I got a lot of drawing done during the slow periods at Youmacon!

Here’s a drawing of Hue Spectrum with colored pencils and sharpie on brown card stock. When I first started drawing and writing The Hues back in 1998, I did all my artwork with markers and colored pencils. 14 years and an art degree in digital media later, I feel like I’ve come full circle in drawing these characters again in their new forms with these pencils. (I seriously still have every colored pencil I’ve owned since junior high in a giant pencil box. It is awesome.)

I’m not 100% settled on what role the Hues’ uniforms will take on in the 2013 version, but I drew the girls in them anyway, just for fun. :)

Kez does not understand fashion, or trends, or what looks good and what looks bad. Kez does not care about such things. Kez is writing in the 3rd person because she has no idea what to wear to wedding in 3 days. Heeeeellllppp meeeeee (if you dare)

I think #4 looks very elegant! /kinda a fashiony person i guess

Lovely words from a friend of mine. 

“Hey. I don’t care what race you draw the ponies as. I hope you won’t care either. Don’t go bashing people for having a black Rarity, or a Muslim Fluttershy, and we won’t bother you for making them all 115 pound white girls. I happen to think they’re all cute, no matter how they’re drawn.”

Hey everyone, I’m going to be in the artist alley at Youmacon this weekend! I’m trying something new at this convention, and I’m going to be pushing my on-site commissions more than usual. I’ll be drawing on this 5.5 x 8.5 inch color cardstock with ink, pencils, and colored pencils.

Black and White will be $15.
Color will be $25.

I drew up these four samples to get me started! Wish me luck, come say hello if you’ll be there. :D
