EDIT : This has been shaded and completed! The mixed-media thing actually worked like a charm. and it was pretty fun and simple to do since I decided to leave the background blank. :3 The tools used to create this is:



-Sketchbook (original sketches composed there)

-Photoshop (separate drawings were placed together, lined, then flat-colored)

-Acrylics (watered-down top accommodate the grade of paper, but still acrylic)

-Permanent black sharpie (for specific areas that needed retouches)



That's just for anyone who's curious as to what I used to finish this image. :3 But yeah, it was a bunch of fun, and it's probably a method I'll try out again at some point. But at least now I have an actual original painting (alongside the original sketches) of this image so I can frame it and sell it at Bronycon. ^.^

As for the image itself… this is more or less a successor to this:







I draw the Mane 6 a lot but I’ve noticed that I don’t necessarily draw them interacting much, which is something I’d like to change. So to kick it off, this is what I came up with! The girls and Spike are taking a well-deserved vacation and asked some passerby to take a group photo of them. Everypony, smile!

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy it so far! ^.^
