MLP: "Black Panther" Parody

[PacificGreen 1,163]

Hi,

I've been trying for a while to improve on this drawing. It's supposed to be a parody of that one scene from Marvel's Black Panther but with two of my favorite BG ponies as T'Challa and Nakia XD

I'd like to know if you think there's any aspect of this that can improve? I'm specifically most concerned with the background details (like the cars), the foreground interior, body proportions and especially lighting (seriously, it's pretty hard to draw reflections on a metallic car). Also do you think this could use some blur or motion lines to give a sense of speed?

Thanks!

I'd almost say that the foreground car needs a bigger tire. Whenever I'm not sure of how to draw something, I keep a reference right next to me and work with that. Reflections on things like glass and metal tend to be pretty crisp, so that might also be a thing that you'd want to experiment with. You can also give a sense of movement by making the hair/wings look ruffled or brushed back - even tipping the hat up a little like it's about to fall off, if they're going really fast!

Don't be afraid to experiment with techniques or look up references. I'm really liking this piece overall though, I can tell that you've put a lot of work into it!
