Taking a short break from my Equestria dreamscape for a bit of practice. This is color study I did recently of Princess Celestia. I really don't consider it a finished piece, and I did it to test out what colors I would need to recreate her mane and tail. Also tried an idea for the sparkles in them to. I am happy with her cutie mark and the her pectoral piece.
Results are okay. I didn't attempt to render as much detail in mane as probably should have, but that is why this is a color study. Also I want to thank Smudge who provided some useful anatomy tips that I think made the piece a lot stronger. I'll be doing one of Luna sometime in the future to.
