Rarity Discovers

[NewCalamity 3,454]

I actually got around to having another go at a drawing. This idea came to me and went through a few prototypes and sketches, when I came to realization that this would bea suitable image. My subject would be Rarity again, of course! I could try and make a legitimate excuse as to why I drew her again but I'll have to admit I'm just a complete sucker for her. xD

 

I decided that this drawing would be to test my application of shading on a character. Originally I was going to incorporate her into a scene of a cave in Terraria for Gizmo and Zoop's pleasure, but then after attempting a proper background for almost a day I ultimately decided to practice backgrounds for later. Right now, for this picture my focus would be shading and proper proportions.

 

 

The yellow smudge would be the rough area where the light is coming from, to give me a reference as to how to shade her body. Mainly an experiment and practice, I felt that the drawing came out rather nicely. Went through quite a few little changes here and there, overall, happy with the final product!

 

All in all, as I am constantly striving to improve, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you kindly!

I love it!

 

If there's any criticism I'll give is that her outline seems a bit weird like a bunch of shorter lines as opposed to a clear black lining.

 

(I'm not good with art terms, I hope you know what I mean )

You're making very good progress with your drawings, I'd say. I somewhat regret that you decided against going with the background as you originally intended, but your reasons for holiding off on it make sense.

 

You'll have to revisit the picture later on when you're more comfortable doing full backgrounds - I'd like to see that treasure room of ours illustrated properly - perhaps with one of those suspicious looking eyes we keep locked down there poking out at her from somewhere.

The lines feel really jagged. There isn't much else to say here, other than I've seen a lot of works in this very same pose so that it feels uninspired to me. It's very standard in my opinion. I don't think that a number score would be applicable here.

This is amazing

still room for improvement, but fantastic nonetheless you've got quite the mastery over photoshop.

I...am uncertain as to what she has discovered here.

 

Other than that, I think you should make the, what I'm assuming is, pencil outlining on Rarity thicker since the smaller picture makes it very strange to look at, like it's extremely choppy and zaggy all around. That, and try to her a curvier neck, might help here.

To me it looks off, the outlining is a bit weird and not together, i think her body has to be a bit longer width wise, and her tail is to big and its curls need to be closer together.

In addition to what everyone else has said, the tail is way misaligned. It's supposed to look like it starts from the center of back but it looks like it starts all the way to the left (or right from rarity's perspective).

 

Good drawing nonetheless.
