Description
Just workin' on realism
I was sick yesterday and bored, so I started this and finished it today. It came out too light when I scanned it so I tried darkening it after scanning, it sorta worked but made the head a little too dark.I was practicing my hatching skills, I've found I really like that style of shading. The darker dots are spots, same with the dark parts on his head.
Yes, his name is Stripes
After watching Racing Stripes I decided that if I ever had to name a zebra, I'd call it Spot. So why not call a spotted horse Stripes? Enjoy and feel free to critique!Please comment!

P.S. Yes, the head is bigger than the butt, it's because of the angle. His head is closer

This looks really great. I love all the little spots, this reminds of an appaloosa mare I used to ride, I miss her so much.
Good work on the anatomy too, I just think that even if the head is closer, the hind quarters still should be a bit bigger, but I think it's because of the angle, you didn't catch it so well, but this is still great anyway!
