i cannot stress this enough, people.
when it comes to sketching,
or painting,
or sculpting,
I AM NOT GOOD AT THOSE THINGS.
as a human, i naturally DON'T have a cutie mark.
but if i DID, it sure as hell wouldn't be a paintbrush.

Have you seen this:

These masterpieces were made by primitive monkeys thousands of years ago, they didn't have expensive materials, colors, How to draw book or even photoshop. You don't need to be an artist just practice and practice, every single human being has the hability to express himself/herself through art.

You're trying too hard, take things simple. Use samples and remember the ereaser is your best friend

I'm not an artist but I try. So I try and I try. I try and I try until my hands hurt from holding my tablet pen. I spent 30 dollars on my tablet pen and liked it a lot. It is fun to use. I wanted to draw humanized ponies. I drew a few ponies but got laughed at for them. That really bummed me out. I don't draw humznied ponies anymore :(

^^^ Just kidding. I still draw humanized ponies! :D I just keep them to myself. I actually think I improved a lot. 726 is right, just keep practicing, eventually your hand will start getting used to drawing things. You will find primitive shapes and curves becoming second nature to you. Nobody is born a great artist. Well except maybe some savants, but most of them can just photo copy scenes, some might not call it art.

It's true, you do get tonnes better the more you draw. Roboshi was after a ponysona too; you could ask to see what steps he took towards his.

Have a crack at drawing; We never have enough pony content on here. You'll be brilliant before you know it! We can't all be as terrible at drawing as me, lol.

Have you tried using one of the Pony Generators?

Oh, and have a look at this. It should be useful as a drawing guide.

There's a few "Pony Generators" out there that'll help you slap together a generic pony. Do a screen capture of the result and maybe touch it up a little with a "Paint" type program. It'll be good practice if nothing else. Here's one pony generator I found at random.

i have tried drawing ponies.
many, many times...
it took me forever to get the body shape right.
then i tried drawing the stethoscope...
and it smudged the thing to hell.
and i can never seem to draw the same body shape the same way.
i suppose some more practice would help...

@DR_Shrubbery: Is not that hard, you could even use some of the pony generators stated here, but i am rather bored so i will try to make an OC for you
I made one for Roboshi and is around here somewhere
As you can see i just used vectors and nothing too compliated but it allowed me to make poses that the generators can not manage but still looks pretty simple

Try the Pony Maker by General Zoi at DeviantArt.
It helped me a lot with Swiftwind and Montoya the donkey.

My roommate is not an artist in any way shape or form but he asked me to teach him to draw ponies, and he practiced every now and then. And his ponies are not half bad. Look at a tutorial. Try your hardest. Ponies are a very simple thing to draw. It doesn't take that much talent.

This is why I love this fandom. A brony asks for a little help, and everyone is so supportive and kind. THIS is the kind of stuff I signed up for. I came for the show, I stayed for the community. Collective brohoof all around guys. You've earned it.
