Description
Portrait of a mare and new foal. I want to say the mare is a Pony of the Americas. I do know that she is absolutely gorgeous!Here is the original photo I worked from [link]
I really didn't anticipate their colors being so difficult to capture but I had a really hard time with it!
I have a cold
i'm all sniffly and dizzy *cries*EDIT: Errr.. The perspective was driving me crazy and I wasn't the only one who could see it so I played around more with trying to make it look like she is on a hill rather than a flat plain

I think, you imprecise drew a hoofs of the mare. Like this look a hoofs of the sick horse.

Don't know how you did it, but I think you got the hill perspective going very well. All I'd say is maybe make the shadows longer, as they sometimes are when hitting a hill? (if the light source is coming at them from the...side...now I'm mixed up...don't mind me. I've got finals on the brain.

This is excellent! I didn't notice anything wrong with the perspective, but I do definitely love the way you've done the grass/background, the earthy tones & the color of the foal. I think of all of this, my favorite is mama's mane... it almost looks like fine-grain wood. Sooo pretty!!

I like it! I wasd comparing the actual picture and the stetch and I noticed that you refrenced it but you made it in your own style which is really impressive. When I use refrences I always end up copying the style of whatever I'm looking at.

Yourwelcome!! I envy your shading, its so clean!
Soft shading? Is that when you gradient? Or cell shade and lower occupacity?

I like to color in area I just want to change the color on slightly and then I use a gaussian blur to make the edges soft and lower the opacity

i'm pretty sure she's not a POA. that stands for Paint of America and from her spotted butt it looks like an Appaloosa.
great art though. i'm obsessed with horses and i love drawing them so i know how insanely hard it can be. looks like you've got it though!

I always understood POA to mean Pony of the Americas? I may be mistaken though
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like it!

oh. well my best friend's horse is a POA and she is a registered paint...so i have always known POA to mean Paint of America...but she is really small, maybe just under 14.2 hands...so right at a pony level. i'm not sure though. it could be pony...
