Yaay, more pony-art! Been a while since I did a digital painting...

Timelapse coming up once I find some fitting, copyrightfree music! Feel free to suggest some!

Following some helpful observations and my own penchant for surface-lighting, I touched it up a tad. Also added a few missing things. *coughearandteethcough*

Augh! How did I miss this one?
Really beautiful work.
How do you get the light and shading so nice? Do you just build up the layers how it feels right to get the shadows and depth? Or do you visualise it before putting them in? Or is there a particular reference that you use? Just curious :)

Fgsfds, thank you so much! TwT
On these particular lineless pictures, I actually do all the shading and highlighting on one layer, a grey one, which I then dodge and burn around with until I think it looks nice >w< (as seen in this speedpaint of mine - this particular picture ain't so great, but it demonstrates the technique.) I then add colours on a layer on top, set to "overlay" or "multiply" or several layers like that, all so I can get it just the way I want it >w<
I always visualize most of my pictures before I start drawing, but I only use reference when I'm struggling with something or trying to learn something new, actually ^^'

lots of emotion evident in rainbows face, some simple but still with lots to look at

Thank you very much! >w< I always get inspired the most by music and sometimes the simplest picture is the best way to use that inspiration TwT

Wow. That's emotional, right there. Love the reflection of her prismatic hair on her ear. Really nice touch. :}

Fgsfds, thank you so much! >w< That was part of the "better-the-hell-out-of-this-bitch"-edit, and I was a little afraid I'd gone too far and added too much surface-to-surface lighting TwT;;

Thank you very much! >w< I feel like it could use a little more than just RD's head, though... XD
