Description
This was done for /r/MLPdrawingschool's 20th biweekly challenge. The challenge was to draw something with a lot of space.I also wanted to try and draw another cute Fluttershy. This is unfortunately one of the worst things I have drawn in awhile I think.
This was featured on EQD [link] I'm surprised.

Thanks glad you like it. Didn't intend any FlutterDash but I guess it ended up that way.

It probably didn't help that I was reading/looking through the drawfriend where this was featured and they had some FlutterDash. Once I see a ship I like, I see subtext everywhere.
(Yes, I'm a silly pony.)

Yeah they did have some FlutterDash in that one. I don't mind that ship at all and I can see it now.

Very adorable! I love the mane on Fluttershy! <3

Thanks oddly I thought I completely messed up her mane.

Nah you did fine! It's very pretty. ^.^

Nah it can't be bad! Maybe her head mane angles a bit weirdly with the light play.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah the angle in the mane was really weird from this perspective.

I feel the two light patterns you use conflict a bit and make it look a bit weird.

Well at least your stuff is original and nice! I'd say keep it up!

Hey glad you think so. I will definitely keep going. I already came up with a random Pinkie Pie drawing idea I wasn't to get started.

Cool, should be once again a fine work. It's also quite nice that you have a personal style, your own touch so to say.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks. Its weird the only thing I really do different from show style is a slightly bigger head and no outlines, and somehow thats now my style.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well it works fine. With colour you are able to add so much more to an image too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah thats my current goal, learning to use color.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Do you draw with soft contours or still use the black lines for most of the stuff?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Black lines mostly then I put the color under it. I end up using a ton of layers.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
luckily by playing around with that you can literally build up a drawing. For example, I haven't figured out yet how to properly do light spots with pencil.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah it makes experimenting with stuff like anatomy, and the setting pretty easy too. As for light spots with pencil I have no idea either haha.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Isn't also a superuseful thing the fact that you can instantly remove a line until you are satisfied with it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah that is useful, but what I find myself doing is adding a ton of lines then erasing bits of each until I get the line I want.

I saw something with special sketch lines which were really light and near transparent, over which then the other drawing was done.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thats actually similar to what I do, but I know I don't do it the exact same way.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
DO you use the regular lines then and then make a new layer on top of the "sketch"?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Close I have a full sketch as the top layer and then make all the layers under it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You build downwards? How does that conveniently work? I would assume you draw on top of the former lines, how are you sure your lines are as you want when you can't see them?(or do you make em transparent)?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not entirely sure how I do things. I basically just have the sketch on top, and its pretty easy to see if a line is correct or not. I can always alter the transparency of any layer or is it opacity I can't remember. I just work with a lot of layers.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If its the most convenient then I have no comment up it now do I
Do you put a lot of layers to build up on top of each other or are they separate parts?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well it really depends on whats in the drawing, but I normally do both.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Works, also sorry for the hailstorm, It's always interesting to hear how people do it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Its not a problem. I don't mind talking about that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Phew luckily. When do you draw anyway, just inbetween stuff or do you really sit down to it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I normally draw at the end of the day. Its the only time I really am able to draw, thats actually what I'm doing now just trying to get a good picture in my head for the 21st biweekly.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Got the song fixed in your mind already?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope. I'll keep looking though. I have most of the day tomorrow anyway.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahh always enough time. So hows that applebloom tinkered mech coming along 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I always find some time. Haha yeah that one drawing kinda died off for me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Gheh no worries it was mainly to get your thinking back in the running I guess
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah it definitely did that. Now I have to actually finish a drawing. I have about 5 rough sketches started but I'm not really attached to any of them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh glad it did, so the sketches are more random doodles which just flew out I guess.
How is it for you that you get attached to one, like you feel this is loaded with "something"?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I have done a few random doodles, mostly practicing with unique poses.
When I get attached to a drawing, I see more in it if that makes sense. Its not just something that was fun to do, its something I felt had to be done and I really wanted to do it. Its weird, like right now I have an idea for a Pinkamina drawing that I can't wait to sit down and do.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well then do it! You're good and people should see you express yourself!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The problem is finding the time.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aye, bad luck with the crash though...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah… I'm currently trying to redo it and I'm stuck on the eyes which were amazing before the crash just have to recreate those somehow.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Rack your brain! You can do it!
