Description
Sketchy skecthy shady shady. My first attempt at doing a half decent MLP drawing. What do ya'll think of Big Mac's sister in this manga style, yes/no/maybe?Related content

Anyone can be good at art, all it takes is time and patience. The only reason I can do this is because I took art at GCSE. Even then I couldn't draw for squat. Only in the last few months, leading up to the exam, did I begin to be able to draw (so to speak). Like any skill it takes practice

Seriously! How did you do the shading?
Which pencil do you use ? Then what?
.....I'm hopeless....

Right so the shading...
It's just, shading you know?
Smudging and stuff, you know how to smudge?
I used 3H for sketching it out, as in drawing the guidelines and then the face and mane. Used a rubber to rub out all the lines outside of the face that I didn't need. You can keep in the guidelines inside the face as the shading covers them. Next I used a 2B to go over the lines and make them stand out. I then done the mane and then the eyes. Then I just used the excess pencil that you always get on you hands whilst drawing stuff such as this to begin to smudge. I smudge the pencil in the direction that it should be going. That's about it really, I use cartilage paper which does help, as the good quality keeps the picture crisp. If you want a real tutorial I could make one sometime.

The face shading yush? Not the thousands of lines for the hair?

I knew I forgot to do something...
Shouldn't be a problem though, I'll just have to find a minute rubber is all.
