I’ll be the first to say this one is kinda rough and probably could’ve been better. My primary struggle with duo pics is sizing, due to the limited space. My tendency is to draw figures too large to leave room for multiple characters to be fairly visible, so I often have to scale them down, then back up a bit, until I get a proper size that I’m comfortable with. Add my obnoxiously unsteady hands into the mix, and it’s a bit harder to get smooth, clean lines at a smaller scale, hence some of the sloppier lines here, among other issues. The sizing concerns can also lead to my bad habit of making a figure relatively bigger or smaller than I would otherwise. Luckily in this case, there is obviously meant to be a size discrepancy, so it wasn’t too much of an issue, haha!
That being said, Soarin was probably the trickiest of the two because I have less experience with drawing male bodies (and it shows). I didn’t want to make him too scrawny since he’s still an experienced Wonderbolt and I think deserves a pretty cut physique to match; he shouldn’t be a twig, just a twig compared to Dash. I do feel like I might have made him just a smidgen skinnier than was intended, but it’s certainly close. Overall, I quite like the size difference between them.
I really dig “big girl, small guy” dynamics and I’ve always had a soft spot for Clippercrash; putting both together for this is a pretty awesome way to get a feel for drawing pairs. It’s a sort of idea I’ve had for quite a while, so it’s great to actually put it to paper for once, even if it’s rough. Life’s been a beach as of late, so this has helped my mood a bit.
As always, thanks for checking it out and feedback is always welcome!
