Now with 20% more colors! And Pinkie Pie still breaking the fourth wall. Double breaking even actually!

I'm still struggling with my newest drawing and my attempt to finish it with Paint.NET or Inkscape/Ponyscape. So I decided to realise my plans of coloring some of my NATG III-drawings and started with Snuggle struggle (grey). I brightened up and printed one of the outline versions of the original drawing that I scanned before I "colored"/greyed it and used these paled outlines as a basis.

This way I can also get additional practice with my watercolor pencils. Of which I bought some more again after I started this drawing and when realised that I can't get all the colors right, especially for Twili. That's why her coat is a bit "dirty" and uneven and, if you look closely, her mane has a different color than the tail. I uploaded an overview of all my pencils to my scrapbook and will add the list of colors I used here later.





/*Edit: So let's do this, before I completely forget what colors I used.





- Fluttershy mane / Pinkie Pie coat: 129 - pink madder lake

- Fluttershy coat: 102 - cream

- Fluttershy eyes: 276 - chrome oxide green fiery

- Applejack coat: 111 - cadmium orange

- Applejack mane: 102 - cream + 107 - cardmium yellow

- Applejack eyes: 112 - leaf green + 163 - emerald green

- Pinkie Pie eyes: 140 - light ultramarine

- Rarity coat: 230 - warm grey I

- Rarity mane: 141 - delft blue + 133 - magenta + 160 - manganese violet + some others for the gradients

- Rarity eyes: 140 - light ultramarine + 120 - ultramarine

- Twilight Sparkle coat: 141 - delft blue + 127 - light carmine

- Twilight Sparkle mane: I don't even remember..., for the tail: 247 - indanthrene blue and 160 - manganese violet and 127 - light carmine for the stripes

- Twilight Sparkle eyes: 160 - manganese violet, I guess

- everypony pupil: 199 - black

- everypony eye reflections and to some extent eye balls: 101 - white

- Red circles: 219 - deep scarlet red

- Yellow circles: 107 - cadmium yellow

- Green circles: 112 - leaf green

- Blue circles: 120 - ultramarine, I think

- and most important of all, the mat: 187 - light yellow ochre with very little pressure. Because you can't draw any picture without yellow ochre.

Besides the pencils I used two brushes with water (of course...) and the india ink pencils in the end for the outlines. Only the text and the "speech balloon lines" are added with Paint.NET, everything else is traditional as usual.





I like the result. I already liked the original pencil drawing, but I think it really looks even better with colors.





Now it's time for Baumkuchen. If you don't know what Baumkuchen is go google it, get it and become happy!
