Title: Family Portrait
Media: Photoshop CS3 & Wacom Tablet

Inspired by *bardicsidhe's lovely drawing of her character, Dewfire, and her foal (sired by Deneskin).

I just felt compelled to do a whole family shot, just because.

Note to self: Avoid sketching full pictures with tablet, as it is very difficult and super time-consuming.

^waves^ =D!! Lineart came out very clean. Can tell you spent alot of time on it too O.O;;

Are you gonna color it too?

Eeee! Yes, sketching with the tablet IS very tedious and time-consuming, especially if you're sketching to create line-art that's so incredibly clean. You have far more patience than I, Lightstep, and it shows. I've always liked your style of drawing equines. :D

Do you have plans to color it?

(Also, Dewfire was quite taken with Deneskin. *grin* Depending on mutual willingness of all parties involved, I may be requesting another breeding to see what other colors those two are hiding. ;) )

They all look so cute! I love how you can almost see what they are thinking.

Aww thanks hun :XD: :blush: I've realized that to achieve patience with artwork, I need good music, snacky-bits and an instant messaging program on. Oddly enough, I enjoy talking to people while I work. It turns out nicer for some reason o.O Who knew.

I am hoping to get up the courage to color it. I will probably do it in a more messy style, so I don't lose my motivation for this piece. Messy is good, so hopefully that'll work out okay, hehe.

(Ooooo... Deneskin is flattered ;) Such a pretty mare after him :giggle: Sounds like it would certainly be interesting! I can only imagine what kind of resessive genes these two have. Pretteeeh)

:glomp: Thanks so much :D

I hope to color it. It'll depend on how insane I am to continue on with this today. I probably will end up throwing colors together.... This trio is too colorful not to! :D
