How can I escape the uncanny valley that happens when I practice realism, since I am not quite there yet.
Stylised pony art kinda fucked my anothemy.
Read the sticky, you have a bad case of symbol drawing.
Needs more Loomis

I tried to draw from reference this time. With concentrating where everything is.

>uncanny valley
you are more like close to the symbol drawing than the uncanny valley, and those 2 are opposites valleys on the same mountain
>>2737216
no you didn't

You're still drawing stuff based on what you think they look like instead of analysing and building what you actually see on paper.
Again, the sticky thread is your friend.

Stop drawing eyes and mouths, and start drawing amalgamations of shapes relative to one another thoughtfully constructing your way to the end result.
You're kind of the typical manga-studying westerner, dude. Break shit down. Think in 3D before you work it down to 2D. That sorta thing.

You clearly don't know what uncanny valley means.
>>2737188
yeah now when i see it you´re still drawing the rainbow dash hair. do a webcomic or something you´d have a shorter term translation in that section
