Show accurate ponies are more about the proportions and style than the colouring, since they're flat with no shading most of the time. Show accurate shading is normally just single tone cel shading on the legs. I just shade in my style, which unfortunately doesn't translate to ponies all that well. The fact that my style is in a transition period doesn't help either :P
AAaallllso, I am going to be streaming for a bit, but non-pony stuff. I'll be discussing stuff with anyone who wants to talk though. Stream here
