:Updated: - Now completely inked! I will be coloring these in soon as new submissions.
This is something I don’t do often… or at all tbh, but I finally got around to practicing my sketching on SAI with this pencil setting I acquired from a friend and.. well… To be very frank, I think this looks really good as is! I was amazed how well it all came out. It looks A LOT better than just doing it with pencil and paper, which I have been basically doing since I started submitting to dA… so I guess this is it, a farewell to scanning my pics, and just doing all my sketching on SAI.
That being said, something else also bugs me… and the reason why I decided to upload this is, since, for some odd reason, I don’t like uploading sketches to begin with since I like finishing all my work… However, this looks really good as is… and this brings me to what bugs me about how I currently ink, color and shade things.
My question to my fellow artists who use Sai, I ask, what are your methods for inking, coloring and shading in this program? I usually use the pen tool simply since I like the straight line thickness but I am wondering if that is truly the way to go for this sort of thing, like if you feel there is a better way to sort of ink pictures, like maybe various methods with the brush or airbrush tool, please go ahead and say, I would love to hear it. Although, if you feel like what I am doing now is good enough, also do speak up about that too, I would love to hear tips!
Oh and yea, I probably should explain the pic itself. After Christmas, I will be doing a series of female muscle anthro pony pics, if it wasn’t obvious enough, as well as some female muscle Adventure Time fanart, so be sure to expect a lot of fanart for the latter part of the month into early January.
Most likely will scrap this later on but I just want to keep it up for now since I felt this was a really good sketch and I want to hear people’s thoughts on the piece and any advice they could give me when concerning how I ink and shade stuff in SAI.
Anyways, hope you all enjoy!

RUN OR SHOOT?!
Well, okay. Not always there, but only on very rare occasions.
But I draw the line at the point where it looks like they can’t properly move their limbs.
