Why Am I Crying? Reading Chapter 7: Apple Bloom 3

Hey there, it's been quite a while! 4 months since the last chapter upload....oh jeez... a lot of things came up that I had to deal with and on top of that I was dissatisfied with my painting process and signed up to Schoolism to learn more painting principles and methods.

With this image I didn't use any phototextures like I have been doing for the previous images which made it look more painterly. I also painted in black and white values first before adding colour on overlay layers. This way I could make sure the focus of the image is Apple Bloom by creating contrast between her and the background. Illustration took around ~5 hours.

In this chapter we take a look at what Apple Bloom does with her newfound identity as a thief! Naw just kidding.... She delves deeper into Diamond's past and she doesn't like what she finds.
