Description Helpful Shading guide:

 When you have your base color on your models or building colors from primer up, your at the point to try and focus on just its points with a darker color and a shade lighter for mid points and shade lighter for lighter points. I'm not sure how to tell you what I mean besides showing it.


1 is a darker color that rests on pointy bone areas
2 is a lighter color then 1 and sets/blends into 1 and is also main base color of the hole model
3 is even lighter and is your highlights that sets in dips and undersides

(just below the check bone before muzzle it should be a blend of 2 and 3)

This is how I work on the models....and hoping this makes sense. This gives depths and shading instead of just a flat color all over the horse. Judge your shading off your reference photo and in person on how darker or lighter your points should be, be sure to blend them into each other and most of all have fun!
