More coloring practice! Yay! This is the reason why I fight!
Alright, yesterday I drew a heroic medieval heroine with a grownish Peppy Longstockingish build. I dunno. She fights highwaymen and dashing rouges at night as a mysterious heroine, while spending the day as a gangly milkmaid at a local farm(!).
Action! Suspense! Drama!
Anyway, I needed to get rid of my armor fascination. Her right hand seems to have entered a pocket dimension and the helmet and chin doesn't line up very nicely unless she likes to wear her helmet slightly crooked.
Today I was busy so I drew a quick and messy Samurai-Equestria Scoot, in a (playful?) fighting stance. The stance is gimped, even for marshmallow pony-anthro type thingy. The shading is messed up around the neckline and around her right leg and robe. And the less said about the robe around her hands and arms, the better. But I ran out of time, so it is what it is. Put it away and start again tomorrow.
I'll do better for you tomorrow Scoots, I promise! *runs off crying*
What I learned:
I kept practicing my coloring and stuff, but my shading could be darker. For the Scoot I found a method for cleaner shading that fit my messy penmanship so yeah for that. I just use the smudge tool and just slowly dab the shading out till were I want it.
I forgot to mention before but I have also started to do light cross stitching(?) type stuff to in the shadows of the figures. I find it looks good for cloth sometimes.
