AdrianBrony;
Do you have any suggestions for executing said blushes to your satisfaction? I'm working with Primsacolor medium and soft density colored pencils over marker. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. ^__^ - Flopple |
| AdrianBrony #535997 9 months ago |
sorry, no offense. I'm just saying what I see.
if anything, make it more like rarity's than fluttershy's here. |
| AdrianBrony #536000 9 months ago |
the problem is usually when you try to make it show over colors. you end up having to make it either too dark or too blatant and that makes it look more like a burn than a blush. |

Yeah, Rarity's looks the way I'd like them to. Sadly using traditional media it's very hard to achieve this unless you paint it on over the darker color and then color that area in. Do you know of any ways to do this reliably and easier? All I want to do is make my art acceptable!

oh it's still acceptable I'm just saying maybe experiment with the media until you find something that works. make some color squares of different colors and try making a decent looking blush on them.
maybe if they were a bit thinner it could help as well. |

I've put a good deal of thought into this, believe it or not... my general practice has been to emulate the eastern techniq |

I've put a good deal of thought into this, believe it or not... my general practice has been to emulate the eastern technique of drawing blushing because in the west we haven't really come up with a very reliably expressive way of emulating how that emotion looks. This of course is a color swatch with a number of brighter colored diagonal lines over it... however, on ponies, the diagonal lines tend to look garish. I've been eliminating them recently to I think greatly improved effect.
The problem is that you can't really draw a blush, it's always going to be a stylization, so it's always going to have to be either a weird color blob or some diagonal lines. Looking back over my art I think I've noticed that the diagonal lines without the color blob are perhaps best at visualizing a blush; perhaps I should stick to those. At any rate, thanks! - Flopple |

I see that most of the comments thus far have been criticism, so I'll just go ahead and say that this is very cute. |
