How Did You Develop Your Pony Style? Both Art And Animation

How did you develop your pony style? Both art and animation

 ”Hum…. Interesting question

2011 - 2013  -> my style is very primitive. I barely know anatomy, color, composition, painting, so its pretty ugly to look at, I call this my “Circles years” (because I literally trained to draw circles since I could not draw for shit)

2013 - 2014  -> Already with some years of drawing, the results are starting to improve, I dedicated half a year to learn photoshop in its totality and this began my “Plastic style era”. Where basically all of my drawings shared same structure (sketch, lineart, fill, multiply layer shading, effects)

during this period, I discover colors

2014-2015  ->  This is the breakthrough years in my art, in these two years I’ve made over 600 pieces, these are my “Bob Ross years” I ditch the boring previous structure and experiment a lot, I start painting and focusing on learning how to draw backgrounds. In the process of that I also become a lot more technical with compositions and rendering.  My ponies become a lot more horse-ish. (and during this time I get featured for the first time in Cutie Art Crusaders videos)

2016 -> Is my year of “Wisdom and feelings”. I slow down from my crazy fast pace, I take more time to absorb information and I spend more time to think before I and while I draw. During this period my art goes from frantic sketchy paintings to something more mature and finished looking. I go through some personal life turmoils and difficulties as I try to get into art university and get denied. My family is being very resistive to the idea of me following art but I prevail and keep going forward .

Also, the real beginning of Celestia adoration and start of my first magnum opus project that still goes until today

2017 -> “The Celestia voice” period. I am crazily motivated as I finally got into UNIVERSITY, I achieved my first mini life goal. I made up my mind to become an artist and changed the direction of my life (which was going towards physics and engineering) just with my dedication and love towards this craft.

I move out to capital city to study, its a whole new page in my life .Also as I frantically dedicate my time towards university classes, I start to create silly dumb animations on the side.

Also my first big animation work in collaboration with Vylet Pony, I learned a ton about animation in this project and since then, I’ve been increasingly attracted to it.

wew this was a bit longer than I thought.

But as you might see, each year is its own story, and animation is actually a very recent thing in the chapters of my life.

Hope this was somewhat educational :p
