Just drawing my OC with the little drawing skills I have, but it is fun. Also, I need a new user page. Here what I have so far...
Pinkie Pie is my waifu, and she will ever four ever be my waifu... not yours.

Thanks. I think I sat here for a good 5 hours just working on the eyes and the hair... I suck at drawing.

That's totally fine. There was this time I spent like 10 hours on a same drawing and it ended up looking really bad D:
Keep going at it until you feel what you're drawing is okay. :P
2686323 I will. I might hold it off for a couple days because I would like to work on experimenting with the program to see what everything does. Also, I should mess around with some basic stuff to figure out shading and lighting. This drawing is way out of my league for what I am expecting to make it look like. Once I get the shading down though, it will be golden. (err more sunset orange than gold)

Shading can be done easily if you don't complicate yourself way too much. I've never tried shading in GIMP though, so I can't exactly help you at all in there D:
Since I don't have a tablet as of lately, I've been using Photoshop CS6 to pass my trad. drawings into a digital form. Waaaaay too complex, I know, but oh well at least it works.
I do wish you luck on this though :3

As far as what it seems, I've been able to get a shading effect by getting one of the colors will less value and lowering the opacity. Then I stroke over a spot and create layers over another, and it gives me a decent shade. That, or I use the burner, which I am still trying to work out so it doesn't look weird.
Hehe, that's what I did with my current avatar. It was a pain, but it worked out in the end. It's nice though that I am learning a lot without realizing it, so I can do things faster than I used to.

I've used several layers to make the shading become a real thing. It works in the end, kind of..

lol. Yeah it works sometimes for me and others... well, yeah. Oh, I like your avatar picture! Maybe I should change my picture to a pony with a top hat and a mustache.

Top hats and moustaches are too manly for me
but sure they are awesome
