Ponythread Learns to Draw II

[Madcrafter]

Over-smoothing is something I've done a lot of too - it's just so easy to see something that doesn't quite work and blur it until it's nice, safe and flatly gradiented. My tendency to do it comes from 'i have to do something, this is something, i have to do this'. I've been trying for a while to get my head around much harder, sharper lines and shadows but I've been limited in that by my hardware.

If you're concerned about it, try doing some very hard, flat pieces for a while. You're making great progress overall with the painterly stuff but it could really be worth exploring a polar opposite to your usual style.

Hmm, decent idea. I'll give it a shot.

Let's just abandon this one then, not like it was going anywhere. Actually I have no idea where it was going.
