Description Well, I haven't put up much of these lately, and this one is almost a year old. Now I have a huge backup of projects to decompile, so I'll try to catch up.

This was my first time drawing Waffle, but surely not the only time :3 Very fun!
  • Base character construction. I actually used what I learned from a previous piece to base Waffle's pose--I've come a long way.
  • Inking and character masking
  • First pass of shading. Although it's not much of a pass, this really determines how much contrast my shading might become.
  • Detailing of the eyes and hair, and second pass over the body to give more shading contrast.
  • Smoothed out the color for their coats--looks soft. Added highlights to the hair. Changed and tried to refine the dialogue text, but I still have terrible handwriting.
  • Added a background gradient and shadows. Also, I seem to have changed the dialogue again.

  • [Final]

    I'll be honest, when I saw the thumbnail of this, I thought it was another picture of Neon and Fox. XD
    It's really good though! Interesting that the words were changed from version to version. Quack.
    I just thought I would go back and comment a little bit on some of your other stuff.
    You deserve comments, even I don't have time to make them really intricate like usual.
    Fantastic job! Super cute as always!

    Eeyup, really old one, we hardly knew each other back then >_<
    And dialogue is in my opinion the most challenging to write. I guess, I'm not experienced in imitating other voices.
    It's alright my friend, but your comments are always appreciated. Thanks! <3

    Very interesting, It helps to better understand (through text and illustration) the different steps and so better reflect the difficulty; of the time spent on the realization and reflection on certain points of the drawing.

    Aw thanks ^^
    To be honest, I haven't figured out how much to document for these. As you figured out, there are so many step and iterations that I join together so I can fit them compactly. Unfortunately, it oversees a lot of the problem solving I have to go through for each piece.
    But yes, I really do enjoy putting these on, just compiling them takes me awhile.

    Ahh, but it's so old >n<
    Since then, I've changed so much like how I model ponies, how I color them, and especially the eyes.
    Thanks though, I usually don't have much time to look back at my art, but when I do, I get to see what I could be proud of and what I've improved on since then ^^

    Yes, I think your eyes shape and your anatomy have definitely improved : D
