guys i am exploring the wonderful world of digital art again and i present you with this drawing of what i think it would look like if twilight sparkle was slightly angry with starlight glimmer and starlight glimmer was disheartened by it

[silly-inky]

Currently adding base colours to the drawing, little fact about me, half the time I can’t be arsed working out colour theory so I just add transparent layers on top of my already coloured in layers so I don’t have to worry about the lighting and whatnot before hand.

Well I decided to actually try it this time, no transparent layers, just me, I don’t know how I’m doing it but I am, I’m not even looking at any tutorials or guides m, just scrolling through TikTok and watching Sam and Colby, it’s like the time I could suddenly do side profile’s (the lips to be more exact, they always frustrated me) but now it’s this, please someone tell me how I’m doing this, I’m so confused

I want to tell a story to the artists and would-be artists out there.

When I was 19, I made a large oil painting of the nerd I would eventually marry. I poured all my attention and care into this painting. It's the only art I have from back then that still holds up as a work I'm proud of today.

I entered it into a judged show at the local art center. It got an honorable mention. I went to see the show with my beloved model. One of the judges came up to talk to me, and highlighted that all the judges really liked the painting. It would have placed, except, you see, the feet were incorrect. They were too wide and short, and if I just studied a bit more anatomy-

I called over my future wife, and asked her to take off her shoe. Being already very used to humoring me, she did. The judge looked at her very short, very wide little foot. Exactly as I'd lovingly rendered it. I would never edit her appearance in any way.

The judge looked me in the eye, and to his credit, he really looked like he meant it when he said "Oh I'm so sorry."

Anyways the moral of the story is that all of those anatomy books that teach you proportions are either showing you averages, or a very specific idea of an idealized body. Actual bodies are much more varied than that.

So don't forget to draw from observation, and remember that humans aren't mass produced mannequins. Delight in our variation. Because it's supposed to be there.
