Description
Well, I'm a little late for Christmas on this, but oh, well. It's my second submission for the 's week 79 theme: draw a festive pony. Twi's totally being sneaky and staying up waiting for pony!Santa. He'll never suspect a thing.Been pushing a little harder blending this time around, using anywhere from one to three extra layers depending on the part of the picture in question. Hopefully it pops a bit more than my previous colour works.

Overall I must say that I do like how it turned out! The shading, although it could use a bit of work, is smooth and has a glowing feel to it :3 You did a good job of blending as well. I rally like how you handled the pine branches! Now for the critique part-
Twilights eyes look a little strange, and I think the main reason for that would be those white lines along the outside, but that's fixable. Maybe it's just me, but the way her hair comes around her horn also looks a bit off. Her facial anatomy does look a little misshaped, but you should worry about that much for now. Texturing looks good for small areas, but larger ones like the rug seem a bit rushed. I also noticed you have a couple "white glow" areas where different colors meet, but those are minor and hardly noticeable e.deviantart.net/emoticons/let⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="
Sorry if I was a little too harsh! I'm not used to giving critiques-

Yea, I tried to go for some softer shading here, which, when combined with my blending attempts might have caused them to get a little wishy washy.
I'm not really sure what you mean by the white lines around the outside. The closest thing I can think of are the stripes of violet irises.
Hmmm, yea, I suspect in my attempts to do the bangs as squished down by the box lid, I might have pushed it too close to the horn in the wrong way. Can't believe I missed the minor line goof there too.
With everything other than Twi and the present, I was trying to do that kind of "out of focus" thing and have them be just vaguely detailed. I don't think I did it right if the impression you got was that it was oddly textured, though.
And no, I didn't think it was too harsh at all. Thanks for your feedback.

Oh, I didn't exactly see the blur effect there, but perhaps with a little more practice :3

Heh, the perfect plan to meet Santa! After all, only a filly can sneak inside a wrapped present and look so cute coming out of it.

Aw... What a cute little filly! Reminds me of Lady popping out of her box when she was a puppy!

I remember doing that when I was a kid.
In fact, I used to crack open an old drawing program on our then-current IBM clone to draw up the floor plan of the living room and block out the positions of the tree, furniture, large presents, etc., hoping to map out the best place to hide and catch a peek at the big guy.

Awww... she looks so cute. I do have to ask, what did you use to color this?

Thanks.
And to answer your question: Prismacolor pencil crayons.

You're welcome.
I was thinking crayons of some kind.
