@Minty_Root @Kirin_Princess I don't even know who I am anymore!
Fun comparison between how I drew Chrysalis back in 2013 vs. how I draw her now!
@MrDragon_Chris I still occasionally use the human head shape to base a pony face on, but nowadays as part of my transformation art, to show pony features emerging off of a human skull- so it's actually supposed to come off as a little uncanny until things smush down all pone-proper.
@MrDragon_Chris Funny you mention that- when I started drawing anthro ponies I came across the issue of the head feeling too "round" to sit on a human body. I tried solving the issue by basing anthro pony heads on a human skull shape.
Now though, my heads feel alright on either types of body.
I dunno what it was but I just didn't like drawing the simple round jaw and chin of the show.
Maybe it was me wanting more volume from my characters, even before I fully understood the concept. Or maybe just taking advantage of the fact I was illustrating and not animating.
Sometimes I see how other artists draw tiny snouts and think "They make it work so well!"
But I do like how I draw snouts and jawlines- an early design consideration I made in 2011 to differentiate my work from the show and has since become a recognizable feature of my style.
This year's been really exciting for me artwise, since its been so illustration heavy. It's something I only dabbled in, in the past, but I've lately been given plenty of opportunities to really push myself in regards to drawing characters in environments ^^
