*** Final Update ***

Ok, I changed this to show all of my progress steps, with the new addition of the last step.
Full Version of Completed Piece - [link]
** Original Comments **
Yes, I'm trying for a realistic painting, lol. Key word: trying, lmao. These are just the base colors and I'll be working to blend them as I work.
Now, if I can just make my tablet behave, maybe I can finish this in my lifetime, lol. I'm hoping that updating the drivers is all it needed. I'm running Windows XP 64bit now and the website for my tablet doesn't list any 64bit drivers.
*** Update #1 ***
I added a little more to the base colors and blended them a little bit more. I also added some shadows and highlights of details to the eye area and the muzzle.
*** Update #2 ***
Ok, I started on a little more depth to the cheek and muzzle. I also started some of the shadows cast by the bridle.
*** Update #3 ***
I added more of the BASE colors for the rest of the neck, I still might tweak some around. Expanded on a little more of the fur texture at the top of the neck. And started work on the bridle details. I like how the leather looks, but I think I still need to work on the metal parts, lol.
*** Update #4 ***
Now, I've completed the details to the bridle. I think I got the metal parts right now. I still need to start on the reins. I started with the mane and forelock. I'm not sure if I'm satisfied with them yet, lol.
Anyway, still a ways to go before I'm done and I haven't even thought about what I should do for a background, lol.
*** Update #5 ***
I finished a lot of the details. I changed the background color. I'm still trying to sketch out a proper background, but they aren't satisfying me, lol.

Oh, by the way, since I'm chatting with you, I noticed that my name is no longer listed in your journal with the equine calender and store. I was just wondering if it was a mistake or not. If it wasn't, I am simply interested as to why not.

(Hehe, I wasn't really going for that, lol. I just know that I haven't really been adding a lot of complete pieces, so I thought I'd give my Watchers something to enjoy,
I love that idea,

realy nice...has a good aspect, but ... u did what i was waried about...u stuck to details and u lost the light source...i asked u in a earlyer stage...where do u have it? it seems like its in 3 different palces
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And this piece doesn't really have a single light source. I was ONLY concerning myself with whether or not I could pull off the details.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well if u say so

Meh, I guess I just wanted to first enjoy what growth I have made in my own artwork done entirely on my own before getting pointed out where my flaws lie. I expect to still have flaws. It is also the positive feedback that helps to keep my motivation going.

dont know about u but i prefer hard hursh critiq more than " thets good" "wow" or things like this, this make u feel good on the moment but dont realy help at evolving
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But, really, not every artist works the same way. I know that you are a new watcher to me, but if you've looked through my whole gallery, I'd at least hope I've shown some kind of improvement in the just over a year that I've actually been working on my art skills at all. That, on top of the fact that I've done it all pretty much on my own, except for a very small number of random tutorials. I do not hate all crits, but I know I can't handle harsh criticism. On a very, very personal note, I'm pretty depressed (no, I don't take any thing for it, can't afford and no insurance). So, I guess, basically, be gentle,

Oohh. It looks even more fantastic. <3 i think your mane and forelock are coming along nicely, if you ask me. xD
Perhaps put a stable in the background? Like he's walking out the pathway to an arena or something? Idk. Just an idea. Good luck - keep up the great work!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Awesome job! The bridle looks very nice and so does the mane. I can't wait to see it finished.

Wow, it's really improving. This is going to be so gorgeous when it's done.
