[GorillazFanz101]

[rpj918]

WHAT IS THIS SONG PLZPLZPLZ

[duryduty]

@rpj918 are you being facetious or are you legitimately asking?

[PhaePhin]

@rpj918 The song is 009 Sound System- Trinity

[KiotoKittyArtist]

im sure you say Basic MLP

Not Magnific MLP

[PlanB9741]

all rise to youtube's national anthem

[SarxTheJew]

no offence, but the body looks like a filly, whereas the head looks kind of like a mare. just sayin. And personally I can draw really well, but I'm terrible with online art programs, so it's alwase cool to see someone who can use them ^_^

[omfgpainkillers]

Paint SAI you say?

68 BUCKS YOU SAY?

Piratebay I say!

umad sopa?

[fernandaiscool]

Can you help me with eye position?

It looks akward in my pics.

[Eragonroks]

BTW, nice cutie mark on all of them!!! :)

[Eragonroks]

2 questions r u Christian? And wat song is that!!!?

[Eragonroks]

COOL! My Pony is named Eclipse Fire and I made her a unicorn pegasus! :)

[MaiaCatindig]

I love your OC :)) It's so cute!! How did you come up with the hair? Such a boss :))

[Bisoneer]

I used to kinda like this song, but the overuse of it on every video made me hate it.

I also cringe on the fact that this is "basic"

God how am i gonna do this .______.

[TheWolven12]

Do you think Lauren Faust knows that her cute ponies are also the center of a world-wide fandom? :P

[TheCrackerBrony]

lol in description she says u can buy paint tool sai... it's the easiest program on the planet to pirate.

[TheCrackerBrony]

very good video, but this song... AHHHHH

[CozmictheWolf]

canI ask a question? when I opened sai one time, all of the stuff was gone except for the canvas, te sidebar, tool bar, everything.what do i do to get it back?

[d521yts]

@CozmictheWolf If you haven't gotten an answer by now, there is an option at the top that says "Window" click that, and you can enable what you need.

[SpitfireBlaze87]

Hey there! I'm a new artist, and I know this is sped up, can you give me a rough estimate of how long this took to make?

The reason I ask is because I think I'm going too fast with my drawings and want to try to take longer to get better. Any help that you can provide would be awesome!

[Jionunez7]

Thank you

[michwng]

The proportion's off/

[KashimusPrime]

@michwng I am aware dear, this is just a basic how to guide for ponies. I'll hopefully find time and update with a better tutorial soon :)

[michwng]

@KashimusPrime want to hug

[TheCrackerBrony]

@michwng so...

[michwng]

@TheCrackerBrony so hi

[TheCrackerBrony]

@michwng hi

[michwng]

@TheCrackerBrony hugs?

[TheCrackerBrony]

@michwng yes, hugs

[michwng]

To the Youtube National anthem, I salute you.

[MrJeremiah267]

is that your pony?

[KashimusPrime]

@MrJeremiah267 The one being drawn yes :)

[RuIiotrio]

@KashimusPrime What are you settings? When I draw it makes a really dark line, I'd like to be able to make nice sketch lines like you when using my graphicstablet - thanks.

[koolaidguy23]

I came here just to listen to the song.

[violetbat96]

is that wisteria in the corner? :D

[totakeke1234]

This is youtubes new themesong.

[sonicboom774]

[palafox129]

[NinetinNinetin]

[GuitarLx44LOL]

Awsome!

[00mcwilson]

THIS SONG IS EAR RAPE

nice pony :D

[MidnightFireX]

@kitty19181

[Ultimatezeldafan4]

Please stand for the youtube national anthem

[kitty19181]

@KashimusPrime Where can I get a tablet? I've always wanted one, as I am better on paper than with a mouse. But I always want to draw on the computer, can you tell me? Pretty Please?

[PJohnnyJX]

This music is the #1 source of ear rape. Thanks for bringing back the memories...

[werewolfsrule1000]

This music appears way too much :p

[Kostja08a]

Song, we meet again!

[stayaliveorstaydead]

Dat music.

[wratchit]

what painting program are you using?

[KashimusPrime]

@wratchit I use Paint Tool Sai. I now use Inkscape which is a free vector program.

[wratchit]

@KashimusPrime Thx for replying i just downloaded inkscape a couple days ago.

[xato909]

instant MUTE ....

[LastGoldenHorse]

@xato909 why nobody likes this music? i mean when i found a video with music like this one...evryone says mute the vid or something...why don't you like it???

[xato909]

@LastGoldenHorse 'cause 20% of youtube videos have this music due WMG

[LastGoldenHorse]

@xato909 wmg? what's that? sorry i'm not from america or something...

[xato909]

@LastGoldenHorse Warner Music Group, Youtube became lamer since it was invaded by WMG,VEVO and other copyright companies :/

[toby3625]

If you compare my MLP ponies with yours, I cry because yours is better.

[thepokemonletsplayer]

do you an image before you draw?

stupid question I know

[Kostja08a]

MY EARS!!!!!

[AMcKeeCT]

Wanted to watch. Horrible music. Looked for different tut.

[PinkieApocalypse]

WHYYYY, WHYYY THIS SONGGG!!! but nice vid btw, BUT WHYYYYY

[EeveeTheFox]

Hey, can you get the same tools on Adobe Photoshop as you do on that program? (I'm too lazy to learn all new controls with a different program... plus I don't like spending money :P)

[HelloTharButtSecks]

@EeveeTheFox Well, SAI comes with a free trial. I suggest trying it out and playing with it. c:

It's totally worth it, ha. I use it constantly.

[EeveeTheFox]

@HelloTharButtSecks Oh, okay, thanks! Is it a limited time trial, or like a trial without all of the tools?

[HelloTharButtSecks]

@EeveeTheFox It's limited time (30 days I think...?), but it comes with everything but the saving feature, I believe. But that can be fixed by just using print screen. Unless your computer is plagued by crashes like mine is...'l|

:D And no problemo~

[KashimusPrime]

@EeveeTheFox Adobe Photoshop does have a vectoring tool. Photoshop Elements does not however. I'm sure there are tutorials around deviantART and Youtube for Adobe Photoshop.

[Imagewicked]

how the hell do you brush so well. i cant even do a curve that doesnt look like shit. do i need a mouse or sumin

[ra2yuri4]

@Imagewicked it's called a drawing tablet, look it up. He mentions it in the description, he owns an intuos 4

[Imagewicked]

@ra2yuri4 thanx a heap

[KashimusPrime]

@Imagewicked I use a Tablet, but there are amazing artists out there that can create masterpeices with just a mouse.

[GrayJeager]

@KH3sCloakedSchemer intuos 4, it's in the description

[Dagg215]

I've got an awesome idea, it's just that I can't draw most of it without changing to a different art style and not finishing any project I start.

[KikiMeowz]

But I like the drawing, GJ (Y)

[KikiMeowz]

THAT SONG

[Dunthyon]

@KikiMeowz It's sorta catchy to me. Better than the other 009 Sound System songs.

[TheKaleesh]

Very helpfull.

[XTrunksxXx]

how did you video it what program did you use to video it

it is great :3 

[RainAngel111]

:( my friends tell me i'm good at drawing then i watch things like this. *depression*

[SenyaSera]

@AmiTheFlyer LOL you're so right. XD hahahha

[Gihaal]

I wish I could draw ponies this good...

[gmiwoj]

seriously, FUCK THIS SONG

[Ace12541]

thank you, this helped me a lot, even though i still draw like crap, but i think your video helped me get the basics ^-^

[moviemowdown]

What was your pen presure settings?

[KashimusPrime]

@moviemowdown Well, my brush setting for airbrush is min size: 7% and density: 100% but you should play around with those settings, you might like the results :D

[iewan1992]

Sandy, from Spongebob? o.o

[KashimusPrime]

@AmiTheFlyer I have no idea, but I chose this song because it was the length of the video ,':D

[DJKkrunchProductions]

Not this SONG!

[Rareman001]

aww hear rape!

[venamek]

what song is this?

[cmfj4lif3]

coool c:



[bokoura]

Awesome tutorial! I used this to start drawing my own ponies, and I'm getting better quick! Thanks so much for uploading this!

[KashimusPrime]

@bokoura No problem :)

[Chainsaw20x7]

Do you do commisions?

[KashimusPrime]

@Chainsaw20x7 Yes I do actually, they are $5 for single characters, and $1 for an added character. If you are looking for a background with the image they are $10 for a simple background.

[whathappensLIVE]

i would buy this could you draw a picture of pinkiepie from my little pony friendship is magic holding a minigun...

[KashimusPrime]

@whathappensLIVE Mm sorry but I don't do free requests. I am open for commissions however. If interested just PM me :)

[Silverbender188]

what program is this?

[KashimusPrime]

@Silverbender188 This is a program called Paint Tool Sai. It's around $68 on it's website.

[MrBossnagger]

I've been trying to draw ponies using the pen tool in illustrator but I'm not sure what to do on the outlines where you have say one end of the stroke thins out to get thinner. Got any ideas on how to tackle this?

[KashimusPrime]

@MrBossnagger Well, I normally thin out the thick line around the chin, where the eyelashes are, base of the ears and the legs at the top. I'll be sure to post a lineart tut for that later. For paint tool Sai brush thickness I like to use a 4 pt brush, usually I use a 9 pt brush depending on the file size.

[CShep99]

awesome video i was looking for a tutorial on drawing them, after watching you i think i understand where to put the basic shapes in the body. i was pretty good at free handing it it before but now i will be even better!

[stickphantom]

do you use a tablet? i do, but i cant draw a straight line to save my life. also, can you do a male pony tut?

[KashimusPrime]

@stickphantom Yes I do actually, I've used it since I was thirteen, it's been 16 years since then. It takes alot of patience and practice to get the hang of drawing with a tablet. And sure, I shall when I can :)

[stickphantom]

@KashimusPrime *GASP* i love you. no homo.

[tomol6]

@KashimusPrime wut? I got used to my tablet 4 days after getting it. (wich was about 2 months ago)

[Maltese82790]

Very awesome XD, Wish I could Draw like this.

[KashimusPrime]

@Maltese82790 With time, patience and alot of practice I bet you can :)

[CompoundBowShooter]

Are you sure you aren't in the show? Cuz that looks helluva awesome.

[KashimusPrime]

@CompoundBowShooter If I was, my inner child would be singing the Hallelujia choir. Sadly I'm not. But thanks :D

[iggyziggypop]

negative proportions 

[KashimusPrime]

@iggyziggypop This ain't exactly how Lauren Faust draws them. And I have no idea what you mean by "negative proportions". This is simply how I draw MLPs from FiM. No one has to take it literally, just as a simple how to guide to apply their own skills to. In the future, kindly explain what you mean that way yer not leaving the youtuber in confusion from your comment.

[soniafung1]

what is this music called?

[KashimusPrime]

@soniafung1 The song is ! Trinity by 009 Sound System.

[unicornprincess1245]

did u use photoshop to make this?

[KashimusPrime]

@unicornprincess1245 Nope, used a program called Paint Tool Sai. It's $60 in USD on their main website. Hope this cleared things up for ya.

[furglpswebkinz]

cool

[thewalrus177]

GOSH! Thank you so much for putting a tutorial on MLP FIM

[KashimusPrime]

@thewalrus177 Not a problem :)

I plan to make a 'how to color' tut soon as I can pull myself away from Minecraft long enough.
