Description Whelp, voting ended and you, ma bois, decided i should do it!
oh my god...*screaming internally*

Sooo i picked few pieces of the oldest pony art i could find, because my human-oid art at the time was basically bases and recolors of Arthur and the Invisibles (yeah. dont ask.)
These were drawn at about 2011-2012... year of the struggle for me.

How did it start? Well, i was browsing some videos in youtube and accidentally stumbled upon Mlp:FIM episode. At the time I only knew of the older versions of the show, so this was quite a good treat for me and soon i was pulled into the fandom.

1. Liking the show style, i wanted to draw some ponies of my own, but had hard time getting the anathomy right, so I used countless of bases. These were few of my attempts to redraw some of the bases.
2. This one was before the #1 tbh, but i only now realised it XD My first ever oc! Fire Splash!(also my first even confident art. I was so proud of it, goddammit!) She was created with pony maker, i still have the very first picture Splash lol. Her mane changed at least 3 times during her lifespawn. It was hell.
3. While taking bases as references did improve my skills, I sometimes drew ponies freely and that would oftenly lead to some... weird proportions. But i didnt give up, and now that I found my own style, bases are strictly a no-no!
4. I wasnt very confident with my coloring skills (not to mention i had really... bad pencils) so I usually would just slap some base colors on the drawing and leave it there. Good times.

...Thats all for now! Most of my older art looked like this, so i didnt want to put too many similar pictures together. My biggest improvement happened during 2013-2014 year, but I wouldnt count those pictures as "old art" yet.

Hope ya guys like it~

This masterpiece here looks like one of my first pony pictures. 
I actually still have and draw the oc in the picture though she's changed sooo much.




It's really interesting looking back at your old art, seeing how far you've come since you started.

Aren't these the pictures that you drew in the animation class we went? Because I can perfectly remember you drawing the bases.
