Description I've been missing Nalani, so here she is. I actually have a couple different half-done sketches of her running around, but ~lightstep drew me these gorgeous lines, and I just had to color them. I'm sure you guys see why.

Anyhow, she was doing free requests, and honestly I've been dying to color some pencil/sketchy lines instead of digital lines. Unfortunately I now feel like half my gallery is just linearts Ah well. I'm finally getting out of my hating-every-sketch-I-do-ever funk, so yay!

Still, it's nice to practice shading without pressure! I like it. Although her eye was a little difficult. I couldn't decide about the highlight, but in the end I decided to leave it, because when I deleted it, her eye lost the definition...and darn those charms, again! They're really hard to do at such a small size. That'll teach me! Also...I like my mountains. They kinda look like mountains. Cool huh?

Lines were drawn for me by ~lightstep .
Everything else is mine. No references used. Joyous.

Cloudrunner64 In reply to silverwolverine [2011-03-20 20:13:28 +0000 UTC]

Yeees you can because I think they took me like an hour to do xD But I think I've finally found a method that works without making them look funny. Maybe.

Yaaaay mountains!

More yay! I love your ponies. Do it. Do it nowwwwww.

I have lots of hope for it. LOTS. It's just a little tedious. But that's ok when they turn out nice. Cause you can sit in your corner going :} Yeeees...I did that...mhmmm....

Yay! I'm so excited.

Was a glorious line art, and you're getting really good with shading, especially with following the curve of muscle on the hind end. I just love how you did the hair, too!

Cloudrunner64 In reply to NewShine [2011-03-20 20:15:33 +0000 UTC]

It is indeed. I did a little happy dance when I saw it xD The look on her face is just perfect. Aw, thank you <3 It took me a minute to figure out what it should look like, since the first time I went over it it really looked odd. I really need to get out my anatomy book and study the hind and chest muscles though. Anyway, thank you!
