Would this be able to be achieved by using any program with layers and blending options or does it need to be a vector program specifically?

Yes, although the only vector related thing I've ever posted is this:Β www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z42D9Zβ¦

In the paragraph that discusses about selecting the inner and outer magic shapes, where is the paragraph discussing how you also create an outer magic shape when you discussed about the inner magic shape? I don't understand this.

The outer magic shape is the one you drew yourself: "Draw an initial magic shape. You can rough it out with the pencil tool and refine it with the pen tool, or just trace one from an MLP screenshot."

Which color should the magic be, the color of their eyes or the color of their cutie mark? Or just any color?

I believe it's usually the primary cutie mark color. But that's not a rule or anything.

is there any possible way to do this on MS paint?
π: 0 β©: 1
No. MS Paint is a raster graphics program. If you want to make vectors, you need a vector graphics program like Illustrator. Inkscape is a great free alternative.

i learned a way to kind of make it on ms paint, but it does not look exactly like the show

This a tremendous help and a lot more efficient than what I was using. Thank you!

Very helpful, thank you! Creating magic has always been a bit tricky for me, but your solution looks much easier and nicer.

Not that I know of. All the tutorials in the description, as well as mine, are adaptations of 's technique to various vector programs. SAI is a raster program, so you'd probably use a rather different technique.

I finally got this to work, but it takes a really long time for anything that I've used blend on to render. Sometimes it freezes the program for a few seconds. It shouldn't be a memory problem; I have 16 GB of it.
Has anyone else noticed this? I'm using CS6 by the way.

In Options > Blend > Blend Options, you can change how smooth the blend is. The smoother the blend, the longer it takes to render. So if it's slowing you down, try making the blend less smooth while you're working on the piece, and then up the quality onceΒ you're ready to export an image.

I've just downloaded Illustrator for vectoring so I'm excited to test out what I learned from these tutorials

I don't want to sound like a grammar nazi, but I found a misspelling here: prntscr.com/27sxz0

I believe so. Why don't you try it and find out?

Thank you so much for this tutorial (same goes for the eye tutorial though I really don't do my eyes 100% showstyle)! It helped a lot when I first began doing vectors and found really no other tutorials for Illustrator on this field.

does this work the same for gimp? or is there something else you have to do for it?
π: 0 β©: 2
you can't vector in gimp
π: 0 β©: 0
I have never used GIMP, so I can't say.

darn. This tutorial is great none the less

Just looked into scatter-brushes too. Do you have any experience using those with a few stars and highly random size, distance, rotation, and spacing settings?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yet another good idea. I'll look into this.

thanks for that tutorial., knowing i have Illustrator. i was wondering how to make the magic glow.
π: 0 β©: 0
I've had some luck on the stars
Effect -> Distort and Transform -> Transform
Check random, set the size to 125-150% and the move to taste. You can also have it make copies for you. Maybe you can figure out optimal settings, but it looks like it should help
