Centauria Cineraria 3.0

Ok, here's the deal with this centaur. Not too long ago, I figured out this amazing thing called "multiply layers" which allows your pencil/pen/whatever sketch to be digitally colored over without damaging your initial lines. It was, like, a huge breakthrough for me, and has certainly changed my art for the better. So, the first drawing I made using that new technique was a little reclining centaur (which I still have up here on DA-->evollusive.deviantart.com/art/… based on a plant called dusty miller which--ironically--had the latin name "centauria cineraria" Neat, huh?

So, fast-forward about a year , and I get a tablet. Again, another tool which has greatly helped to improve my art. And again, what character do I choose to draw with my shiny, awesome, new tool? This Centauria Cineraria. And totally unintentionally, at that.

So, here you go: Centauria Cineraria 3.0, my first tablet sketch, and something I've been pecking away at for the last 6 months or so.

I hate that I even have to put this here, but here goes: STOP RIGHT THERE!
