I like to imagine that every pegasus preens but none of them ever talk about it or get taught how to do it. Just something they're all born knowing they have to do. So then all of them preen slightly differently but no one wants to ask how to do it correctly because they don't want to admit they do it. They just live in eternal question as to if they are doing it right or not.
As usual this drawing looks different from all the other drawings I've made. Why have consistency when you can just not. But I'm enjoying this new shading method. 100% hardness round brush with pressure opacity only. Oh also, the day I upload something not a few hours before the due date is the day I die.
