Description
felt like trying out the grayscale technique, saves so much time not having to change/fix the colours constantly haha
will be moved to scraps soon, and yes I know it looks a bit crappy right noow
EDIT: head finished, body next!
EDIT2: failed at the body, erased it all and did the mane, attempt 2 next!
EDIT3: Higher contrast, shaded the mane!
EDIT4: Grayscale finished! Time for colour
EDIT5: Finished - !

I actually quite like grayscale works. This one (even though it's at its very early stages) looks beautiful so far. The horse itself is lovely (Arab?).

Thank you! Same here, working with grayscales is great when you can't decide what colour you want the piece to be in. It gives you the opportunity to try different options

You're welcome! And that's very true. It's even nice to save it as different colors or even different layers of colors and decide from there. Also, I noticed that all your grayscaling is complete. Looks amazing!

Yes exactly, it was really nice getting the option to see it in different colours before choosing. Thanks a lot!

You can probably edit the colours in afterwards, too :3 I tend to cheat and colour some of my pencil drawings with photoshop..

Yeah, sometimes staying patient is really hard.. I take a lot of breaks and always listen to music and sometimes even watch tv at the same time to keep me sane haha

Ahaha I tend to do that but then I get overly distracted lol Like I mean my last set of line took me five days.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah that happens sometimes but then a day comes where I just want to sit and draw for hours and hours so I do it, and it works!

I always feel like I want to draw then I try and I always think it looks so bad lol At least yours look like what your trying to draw lol

Haha well it's like that for everyone at least in the beginning, I've been doing this for years! Three years ago my horses did not look like horses

lol c: I've been doing digital art for like 1 and a half years but i've only had a tablet for like 10 months lol But I remember drawing horses as a kid and they would look nothing like anything really lol

Haha, yeah it takes a while

Its so hard when you first get a tablet though and you don't undertsand it at all.
