Facts about this drawing:

Time spent: Around 3 hours 30 minutes non-stop
Program: Photoshop
Tool: Drawing tablet

I used these tutorials to help:
Hair shading tutorial by SilentWulv — mostly for the bit about using the selection for colouring in, that saved so much time!

Simple shading tutorial by Celebi-Yoshi since I wanted some sort of cell shading effect as the soft shade I had didn't look quite right, the shading example helped me do mine. Also I always tend to use overlay a lot for everything as well ; )

I also referenced some screenshots of the show to help with the pose, I think it was a picture of Twilight from one of the Crystal Empire episodes, but I somehow managed to lose the link so I'll put it in here when I find it again : )

Also, I'm sure this background style has been done before, however I don't know where I saw it so if you know an artist known for doing this, I'll credit them for the idea!
