Princess Cadance

Gotta say, I think she's my favorite princess from MLP ^^ (possibly my favorite pony? not sure!)
Her personality, and her happy colors <3

I haven't used my pastels in years, but wanted to try something other than digital art for Ipun's mini contest (MLP MINI CONTEST! LAST DAY!)
SO I dug out my pastels and some textured paper I had and did this! It was definitely fun, and I'm definitely gonna try doing this again!
Gotta say though, when I first started drawing this I almost gave up because it was shapeless and didn't look like it was going anywhere--afterall, I more or less "forgot" how to use pastels. Eventually the details pulled things together though, and I'm really really happy with how it turned out!

The actual drawing is 8.5x11 inches
