Happy Valentine’s Day!

Filed Under: Avery

I'm Emilie, and I started my first blog, "A Blond, Brunette, and a Redhead" in 2012, as a way to share my journey to Grand Prix dressage with my Haflinger, Abercombie. In 2016, I combined my art with my blog under the name Because Pony. Now, I want to help inspire other young equestrians to accomplish their horse-related and creative goals, too!

And now for something a little different...going through a tutorial from @aaronblaiseart and following along as he paints a lion in #procreate (original reference is his). I find that, for me, the best way to learn new art techniques is to copy what I see. After that, I start to put my own spin on things!

I love this tutorial so far because it’s like the digital version of how I most enjoy painting traditionally - layers of wet watercolor washes first, then layers of progressively more detailed work in charcoal and colored pencil or pastel.

I still have some more work to do on this, but I think it’s looking really cool so far!

I’m loving the feel of the graphite brushes in Procreate- they act exactly like real pencils!

Procreate is my new best friend. Thanks to @aaronblaiseart (who is having a sale!) for the inspiration - studying his “Drawing Wolves” course and wanted to try drawing one of my favorite Theo photos with a traditional feel. So much fun!!
