Well, that requires practice and it's hard to say when you will finally be able to do that, but right now it's just a matter of time, eh?

First thing you do is understand that you don't have a mental block.

Then you go do it without said mental block because it's all in your mind and you made it disappear. If you let yourself fall into thinking you can't do something, then you can't do it. The more you worry about it, the stronger you're making it to be. You just gotta go and do it, knowing you can do it. There's nothing stopping you.

Well, you can't just wait or you might very well wait forever, you know?

Even when you try to "keep it up", if you don't try to push yourself to see better then it basically amounts into you just waiting. And looking at many people who have gone through such a phase, just waiting doesn't really do much.

It can be pretty dangerous when your mindset becomes something that expects poor results.

We've talked about visualization and some things that might help you before, what do you think is the thing that has helped you most?

So what if you did more writing?

What if you write what you want to see?

Well it was something I noticed myself as well when I started it out. But everything did get better as I practiced more.

I usually do my PnP roleplaying online. IRC is my favorite way because it's not like we need more than text and a dicebot, but if you want maps and such, there's programs for that. It's just hard to find a group usually.

Well we all like different things. I think I enjoy writing more than talking. And emotional scenes are easier to roleplay because "dude, I'm not going to actually cry here okay" but I can definitely write about such strong emotions and you know. Make it better or something.

Fede's busy trying to fuck his brain to become totally insane, he'll be back in like 5 months or so.

Also copying images isn't the easiest thing to do unless you're tracing. Trying to draw what someone else has drawn can be good practice very early on, but I suggest looking at real things and drawing them. Even photos can distort how something looks and if you don't get what you're really drawing, it will end up looking a bit off. Really study the stuff and such. Do I need to tell you that I love anatomy? Because I really love anatomy oh man.

This is now an art thread I guess.

There is only way of drawing that is not a style and that is realism. Every style is applied on top of realism, so if your realism is shit, your pretty coat of paint won't save the bad structure under it. "Style" is a way to cut corners. It's an excuse for the bad artists, screaming "IT'S MY STYLEEE" when you point out something is wrong with it.

Is cutting corners bad? Nah, that's what you do to be able to draw stuff the way you want faster than if you had to perfectly render the realism. But if you don't know what is under that style, you'll run into trouble. For ponies, first look at actual horses. Then study the style of the show. The anatomy of those marshmallow ponies is definitely linked to real life horses.
