This took me a week to draw and plan out.



#1: This part took me around 4 hours in total time (I did this in art class and it's like 52 minutes long so 240/52 = 4.62 days). Getting the outlines may seem simple but it's a lot harder than it seems though because getting the lines in place must be perfect, especially doing it free-handed: one example is Fluttershy's wings, I realize the wings were too close to the neck and I had to change it. I used a HB pencil and a picture of the original I printed out as a reference. I tried using a grid but the poster is out of ratio of the print out and things got harder.



#2: I used "Prang" and "Prisma Colors" colored pencils for the Mane Six and the background. The criteria for the project is I must include circles for color transitions so that's why you see those blue violet circles. The ponies were really hard to color in since I have limited colors (and they all have unique colors) to use and it's almost impossible to erase out the colored pencil, that's why you see some purple on Rarity's ear. this took another 4.62 days to complete



#3: I then took it home and finished it there. It taken me 5 hours in total and I dragged it out for a week and a half because **** you, I'm Spiderman of Skyrim. The color transitions were tedious, sometimes I got confused and get the colors outside the lines. So a bunch of broken pencil tips and 7 ounces worth of pencil sharpenings on my lap later, I got my blending pencil and blended out the colors and outlines and PRESTO! I'm done!



It would be nice if you thumbed this because I might get pissed and disappointed if this gets buried in the Newest Upload Section.
