Not exactly easy when you consider there is only the vaguest of shape similarities and a color scheme to tie them together.
Well without the dresses that is.
Well the show's style uses very few body types, the only major differences coming from eye shape, colours and mane. So I don't think the challenge is any different.
And you managed to make the outfits look secure on their bodies! That had to be difficult!
Kind of.
The secret is you draw the whole body shape first, then you drape the clothes onto it and just 'run the simulation' as it were for cloth.
Really I've said this to many people in person but it always seems like good advice.
Visual art is just like seeing, but backwards.
Your brain KNOWS what it should look like.
You just have to get the fingers and brushes to put it in the right place.
although lately I've actually been getting my body language right on the first or second try.
But then again I've spent more then 1000 images and a year of my life working on my most recent project and getting these characters to emote so that probably is just practice makes perfect.
If you'd like to see the fruits of those labors I've left it linked in my latest journal entry.
It gets into a lot more on what these critters that I adapted the mane six into actually are and how they live.
But been too much of a lazy bum to do it.
Its in my scraps and also on Derpboo.ru
