Description
The first part turned out to be only some base prelude to the tutorial itself... few words about composition, perspective and some easy-to-do examples of backgrounds

Another part of this tut will be a step by step explaining tutorial done from the image I'm drawing now. Art with those two foals who are used as a models in this tutorial =] (siblings Karthala & Cirdan)

used this cute photo as a reference for foals: [link]

Very informative. I've been shown this before but it tends to slip away. This is a very good refresher. Looking forward to part 2. Thank you!

Wow, this is really helpful! It's good to know a bit about composition because it really can change the entire picture. I can't wait for the next part!

Wonderful tutorial!! Thank you a lot for sharing it with us This is the part were I have more difficults as I have a very large lack of crativity for backgrounds...so it is very hard for me to paint one without a reference

AonikaArt In reply to Dalgeor [2009-08-18 09:29:34 +0000 UTC]

You know at the beginning I was not using references at all - then started to use them and now I'm in the middle You have to find your own way and maybe this tut will help you in some way
