i really hate her mane

Often, I find myself wondering just how much I could accomplish in life if I stopped drawing ponies all the time. This cognitive dissonance is usually remedied by drawing more ponies.

anyway, yeah. Celestia. JESUS FUCK that mane is complicated. I asked myself why I had never attempted a digital Celestia...now I know why. DAT MANE. And does anyone have any tips for doing digital lineart? It's always given me trouble.

This is a bit of practice/promo art for my upcoming askblog, in which Luna and Celestia will respond to viewer questions with illustrated story arcs. It'll have comedy! Drama! Plot elements of the show explained! Copious amounts of feels! And pretty pony princesses!
Yeah, yeah, I know there are plenty of royal sisters askblogs, but I have yet to find one that I myself really liked. More promo art later.

Edit: Don't ask me where her cutie mark is. I'll knife you.>:I
