I finished the art trade! Adding the lines back into the mane and tail only took me three full hours!;;;

While talking to a couple of people I know about the art trade piece above this one, one of these individuals was shocked to hear that it took me so long to do so little, saying “When you said it took three hours I expected to see each individual hair.” To this I grinned and retorted “I have a style that would let me do that in about twenty minutes.” I’ve known full well that I can do this since I’ve done it before, but when I realized just how long it’d been since I did I decided to “put my money where my mouth is” so-to-speak and actually do it. Guess what? I wasn’t kidding. And I didn’t use a special brush for it. I’m not done with it though, I’ll have to work on it some more tomorrow.

The style is somewhat emulating an artist I really like who goes by magicnaanavi on deviantart, but partly because I found out a while back that they actually use the same method for drawing hair that I do (but they’re better with the colors).
