Less than a year ago, I started watching a show called My Little Pony : Friendship is magic, the soul reason I started watching this show is because I remembered those things from my past, and once my little sister mentioned it to me- that they were bringing it back, and I read an article about how the woman that brought upon Power Puff Girls was bringing these ponies into life I had prominent reason to give it a go- and I recall watching the very first episode, my little sister walked in, asked what I was doing, and I just shrugged her off as though it was something natural because- that's how it felt. It felt so reminiscent and familiar to be seeing these characters come to life in the same art style I grew up with- or at least the familiar art style-of Power Puff Girls- and I couldn't recall a time where I felt that at home here in Colorado, than I did watching that familiarity come to life before me.
This account. Is one of the reasons behind me meeting one of my best friends, and even more so- being able to cope with feeling like I was never good enough. Before drawing ponies I wasn't all that good at anything I did, I felt absolutely pointless through all my work and I was stunting my progress in my own way- simply because I refused to think I could ever get better. With ponies, I feel I progressed at a very quick rate, and that is something I truly needed- and never thought I'd acquire through drawing horses- when I was young, I envied my older sister because she had this breathtaking ability to draw these realistic horses that were- well- breathtaking... and now- I can draw them in a form that- fits the style I've always been better at- cartooning.
