Description

Basically an excuse to re-try a different pen concept I did in art class back in high school. While digital programs are all well in good, traditional artwork created by ones hand’s instead of keyboards shows the time and composition one took to create a piece of work.
 
I love my pens, and three of the best ink techniques I recall from high school: hatching, cross hatching, and stippling(dots).
 
Of course, it’s not just a pen that can help you master such work. You could try with a pencil if you’re new at this and draw over it with pen, you could use a regular pen that you sign with, or even markers. The choice is yours and ink technique is a matter of understanding where you think shadows work best.
 
Just recently I applied up for an internship with Disney Animation Studios and sort of linked my DA website to them. May have been a regretful move in some cases but it’s better than sending them via packaging.
 
Wanting to show beyond just simple sketches, I decided to show that I’m capable of other styles of drawing, and can master with the ink pen(and future colored concept that I am currently working on).
 
When you think about what you want to sketch and try your luck in inking, you often choose the first thing that comes to mind. For me, it was Twilight Sparkle from Equestria Girls.
 
Let’s realize, as My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fans, that her hair flip is a vector very popular among most brony fanart. Wanting to try my hand at said picture, I couldn’t help but imagine how my MU OC Laura Sharp could look doing a move…despite not having any human hair. cartuneslover16.deviantart.com A few have told me that Laura seems to act like a total Twilight at times, though her panic attacks are more severe than the stress induced on Twilight, a la ‘Lesson Zero’.
 
It felt like high school art class all over again when I started doing the cross-hatching, my favorite of all the pen techniques. I do plan to create more fanart following this style and work on some poster-like material that’ll hopefully gain more recognition.

Why is there a patch of shading on her chest if the light is CLEARLY shining on it?

No, no, no! That’s not how you do that. You don’t just send them a link to your DA account. You have to make a portfolio showing only what you feel is your best work. I don’t think she’s taking this seriously at all. Gah!

Alright, Cartunes:
 
First of all, LAURA SHARP IS A GODDAMN MARY-SUE. Squishy was pretty much instantly in love with her, she’s one of the “scariest monsters at MU” with a famous scarer as a father, and EVERY SINGLE SORORITY was fighting to have her. Sound like a Mary-Sue to YOU? Oh, wait, you’re Cartunes. Of course not.  
On another note, her design COMPLETELY ripped off Toothless (but with rabbit legs.) I don’t care how “heavily inspired” you think she is, but SHE’S JUST A RIPOFF.
 
Second of all, I ACTUALLY LIKE MONSTERS UNIVERSITY quite a bit. You must seem to think that we don’t like some of your artwork because “we don’t know that much about MU.” Oh, I know about MU alright. I KNOW ABOUT EEK. I KNOW WHO BRYNN LARSON IS. Does this mean that I’ll like that ugly drawing of Brynn or that sloppy eyesore of a “motivational poster?” NO, IT DOESN’T.
 
Third of all, I don’t like this drawing, even if it was just Twilight Sparkle, sans Laura Sharp. It just seems a bit off.
 
Last of all, I cannot contain ALL OF MY RAGE about you and your “artwork.” I don’t want to spew out ALL of it here, since that would be too long of a comment.  
Thanks, and this is Background Horse signing off.
