Description
Now with 20% more colors! And Pinkie Pie still breaking the fourth wall. Double breaking even actually!
--- --- --- --- --- ---
I'm still struggling with my newest drawing and my attempt to finish it with Paint.NET or Inkscape/Ponyscape. So I decided to realise my plans of coloring some of my NATG III-drawings and started with Snuggle struggle (grey) . I brightened up and printed one of the outline versions of the original drawing that I scanned before I "colored"/greyed it and used these paled outlines as a basis.
This way I can also get additional practice with my watercolor pencils. Of which I bought some more again after I started this drawing and when realised that I can't get all the colors right, especially for Twili. That's why her coat is a bit "dirty" and uneven and, if you look closely, her mane has a different color than the tail. I uploaded an overview of all my pencils to my scrapbook and will add the list of colors I used here later.
/*Edit: So let's do this, before I completely forget what colors I used.
- Fluttershy mane / Pinkie Pie coat: 129 - pink madder lake
- Fluttershy coat: 102 - cream
- Fluttershy eyes: 276 - chrome oxide green fiery
- Applejack coat: 111 - cadmium orange
- Applejack mane: 102 - cream + 107 - cardmium yellow
- Applejack eyes: 112 - leaf green + 163 - emerald green
- Pinkie Pie eyes: 140 - light ultramarine
- Rarity coat: 230 - warm grey I
- Rarity mane: 141 - delft blue + 133 - magenta + 160 - manganese violet + some others for the gradients
- Rarity eyes: 140 - light ultramarine + 120 - ultramarine
- Twilight Sparkle coat: 141 - delft blue + 127 - light carmine
- Twilight Sparkle mane: I don't even remember..., for the tail: 247 - indanthrene blue and 160 - manganese violet and 127 - light carmine for the stripes
- Twilight Sparkle eyes: 160 - manganese violet, I guess
- everypony pupil: 199 - black
- everypony eye reflections and to some extent eye balls: 101 - white
- Red circles: 219 - deep scarlet red
- Yellow circles: 107 - cadmium yellow
- Green circles: 112 - leaf green
- Blue circles: 120 - ultramarine, I think
- and most important of all, the mat: 187 - light yellow ochre with very little pressure. Because you can't draw any picture without yellow ochre.
*/
Besides the pencils I used two brushes with water (of course...) and the india ink pencils in the end for the outlines. Only the text and the "speech balloon lines" are added with Paint.NET, everything else is traditional as usual.
I like the result. I already liked the original pencil drawing, but I think it really looks even better with colors.
Now it's time for Baumkuchen. If you don't know what Baumkuchen is go google it, get it and become happy!

Fluttershy, using Angle to hold your head up is cheating

Contrary to what SolarSpark says, I wish you had refrained from putting Twilight and Rarity in there. Or at least one of them. Maybe just had Rainbow keep her mouth shut so we could pretend she wasn't there? It could have been a cute, fun scenario, but with "all" six of them, it's just another in an endless stream of disheartening fan works that feature all six of Spike's [alleged] friends having fun without him.
*checks gallery*
And it looks like you've never drawn him. That's unsurprising.

That's nice to hear. Thanks for the explanation, and the kindly-worded response. Heaven knows my own choice of words wasn't very friendly.

I hate playing Twister in a group. Every time I do, somebody farts when we're all tangled together.

Yeah, I really wanted to include all of the Mane 6, so Rainbow Dash was planned as well. But I ran out of space so I made her the master of the spinner.
And thanks, I really like this pencils and the results. Due to the fact that they are water-based the use of brushes allow for a more clean and smooth style. And better colors as well.

I'm really impressed wit those cutie marks. I take it those were left as pencils instead of treated with water?

AbyssalEmissary In reply to ABronyAccount [2013-11-09 20:10:35 +0000 UTC]
Correct. I didn't use water there but just drew them with the dry pencils. Funnily enough I drew Rarity's cutie mark BEFORE I "watered" her coat, so I had to paint carefully around it. Thankfully the small brush made this easier than expected.

I imagine Pinkie would ace this game, is that one of her legs in the top right corner?
Cute drawing though! ^^
