Playful pony lineart

[Griffin]

I've been itching to do a new adoptable but real life always comes in the way! Yesterday however I decided to take a break from my viva preparations and sketched this pony.

Digital art has been a bit of a hassle since my tablet is so old it's not compatible with my current laptop/system (Win 8). I'm thinking of buying a new one, but in the meantime, I realised there are art apps for smartphones! Duh So I installed an app called ArtFlow and inked the lines using a cheap touch screen stylus. It worked surprisingly well!

The pose was inspired by one of the Panini sticker album stickers (Tickle, I think). I'll open these as adopties later this week or early next week!

I can possibly offer larger versions of the different species as colouring pages later if there is interest.

Wow, you did that on a smartphone?  Nice!

Thanks, Safflower and SunPony!

Yes, I took a photo of my pencil sketch and did the lines over that (ArtFlow supports layers but the free version only allows three... it was just enough for my purposes). I don't think I could've done it without the stylus, though! Finding the correct line widths and achieving a smooth flow to the lines took me some time since the stylus is not the most accurate tool, it's like drawing with an eraser, haha. Most of the lines you see have been drawn and erased and redrawn at least twice or thrice.
