      my first was crap also!
      Then i read the guides, used references to draw another. 'It' looked bad.

      And to those on the fence (like I was), as long as you don't try, you can still tell yourself that you might be able to draw a proper pony, but once you pick up that pencil, you can't fool yourself anymore.

      @Rarity's Augar Many people use different programs for their art. Many use Adobe Photoshop, or Illustrator for vectors. Others use free programs like Gimp, or Inkscape for vectors. Other programs artists common;y use include SAI, Art Rage, and Paintshop Pro, though I've never tried these myself.
