There’s a couple things that PK does well:
But I think there’s also other details that I can’t immediately exactly say that call out to me a PK pic over others, I think it has something to do with the eyes, as her characters seem to come off more brighter (not in color, but personality) due to how she draws.
Show-style character vectors are pretty easy, but it’s all the little details and elaborate shading she puts in that are really time-consuming and can be hard to get right.
If I were drawing this scene I’d probably spend 2 or 3 times as much on the background as on Derpy, with all those color gradients, bushes, flowers, and grass strokes.
The nice thing is once you’ve done enough of them you have a big library of stock body shapes and objects saved up that it takes far less time to throw something together.
