Description
NOTE: I did NOT finish painting the tail, only the mane.YAY! I finally made it, after weeks of putting it off.
I hope that you guys enjoy this tutorial, it's a little messy, but at least I got my point across. This is sort of a WIP/preview of the manip that I'm working on, but oh well.

This really helped! I did the steps (while in my own little world) and then smudged and it looked good! lol

I don't think you're doing anything wrong, just keep practicing! And If I were you I would work on a much bigger image, usually my canvas is at least 2000 px wide and 3000 px tall.Β

Could you write a tutorial on how to do this on PC/Laptop please? I don't get a laptop until I save up for one

Hi there,
I don't know how you could achieve this result without a tablet, but here are a few tutorials that may help. The only other way that I know about is smudging to achieve a mane and tail, although it's far more difficult.

I know...and it never looks as good when you smudge- when I get my tablet, do I need an actual one or just a graphics tablet?
Will check out the links thankyou

I just CANNOT paint, could you give me some tips?!???Please look at a few of my newer manips....

Just keep practicing, it takes about 30 or maybe 50 pieces of practice artwork to get painting down...also if you have a graphics tablet it'll help enormously.

ok, yea, some of my latest manips are better, and I just got a tablet, so I am still getting used to it...

No problem you'll be fine with more practice!

I'm stuck at step 1, I can't even paint a mane that doesn't look like junk!
Do you have any suggestion? Thank you very much, and thanks for this tutorial, I think it's very helpful!

I'm sure that it doesn't look as bad as you say. I would say to just keep on practicing and don't give up. Do you have a tablet?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, I do. I still have to get used to it, though, I got it recently. I will practice a lot, thank you very much.

for the shadows, do you paint them on a layer beneath all of the highlights, or above? owo

I do the soft light black at the very end. C:
