No Shimdra! WHY?! WHYYYYY!? You drew dragons remember? Not this goofy girly gunk!

Well guess what... I'M DRAWING IT NOW!! HA HA! This is one of my very favorite characters from the show, and is one of the strongest characters that breaks the status quo of little girl's shows.

So anyway in order to achieve the proper look, I had to do a little practice with Toon Boom. Now normally I despise vector art because of how it interprets my strokes (See first two panels that appear to have been drawn by a narcoleptic on speed.) But after a little study of dimension and some tweaking to the pen smoothness I started to get the hang of how people draw these cartoons.

Panel 1: from memory (ha) -_-
Panel 2: (with reference)
Panel 3: hardcore study

Mind you I did this change in a few hours. If I drew this everyday, I'd be wizard. Unlike the actual cartoons which use recolored puppets, all these where drawn on a single layer (and later composed as separate images.)

The biggest change came in how I did the eyes, which I realized (too late) where done on a separate layer. Still I did my best to fix it and it came out rather nice. I toned down the mullet for the angle she's at.

MLP and character are Hasbro's. Done in ToonBoom 6.0
