I have a feeling you have 'awful' and 'awesome' confused :P

This pic is adorable, and a fun thing to do! Diaperbutts are best pillows.

Dawwww. I'm faving this when it pops up on dA.

The only odd thing is Dash's mane and tail, I think. The mane a bit off, and the tail seems thin.Everything else is just cute and a wonderful concept, and those things don't get in the way.

Awful? How could this be awful? *Appears Puzzled*

We as artists can be our own worst critics. That is why it is good to post your work, as you have here, so that others can interpret it for themselves. What you may think is awful can be beautiful to your audience.

So far, I have yet to read one comment that confirms this as awful at all. Sure there are things that could be improved on. HOWEVER, isn't that why you continue to draw? If you were to say this was perfect, you'd have no desire to draw again for you'd have nothing to improve upon.

The true joy in the arts is that it is endless in how we grow in doing them. We will never be satisfied completely with a work as we can poke so many holes in an effort that, to others, the holes don't exist. However, it is the flaws we see that make us want to work harder on our next work.

As for the drawing itself, I think it is very adorable and Rainbow Dash looks so cute getting all comfy on Pinkie's padding. Just some nice, relaxing times. :)
