First Time pony pic

Cute ;)

I really like her and your pics before that, considering you are rather new at drawing stuff like me :)

 

 

Have you ever considered to add some base shadings? It's pretty easy and might make your pics look even better :squee:

Anyways, keep it up!

Actually, that's what gets to me the most. I don't know exactly how to do shading with any of the programs. I use SAI...but I don't know how to do it. If it was on paper, I could shade all day XD

Thanks for your kind encouragement Felrora :)

@@Naive Wolf Josh,

 

Haha Thank you very kindly. It isn't my first time drawing but my first time drawing ponies. Even so, I haven't ever tried drawing them on paper XD It'd probably be a eraser-smudged-to-death drawing too then haha

Soo, here it is :)

 

This is how I'd shade it :P

Ofc this isn't the best method and I didnt put that much effort in it, but it works for me ;)

 

First off you start with creating a new layer and shade the whole painting with 50% grey. Set the opacity of the layer to 50%.

Next try to think of a light direction. Which parts of will be brighter/darker than others?

Generally round parts of the body are easy to shade since they will have the brightest part in the middle and the darkest parts on the edges (if that makes any sense).

Now to the hair and stuff... and dont forget to use the blur and smudge tool a lot to make shadows look smoother (I'm also still pretty bad at that).

Finish your picture by cleaning up all the excess grey (using the magic wand tool is a good option to do so)!

You will quickly get used to the graphics tablet, then you will never go back. I myself have a cintiq 21ux. (BEST purchase EVER!!!!)
