Cutie Mark Crusaders!

time: ~15 hours
size A2 carton paper
tools: Farber Castel pencils; pastel chalk

This is a project I worked on for a while now. And when I say a while, I mean it! -.-" Started at the beginning of January and had to finish it today in a rush because the deadline is tomorrow.
It was a real pain in the ass to draw it because I awfully suck at humans most of the time. This time I'm actually happy with the outcome of it. :3 Turns out I'm better with drawing kids than drawing adults. XD
The topic was "celebrating parties" and my first thought was: "I HAVE TO DRAW PINKIE PIE!" It would have been perfect. But when I overhtought it I realised that when I would have drawn a Pinkie-Pie-party, then I also would have to draw a lot of people (humanized ponies in this case) and I'm not capable of doing that! D: I discussed the topic with my art teacher and he said that ponies don't celebrate parties (what does he know? ). The only humas I was able to draw that looked actually good were kids (whyever that is so XD) and at the beginning of January I was kind of a huge fan of the Crusaders because I discovered the Ask-The-Crusaders-Tumblr and yeah, so I drew them! :3
It doesn't look like I imagined, but I hope it will do. It was such a headache to draw because this is an A2 paper! And when you thought that scanners are the worst enemies of an artist then you were wrong! My camera is way more evil! It screwed up so many colors and blurred so many details that I'm thinking about throwing it against a wall! D:< I edited as many things as I could with photoshop without letting it look too overedited. I hope this will do. :( Sorry for the crappy quality folks. When I get a better camera or an other opportunity to get this picture in a better quality then I'll reupload this!
I don't know if I am going to get it back though because my sis said something about selling these pictures at the celebratin they will be featured at! Ôo I'm gonna have a serious talk with my art teacher about that tomorrow! :/
But enjoy this for now. I fail at traditional art lately. XD Please no critique!
