MY GOD THIS THING IS HUGE.

Several people have asked how I do the lines of my pony art, if I use vectors or the pen tool, and whatnot. And the answer is no! I just use a regular old brush. And an eraser, the eraser is important.

This is like the worst "tutorial" ever, but people really seemed to want it, so. :T You were warned; there isn't any special technique or anything that I use, it's just make line -> erase excess -> erase to point. Art can be pretty boring sometimes. Maybe someone will get something out of it anyway?

Color will up once I finish assembling the screencaps (I forgot to finish Luna's eyes at first so I have to go add that back in, sigh).

Thank you! My lineart looks so pro now *_*

So... this is how everyone makes such pro lineart for ponies. The eraser trick helps a lot.

What brush do you use? Is it one of the brushes that automatically comes with Photoshop?

Yep, just a normal round hard brush. These are the exact settings if you're interested. c:
