Pupil’s first morning.

Time to wake up and learn you some studies!

Science has proven that sleepovers improve studies by 16%.

I fidgeted with this image more than I should have. It took a lot longer than it should have. I’m about 85% happy with the results. I avoided real shading due to the way in which I colored the image. I could have re-colored it, but I’m itching to move onto other drawings.

This image originally started out as a sequel to my, “Bring forth the day”, and, “Bring forth the night” images. It was to have both Celestia and Luna with the sun and moon on their respective sides.

I then tried drawing Celestia’s wings at their full wingspan. It looked horrendous and I could not get the wings to look right. I abandoned and almost stopped working on the image. I then came back and popped lil’ Twilight on there and the rest is history.

This image was …
Sketched in OC4.
Inked in Paint Tool SAI.
Sketched on some more in OC4.
New sketching was inked in OC4.
Flat colors in OC4.
Highlights, overload of bloom/glows done in Paint Tool SAI.

I think I covered everything.

OH NO SMALL KNIVES, MY ONLY WEAKNESS.

Edit: I’ve seen that bookmark before …
