Alright guys, it’s time for our second installment this week! We welcome you back to joining us on Helix Week, where we honor and show off blogs done using hand-drawn and pencil-to-paper as the style. Doesn’t matter if your artistic medium is crayons, markers, or colored pencils, whatever works here is fine. We’ll be showing off blogs that can be either popular, well designed, high quality art, or just simply ingenius. All in an effort to show you guys that your artwork IS valuable, even if you’re not able to use programs or stylize them like other artists do.

So tonight we have a pencil-to-paper blog! It’s Ask Winter Berry!

Quite the cutie isn’t she? This is Winter Berry! She runs a local pastry shop in Ponyville and picks fresh berries each day to mix with her baked goods.

She’s pretty adorable, and I’m sure you all will warm up to her rather quickly. Now why do I love this blog? Well aside from the character being so easily likeable, the art style of the blog is just awesome. It really is showing off exactly the reason why I started this Helix Week to begin with. The amount of quality and design you can get from using pencil to paper is astounding, and honestly this is the type of workmanship every blog who uses pencils and paper as their medium have to look forward to themselves.

Now what about some character development to lighten the mood eh?

Aww. Shame ain’t it? Guess it didn’t really serve to lighten up the mood did it? Still, you gotta give it to the little lady (er, mare?), she’s at least working hard right? Even if she hasn’t got the best of help in the world around her shop.

To be honest, I’m really looking forward to what this blog pumps out in the future. The character is interesting and adorable in her own sort of subtle way, and the style and medium used makes it a nice new look for your dashboard. Trust me folks, she’s very much worth the follow.

Well that was Winter Berry everyone! Stay tuned for tomorrow night when we take a look at how impressive you can make your art using just some pencils and markers! Here’s a hint as to who it is, it’s a popular blog about a certain mare who isn’t afraid of telling a little white lie.
