Title: Painting Practice with Ponies/Tailrustedtealeaf's art
Post by: tailrustedtealeaf on October 25, 2017, 07:50:11 PM: 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. :art:

Looking forward to the next piece!

I got another one in because my classes tomorrow start late, so here's Good Weather!

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

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! :lovey:
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.
