Since I got my pen pressure back I decided to celebrate with a purely digital drawn painting and despite the major flaws, I'm just happy I managed to draw what I really wanted. I have always had this love for pegasi swimming like swans ever since Disney's Fantasia (if you are one of those poor, depraved souls who have never had the fortune of seeing this movie, YOU NEED TO.) So of course, one day I thought of doing it for Celestia.

Despite my inexperience in digital execution, I feel I am working in my colors better. Fact is, this might have come off better if I had traditionally drawn it before digitally painting it, but practice makes perfect right?

Now as to the subject matter, Celestia here has pink hair. I am going off the headcanon (canon?) that Celestia grew up with pink hair and gained different streaks of color as she aged (or something). Unlike other ideas I support my artwork with, my ideas for Celestia are not as well researched or thought of. I am literally working off other headcanon depictions of Celestia that I am content with.

One of my problems with drawing purely digitally is the lineart. I cannot, for the life of me since I got my wacom some years ago, have never been comfortable with digitally inking. Perhaps my 4x6 drawing space on the wacom is too small? I have bad wrist movements and don't use my arm enough? Whatever the case is, lineart does not work for me unless it is made by a physical pencil. On another note, I am very happy with how her legs underwater came out and the water in general.

I think i need to purchase a color wheel, since my school's foundation classes were apparently a failure, but I will go into that in a journal.

Feel free to critique, hopefully you guys will say something i haven't already thought of after submitting it to DA.
