Shading attempt

[Comrade Courage 653]

I had been wanting to do this for a while and I really love the way it turned out!!   I know the shadings not perfet but all in all as a first try at shading I think it worked out. I also like how my Ponysona worked out I am still trying to work out my own style I will get there anyway enjoy comments and critiques welcome!

Looks good. Some bits are a bit light but I am a fan of high contrast.

 

Keep on working hard

I shall! thanks LiraCrown. I really enjoy shading never thought I would, but it really adds something to even a mediocre picture!

Thats one hell of a manly looking pony!  Would not want to have a bar fight with that guy...

 

Good job,  he has a lot going in personality given the image!

[Comrade Courage 653]

most people don't want to get in a bar fight with me, so I thought it should be the same for my ponysona! thanks Tao I'm glad that my art has personality.

I don't know what to say about this one, in a good way of course. But nice job nonetheless. I've lost my drive to draw 10 years ago, but seeing this, i might just pick it back up.

I like the detail on the hooves.  The shading looks good, but it seems a little inconsistent.  The direction of his shadow and his wing's shadow suggests a light source to his left / upper left, but the shading under his muzzle and on his forelegs suggests a light source in front of him.  If I shade, I try (emphasis on try lol) to pick where the light source is early on and to stick with it.  But very good for a first attempt, regardless.

I would be honored if I was the one to inspire you to take up drawing again truly

thank you! I am always glad to get feedback, I appreciate it  immensely!!   I was having trouble determining a light source, I will try to work on it. It is difficult but if it was easy everyone would do it! For future tries I will be more attuned to where the light is coming from
