CherryRie Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 You know what, I give up. I've tried and tried to encapsulate everything I feel about this amazing work, but nothing I write down even comes close. Cat, as an artist you are everything I aspire to become. Everything from the way you capture the character's individuality though posture and form, to your portrayal of emotion and cartoony stylisation. Everything about your work feels loose, free, natural and above all entertaining The one thing I would ask is; if you were to give advice to a beginner looking to emulate a similar style, what would it be? Especially if they were struggling with expressive characters and can't get their head around morphing a face around an emotion >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarcatsic Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 hi hiYoung Rarity and Fluttershy are pretty awesome. I can just imagine Rarity trying to show Fluttershy the ropes, since she'd never been down to Earth before. "This is called a 'pond,' water collects here when it rains."THAT'S ADORABLE! I think I want to draw that, you're very inspiring! HeheYou know what, I give up.

I'm glad you like my doodles so much xD I try to make them fun to look at, but I suppose my style could afford to be a little more unique.But as for advice! Ummm... Well people who want to draw in a cartoony style should have a firm grasp of realism. That makes things easier to exaggerate (like how our ponies have big heads and stuff xD) So as you're getting comfortable drawing realistic things (real life references tend to be better than photos or pictures, but those can be very helpful too) referencing off different artists helps as well. Provided you aren't full out copying them or anything xD And of course practicing. Drawing as often as you can, even keeping a little doodle book onhand. I know alot of people are reluctant to practice, but it's the best thing to do haha. Hope that helps xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CherryRie Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Squee Pointers! Thanks for that, cat! We are doing more life drawing at collage atm so it's nice to know I'm on the right path. Given summer is coming soon I wonder if I should find a night class somewhere to keep up. Oh and out of curiosity, (sorry for all these questions but oh-my-gosh) how long have you been doodling for?

sarcatsic Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 UPDATED WITHHere's a picture of baby Spitfire! This picture has become a meme on Ponibooru, if you haven't noticed xDDDhttp://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae10 ... itfire.pngPeople may draw Spitfire with her hair wild and crazy, but I honestly think it's gelled back for looks. You know, to make her appear fast all the time, even when standing. Or just wind-blown. Take your pic xD Here's a picture of her with her hair down. Oh and her cutie mark is a flaming lightning bolt.http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae10 ... s/rdsf.pngAs you can tell, I really like drawing Spitfire with her hair down :I Oh, and here's Soarin'. He looks like Zac from Fern Gully.http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae10 ... wfire2.pngHere's RCT's character Star Chaser with Spitfire.http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae10 ... itfire.pngAn old picture I did of Bow-Tie smooching Applejack.http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae10 ... w_15-2.pngAn adorable picture I concocted after watching Best Night Ever xD I totally pictured Fluttershy licking some frosting off Rarity's cheek. Okay, so maybe it's something Pinkie Pie would do, but it's cuter coming from Fluttershy since it's the only saliva Rarity probably doesn't mind.http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae10 ... larity.pngSpitfire decided to have a little race with Rainbow Dash. Seems to be a bit too easy. How will Spitfire make this race more interesting?http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae10 ... /rdsf3.pngBY MACKIN' WHILE FREEFALLIN!http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae10 ... dsf4-1.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dessa Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I love them all, but I'm most fond of BowTie + AJ. Bow Tie's cutie mark feels like it was designed by a pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Mint Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 hi hiWhen I first saw: "Oh, I brushed it," on ponibooru it made me smile. And the expressions in "still wanna hang out?" are great. They kind of remind me of some friends I know who always have a semi-sarcastic quip on hand for any occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
