Walkingdragon 0 January 28, 2013 Share January 28, 2013 My name is Montana Gale, (as you can tell my Alias is Walkingdragon, I use it for a lot of registration usernames (see if you can find me)) I was recently told about Everfree by a friend who I found is addicted to MLP, I was brought to the Brony community (but never really joined) thanks to one of my RL friends who got me to watch the show. I have done some MLP Drawings (Which I will probably show later on if we get a media board) but I hope to meet some of you at this years Everfree event! P.S: Favorite pony = Fluttershy!

Walkingdragon 0 January 31, 2013 Author Share January 31, 2013 Wait so you drew yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratchet Wrench 3 February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 Not that particular picture, no. I do draw though. You can check out my stuff here: http://ratchet-wrench.deviantart.com/ Brony and US Coast Guardsman. I'm that awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkingdragon 0 February 1, 2013 Author Share February 1, 2013 Wow, you're really talented, as for your coloring pencils do you just go over them a few times to make it darker or do you use Photoshop for that? I draw them too, just not AS good as you http://walkingdragon.deviantart.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratchet Wrench 3 February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 Well, I use a set of 120 different colors so usually, I can just use a darker shade. But pressing harder works for fine shading. Plus, my pencils are water soluble so I can turn them into water colors too. I'ma have to check out your gallery. Brony and US Coast Guardsman.

Walkingdragon 0 February 1, 2013 Author Share February 1, 2013 Not as good as you :l All I do is freehand sketch D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratchet Wrench 3 February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 Well all my line art is hand drawn in pen and ink on paper. I just color by computer sometimes. I think I'm better doing it by Hoof. I have been drawing and sketching things for over 20 years. So that's why I seem to be so good, I have had lots of practice! What I'm saying is, keep practicing! You'll get there! You are already pretty good. Brony and US Coast Guardsman. I'm that awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkingdragon 0 February 1, 2013 Author Share February 1, 2013 Well I haven't drawn since I was 13 before these drawings, I started when I was 10, then stopped since I didn't have pencils in MX, as for computer drawing I can't do that with just a mouse, has to be a pencil like object and a touchpad... :l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratchet Wrench 3 February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 Sounds like you could use a tablet okay. Alot of bronies seem to like to. I like my tradtional way more though. Brony and US Coast Guardsman. I'm that awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkingdragon 0 February 1, 2013 Author Share February 1, 2013 I just can't handle using a mouse, hell I have to make lines through strokes because my hands are too shakey when they reach the paper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratchet Wrench 3 February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 Do what I do, light pencil lines first to get the right layout, then a nice smooth ink line for the outline, and go back and erase the pencil.

Walkingdragon 0 February 1, 2013 Author Share February 1, 2013 Kinda scared to do that, kneaded erasers tend to pick up EVERYTHING ;-; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetBoy 43 February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 Then maybe try doing what the professionals do... go to an art supply store, and find 'non-repo' light blue pencils/pencil lead (ask the staff if you're not sure, they should know what you're talking about if they're any good), and use that for the sketch outlines, then ink the lines you want, and scan in the result. The scanner won't pick up the blue lines, only the inked version. Or, while you're at the art store, look into buying what's known as an eraser shield: it's a thin metal stencil for use with erasers so you only erase what you want to. <a href='href='http://metpony.tumblr.com/' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Tumblr</a> - <a href='http://www.fimfiction.net/story/18958/equestria-trek-first-contact' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'>Rainbow Dash in a box.

Walkingdragon 0 February 1, 2013 Author Share February 1, 2013 Eh, I'll wait till my tax return gets here so I can just buy a tablet, I've found a few good cheap ones online for around $60-80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratchet Wrench 3 February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 Whatever, works for you, lol. I'm a little surprised you are having problems with an eraser picking up your ink tho. I don't think I ever had that problem. Brony and US Coast Guardsman. I'm that awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
