Description

I was talking about drawing Ice1517’s two OCs, Golden Rose and Charred Smoke. This is the second of the two.
 
Unlike Golden Rose, Charred Smoke is a more tomboyish and she isn’t high class. She makes fireworks for a living. I was told by Ice to make her a bit bigger and buffer so she has a bit more meat on her bones compared to Golden Rose (and other ponies). I was also told to make her mane a bit on the messy side.
 
Things like Cutie Marks, eye details, tattoos, jewelry, and other accessories will be added when I digitally color the piece.
 
Her limbs were rather hard but I managed to pull off something that looked satisfying enough for me. Speaking of, I was debating on whether or not to give her fuzzy fetlocks like how some stallions do but I ultimately didn’t go that route (but if Ice likes that idea, I might incoperate it in the final colored version). Also, her wings were very difficult for me. Wings are so hard to draw. At first, I tried going with a more show-style version of the wings but I ultimately went with the more movie styled wings for two reasons:
 
  1. I find the show style wings harder to draw  
  2. I think the movie styled wings are more pretty aesthetically
     
    Speaking of wings, I think I improved a little bit with them. Compare this with my drawings of Fluttershy and Derpy and there’s an improvement here. (Though in those cases, part of it had to do with me drawing on scratch digitally. Even with a tablet, I find drawing things from scratch digitally a lot more difficult than traditionally. I need to work on that.)
     
    The pictures I used for reference were:
