Painting Practice with Ponies/Tailrustedtealeaf's art

[tailrustedtealeaf]

I'm very unhappy with my panting/shading skills, so I'm going to attempt to digitally paint every few nights with a random pony (using MyLittleWiki.org to choose). If anyone wants to participate, they may! This may also be an opportunity to give less-known/appreciated ponies some fanart.
Tonight was Flurry! The whole piece is a giant mess, but I had fun on it, at least? I'll try different shading and coloring styles to see what fits best.

Perhaps this will push me to stretch my boundaries and learn more.

That is a great idea. I like the loose, relaxed brushstrokes in this one, and the unusual angle! The pastel sunset colours are also super pretty.

Looking forward to the next piece!

Great job! The angle is amazing, love seeing ponies from behind as not much art is done from that angle The watercolor like brushes are awesome too

Thanks to everyone who replied!
I got another one in because my classes tomorrow start late, so here's Good Weather!

I was trying to settle on a good monthly thing to try (even though I suck at them) and I settled on Applejack.

I found a brush setting that greatly improves the quality of my paintings!

Hehe, what a fun style!

I love the peaceful atmosphere in the Good Weather piece. She's also a pony that doesn't get much love in the form of art so it's great to see some finally!

Thank you!
I'm surprised I don't see much of her around, she's got such a fun color scheme and she seems adorable! Even though I'm trying an Applejack drawing a day challenge, I'll have to do some random ponies, too. It's fun to be introduced to so many new ponies that I don't hear about.
