Description This is a vent drawing for the days that I feel like quitting. The stress in school, work, and family has been a lot lately. But I'm trying every day to live day by day and tell myself, "One more day."

Thanks to wittch 's tutorial, I was able to color this a lot faster. I'm trying out new methods of organizing my artwork so I can get it as clean as possible. I had a hard time when I first sketched this because I couldn't draw the back legs in the right angle right so I gave up If anyone has or knows of a tutorial for horse's legs, please share

Thank you for watching.

I know what you mean, shit happens and you just wanna stop and get a break... Other than art is there anything you do to relax or try something new once and a while?

Art can be so therapeutic, it's been a long time since I've done a real "vent art" but it is very releasing. And yours looks incredible. Looks like you never missed a beat doing artwork.

I think those feelings are all too familiar for the most of us, sadly. Art is a great way to get those feelings out sometimes, though not always.
A lot of life pressures are superficial, many of them we put on ourselves and stress over them too much when they really aren't that big of a deal. I have found that even when the worst things happen and it feels like your life is falling apart, there's always something around the corner that will save it from crumbling completely. I almost had this heart attack when I got an F in one of my classes this past semester and I was afraid my University was going to kick me out because my GPA was too low (family issues took a severe toll), but my high GPA from my last semester saved me and kept me in good academic standing.
Even if it's hard to see, there's always something hiding around the corner ready to swoop you up and save you

Thank you so much for reminding me that there is always a way out. It's true, I think that a lot of the stress is my fault. I stress over the little things and just expect things to go perfect. I'm glad to know that you were able to pull through as well Thank you!

We all have our weaknesses! But studying and practicing is the way to go. You'll be fine! I'm sure there are plenty of resources for looking at horse legs, right? Though probably not at that angle, haha.

Leadmare In reply to LadyLombax [2016-07-20 23:29:12 +0000 UTC]

Lol that's exactly why I couldn't find a good resource and I gave up trying to fix it.

It would be nice to just have a 3D model of a horse to pose however you want, wouldn't it? I do that for humans with DesignDoll, but they don't have a horse model, or any other animals for that matter. :/

I thought about the exact same thing yesterday and I only found an ugly wooden model online xD

LadyLombax In reply to Leadmare [2016-07-21 22:23:08 +0000 UTC]

Well, maybe someday I can make a program that will allow for people to pose different kinds of 3D models. That would be really nice for artists! I'm going to add this to my list of ideas for programs. I'm learning C++ and 3D modeling, so if I do this someday, I'll definitely allow other artists to use it! Not sure what you should do in the mean time, but good luck I guess
