Sweetie Belle: "Hey Rarity, how do I look?"



Rarity: *faints*







Wow! I should probably fill this out now, seeing as someone liked it enough to add it to #Sweetie-Belle-Lovers! (Thanks, whoever did that!)



Topic: Draw a pony getting a makeover/Draw a pony using (or abusing) mousse.



Obviously I should have drawn a moose. But I wasn't prepared to take the time to do that, and this idea kind of bubbled up, so I went for it.



I like the proportions here, but I think the lower stroke for the body is a bit too curvy. The line, moving from front to back, should probably stay a little flatter before smoothly (but quickly) curving upwards. Also, the nose was kind of a botched job because I was running out of time and didn't want to bother much with it.



Another thing that I think I'll start to look at a little more closely now is getting the hooves right. She's supposed to be facing slightly forward, even with her body, and the curvature of the bottom stroke on each leg should respect that. Maybe I'll break out Photoshop's perspective grid for the first time purposely /)^3^(\



Overall, though, I'm rather happy with her. I could actually even say that I really like her mane. *dodges rocks*



Critique is wholeheartedly appreciated. In fact, I need some advice: what more can I do to screw up her makeup believably? I'll try to implement whatever I can when I fix this drawing up in the coming months!
