He's sort of shy but really fun to be around. :)

Yes, another pony. :p

Just a random digital sketchy pony. :)

Who took all the cookies?!!!!

Poor Angel. Fluttershy really doesn't like anyone taking her cookies apparently. XD Not really sure where this idea came from, but it was fun to draw Fluttershy in such a different characteristic state then her usual sweet self. Kind of reminds me of the episode where they went to the Grand Galloping Gala. XD
