Description Practice with my sharpies. These turned out much better, even if Pinkie Pie looks like she's pooping string. o_O;

These are 16-inch-class balloons, probably Tufftex or Perfect Products. The ponies pictured are from left to right, 9" styling Pinkie Pie (yes, she's giant), regular sized 1st year Pinkie Pie, and G1 Whizzer.

Very nice balloon drawings, nice to see them on a white balloon and a transparent balloon, I see you can have 16" balloons bigger than the normally party balloons, here 16"s are tooooooooo difficult to find.

It's funny and cute how the pony to the left is inflatting the yellow balloon, and the smaller pony aproaches to it

Haha, that was just my partner trying to keep everything from falling over! She does look like a little midget there. XD

A note on the balloons: I don't have many transparent ones at the moment, but they look really cool in the light. Even the white ones are great in the light if you put them on, say, a lamp with an open-topped shade (use fluorescent bulbs, or the heat might damage the balloon!) When they AREN'T being photographed, balloons play with light very nicely.

Ah, the hunt for balloons bigger than 9". If your local party and flower shops don't carry them, you can always order them online. Our favourite place to go is a local shop that has a well-stocked online store, including the mouse-eared mold that Disneyland uses. You can find them at www.laballoons.com. They specialize in qualitex, which I haven't tried drawing on yet, but I certainly will soon. I can't wait to get some white and transparent Q24s to draw with. :3

Thanks for your answer, may I know, when you talk about your partner, are you talking about Travisuped?

Sorry if I was rude at him, I got to be more tolerant to poppers, everybody has his/her way to enjoy balloons and many other things in life.

Nope, not Travis! My partner is the photographer. Travis is just a balloon-lover like yourself! You might want to apologize to him instead. We're all on the same side here, aren't we?

Well, I guess yes ... it's just that is difficult to see how other persons enjoying destroying the beautiful balloons. I got the impression, those people cannot see the beautiness in simple things of life, but guess I am wrong ... it's hard for me to understand that

Holy crap, wow. That's elaborate.
This was kind of an impressive thumbnail to me, and looks much better in full size. XD Good lighting, nice photo. Overall, it's nice to look at. x3

I got lazy and made my partner do the photo (he has fun with it). I think he did a good job! Thanks for the encouragement.
