Yeah but Zajice is too good, it almost takes away all drive to draw anything. The only thing that keeps me going is the thought of drawing something that no one (that I've seen) has drawn before, so I won't just be drawing/sketching ponies from the show.
So?
That didn't stop me, but I do understand that Zajice's awesome artwork can put all of our artwork to shame. You'll just have to look past that and just try to draw something.

Also I'm curious how would you draw something? Would you draw on paper first and then scan it (if you wouldn't scan it then how would you get it on your computer?) or would you draw from paint or another drawing program? Whereas I used the drawing program, Gimp, to make that artwork that I posted two pages ago.

It's not gonna stop me either, it's just something that we all I have to cope with, lol.

My current plans are to draw/sketch on paper and then scan, but if I encounter problems with that I'll just try to find my brother's tablet and make an attempt to redraw it in Paint or something. I'm not too experienced with getting pictures on a computer either, so I'm just gonna have to Pegasus-wing it.

Here you go Xyless. this is what I used as a reference when drawing Pinkie Pie, specifically the "Poni Shapes 2" link. I also used a couple of pictures of Pinkie Pie so I knew how she looked, although none of the pics I had of Pinkie Pie were great since they clashed a bit (mostly with her mane).

Edit: You could use this as a reference too Phoenix.

I just bookmarked that page, some of those guides seem rather helpful. The colour ones, not so much. I don't plan on colouring at the moment 'cuz I know I'll just mess up my whole picture. Plus I don't have Photoshop, and it seems like that's needed for some of those guides.

My method is sketching first, then I use Paint.net as a freeware drawing program to refine it.


Also thanks much to y'all for those shape references for future use, sucks that it's too late for my Twilight Sparkle :<

Draw Angel as a pony.

I have been forced to go to the mall. I don't think I'll be able to make it to a tv in an hour T_T

Since I have the day off today, I'll be able to watch it on TV for the first time. :D

I chose ponies over a slip-n-slide event at this church.

A wise choice.

I chose ponies over class.

preparing to leave. I'm assuming we can just go on the xat and they'll have a link for the livestream.
OR ED will have one.

Pick your poison. Just so you know, I didn't do these; I read your plight and heralded the message to a fellow brony who came to your rescue.

He also wants me to e-slap you because he had this song stuck in his head all day.

Watching it live on TV.
Spike's sodium levels are through the roof, Pinkie Pie made a lol, and the fans have more fodder for RD and Scoots abuse relationship.

I haven't seen someone **** up so hard in MLP ever.
Spike's ********. lol.

Also, I'm surprised they allowed the implication of a dead animal bleeding out on the channel.

Sooo, does this mean
that the owl is going to be a regular character now?

I mean he's a cool guy and all but he seems out of place.

The episode was okay.
We've been far overdue for a Spike episode, so I'm glad it happened.

Still awake and haven't slept since 5 PM yesterday, i'll watch the episode once I wake up...
Actually, Right now doing too many things at once trying to plan for WHGU6, With the way things are going I don't think i'd need sleep. Some pony give me loud music or something to keep myself entertained for 4 more hours.

Slush, you didn't watch the episode?

Overall, it was okay. It wasn't great, and it wasn't something amazing, but like I said earlier, we kinda needed a Spike episode, so I'm glad this happened, even though it meant Applejack got less than 20 seconds of total screen time, and less than two lines of dialogue. :<

The only episode weaker than this IMO is the pilot.
