I haven't thought of a name for her yet and I definitely have a lot of room for improvement she is almost finished just needs her nebula cutie mark but I'm so happy with her! Thanks for looking oh! And can anyone recommend a good paint for custom ponies? Mine is clumpy, thanks x

With the paint-how much did you thin it out? I think this is often the culprit of clumpy painting.

I don't think I added enough thinner despite using more than it said to, hoping I'll get better at it I really enjoyed making her x

Post by: tailrustedtealeaf on February 11, 2020, 02:23:32 PM: She looks so darling! A general guideline is to thin your paint out to the consistency of milk-if you were using a portioned amount or measured amount it will have different effects based on how clumpy or thin your paint is to start with. And of course, lots of thin layers. I've seen someone use a makeup sponge to apply a base coat instead, so that's always an option. I love the little marks on her nose!
