Hot chocolate and marshmallows

As I did last year I was on Dusty's Christmas Eve livestream link doing a livestream drawing to help raise money for Second Harvest Food Bank. link  There were several requests from the audience for me to draw Princess Celestia, and one request in particular for her to be drinking hot chocolate by the fire. That idea tickled my fancy and this was the result.

I had about an hour and twenty minutes to do the piece and I had back up and redo part of it, and in a perfect world with more time I'd do a few things differently but overall I'm happy with the outcome. Congratulations to whoever won this piece. I'll spray it with some fixatif and get it back to Dusty so he can ship it off to you.  I also want to thank everyone who donated last night to help make it a successful donation drive! Finally I want to say thanks to Ingrid Nilson, the voice actress for Maude Pie, for taking the time from her Holiday schedule to be on the broadcast!

FYI. I will probably be back on New Years Eve doing a similar type drawing donation if everything works out right. Happy Holidays!

Woohoo! This piece just made Draw Friends on Equestria Daily! And Ingrid Nilson retweeted the image twitter.com/yogiingrid/status/…
